This is the second, and final, addendum to the "be excellent to each other" episode. While I am loathe to drag this on longer, I listened to the show this morning and I think I was unfair in how I told the story of the events in QC3. I wanted to make one last pass to call myself out and then make myself clear.
Some facts presented in the episode "be excellent to each other" have changed. This addendum reflects those changes and will hopefully be the last time the topic needs addressed.
This was recorded prior to Super Awesome Games sending out an email update on how they are handling the situation.
Some signifigant amount of this show is now out of date. I am deeply happy SAG rendered this show obsolete prior to it being posted.
