I'm glad they did it, because the kid deserved some compensation if he was assured a service he did not receive, but I tend not to applaud companies for doing what is so obviously in their best interest. Frankly, compensating Nathaniel (that was his name, right?) was really good PR (read: cheap advertising), and they only did it to give potential customers incentive to think they aren't sa bad as they act. Anyway, good for the kid whose 360 got messed up before. |
I always find this sort of post to be amusing. So... if they *don't* do anything to try and compensate the person damaged then MS is a heartless, evil company. However, if they *do* do anything to try and compensate the person damaged, then MS is a heartless, evil company that's trying to look good in the public eye.
I wonder what MS could actually have done to try and compensate the fellow that you would have found acceptable.
