PennyArcade Report senior editor Ben Kuchera recently wrote suggesting gamers buy a Wii U as a message to Sony and Microsoft about how important the issue is to them.
An increasingly bad-tempered altercation with one such customer was shared with a number of games media luminaries, most significantly Mike Krahulik of the enormously popular gaming webcomic and blog PennyArcade.
And a Twitter post by Ben Kuchera, senior editor for the PennyArcade Report, may sum up the overall feelings of many about the Wii U -- at least for now.
He is justifying his behaviour first to Customer Dave and then to Mike Krahulik on that one day, in a series of emails between the morning (threatening to block Dave from cancelling and reordering the controllers) and late evening (threatening PennyArcade with a smear campaign).
