Its nice when things get portrayed in a good light like this

Frankly, I'm impressed that this whole thing made it into the Times, and that the Times didn't make the gamers look like assholes. In fact, they portrayed the actions of the Amazon flamers as exactly what they were intended to be.

Well played EA, Cooper Lawrence haters, New York Times, and even Cooper Lawrence, first for retracting her statements and secondly for granting this opportunity for video games to put some points on the board.

Wonder if the apology is motivated more out of self-preservation, rather than "hey I was wrong" humility.
