It is always amusing to see the head of optional entertainment industries make statements like they are making a declaration on par with climate change, a economic depression, etc. As if they expect massive press coverage and endless crying by their would be customers.

When in reality the actual reaction by most is along the lines of "oh no, anyway" and move on to the next bit of optional entertainment media while they and their company are forgotten to the trash pile of failed companies.
