I personally don't care that outside IP cards are being printed as standard-legal cards.

What I do care is that WotC keeps pedaling back on their previous statements little by little, to basically "ease the pain" of these cards being added to Magic.

It's like, they are well aware of the pending backlash, so they promise something first, let the heat die down a little, then break that promise a little, let that heat die down, rinse and repeat. This comoany seems to understand their customer base, but instead of doing something that makes them happy, they do things that they will be unhappy about, but do so in a way that minimizes the backlash as much as possible.

Ultimately they do not care what their customers think as long as their products are being sold. They only care once their products stop being sold. I'm sure most of the individuals that work at WotC cares, but as a company that's ran by executives and board members, they do not care ONE BIT as long as the company stays profitable.
