Message of car enthusiasts who know the developers from the rip-off artists.
The ridiculous claim that 'any publicity is good publicity' doesn't hold up in a group that constantly talks about developments (often with the developers in the same forums!) and members who consistently ask about product quality. We know rip off shit when we see it, and are vocal about it.
We're not some woman in Brooklyn too lazy to do proper research on a company before purchasing online. We have a group of like-minded enthusiasts that question and poll each other about current offerings from vendors. That is our power.
Keeping silent on matters like this only helps AMS dupe more people.
