True amateurs (in the etymological sense, those who LOVE their craft) never alienate their fan base; they appreciate it and cajole it. Just look at Tauer.

(and not for lack of quality). <br />I think they're exploiting the segmentation of the market; aiming higher at richer wallets. Corner all corners.
