Although I certainly dont know why hitech chose not to even inform NUTTZ about the merchandise opportunity let alone source it through him. It does, at least on the surface, seem like a pretty damn rotten thing to do ignoring a long time business partner - and yes thats certainly is somebody who sponsors you with product for three years running. And actually I think this IS something hitech needs to explain to us, because NUTTZ is not just some annonymous business man he is member of our playing community and it seems he had excellent service and quality to all the people at the con who got his shirts and hats and whatever, and again he was a big HTC sponsor and contributor for many years. If there was a business decision made, I think we should know why.
NUTTZ's insulting and ranting post no doubt did a disservice to his cause, but the dismissive and attacking posts the other way are worse because they show Hitech he can act in any way and make any business decission however seemingly unethical and get away with it unscathed in customer perception. And yes as a business major in college I see skipping over a quality three year businees partner and sponsor for a new contrcat without even informing him him of the opportunity to be unethical. And we as paying custimers deserve a report when something that unusal happends. HTC can do whatever they want, I'm guessing Hitech and Pyro are the sole owners and they can do whatever they want, but it is a great disservice to their customers if they create this feeling of distrust towards business partners and community members, and this they do by not explaining their actions.
Anyway thats how I feel...
Hitech?
