Okay, first, squeeeeeeeee Roxy. ♥ I'm glad she's been appeased!
And yes, I don't agree with the way Square has been working that particular release model... but I'm hoping, like I said, that they're changing it again. We'll have to see--they'd been making enough money the old way that there's little incentive for them to stop, from a "companies like making money so that's what they'll keep doing" perspective.
As for AC and its story, like I said, totally up to you whether you liked it or disliked it... not going to debate that, as my main purpose of debating anything here were the actual mechanics of the storytelling.
As for you and your fan status? Totally not ungrateful, hon. If you are, then so is anyone else who ever wrote a fanfic, which is more often a tribute of love to the series rather than done entirely out of spite. (I mean, you could say, "I got angry Rowling killed Sirius!" and write a huge epic fanfic in which Sirius doesn't die, but at its heart it would still be because you loved something of the original... so it still comes out of love for it.)
So nah, not ungrateful at all!
As for me, I enjoy it for the lovely eyecandy it is and I can appreciate all the hard work that went into it (they didn't use motion capture for any of the fight scenes, which equals instant amazing to me), but if I still write anything, unless it's meant specifically to address AC canon, I still pretty much write and pretend that the Compilation itself doesn't exist.
