Digital Suicide could have taken the review in stride, and marked all their sales slogans with Sterling's quotes. Then they could have created a second game building on the same concepts as the first, and marketed as, "Winning Worst Game of 2014, We are trying again for 2015!"
Using bad publicity to create a lasting impression that will sure get people to see what made it so bad, all while going down in history for being "the best (worst) at something of the year."

Mike was summing-up "Consumer Watchdog." The full excerpt is, "The press release from Consumer Watchdog fits along its typical approach to these things: take something totally out of context, put some hysterical and inaccurate phrasing around it, dump an attention-grabbing headline on it and send it off to the press"
Yet, no one gets suspended for actual violence... "Kick a ginger day" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBOjl8lG9GI
But, @ 1:35, someone does say, "we need to do more." So folded figures, bitten sandwiches and Pop Tarts, cartoonish bomb doodles, and ASL names... BAD BAD BAD!

A) Which of these Turkey-preparation patents were strictly used for turkeys -- or was the patent just a normal "bird-preparation" patent with the word "turkey" slapped on to it, to present the idea as being "new" and "noble"?
B) Have these patent holders ever sued (or litigated) over a similar method of bird-preparation so they could have exclusive rights?
C) How the heck does one enforce such patents? By visiting culinary schools and food dispensaries throughout the year?
I too, remember such a text viewer. If I recall correctly, it was an "ANSI ART" viewer programmed by a team named "ACiD". Back when running a WWIV BBS, and later a DLX BBS, I would see the "ACiD Viewer" for the PC included in all the LHA/ARC/PKZ/DMS/WRP/ZIP files, along with the usual .ans & .asc group and file_id.diz description txt files.
while in manual reading mode, the ANSI Viewer would "bounce" when got to the bottom of your long ansi art. very simple stuff.
Although it was nice, it was nothing new. I had seen several "loaders" for the Commodore Amiga which did the same thing.
Except in this situation, B&N is not selling or renting personal information to a random third party entity. B&N is "splitting-off" 100% of an asset which B&N no longer cares to be the custodian of, to an individual person which was recently under the B&N umbrella.
Serial numbers/CD-Keys, passwords, credit card numbers, and other private information that someone thinks should remain private. Sometimes something as minor as pre-release details of products that have not yet been made public information such as what Apple general has been know to do when specs prematurely leak -- again, see point #1.
Similar to this one?

Re: Trainers
"Doctor of Medicine" and "Doctor of Education" are less similar than a "personal trainer" and an "elephant trainer" are.
I am curious to know more...
