Fur-lined? Genuine sheep's wool. Soft on the gonads.
Naw. Plain denim. If it's sunny around here, it's shorts weather.

My voice may not have an impact on the minds at Cryptic but they have a F with the BBB which makes me happy. At the very least, they have that glaring at them to maybe motivate SOME change. It's whatever right now....
Yeah. You know what it takes to get rid of an "F" rating with the BBB?
Join them Pay dues. Suddenly, you're a great company!
The BBB may have once had a use, but for at least the past decade or so it's been primarily a way to shake down merchants. "You got a real nice rep here. Real nice. Be a shame if somethin' happened to it..."

Yeah, if you pay them they inflate your rating. If you don't? They pretty much just hear negative feedback. It's not a "you didn't join so we're downvoting you" kinda deal, so much as a "you're not a member, therefore we don't ever field compliments" situation. Internet Nerd Rage exacerbates this to a pretty heavy degree.
A pretty funny experiment to run is to check cryptic and pwe against EA. I don't even think we can pretend that this is a fair comparison, given EA's drm issues and other evilness. Deactivating copies of spore after 3 installs... On the same computer.
Yet, they're in the BBB, so the BBB does surveys and such to boost their rating. Here? Not so much.
In game, I am @EvilTaco. Happily killing purple gang members since May 2008. RIP Caine
