The lucrative video gaming market you were a member of no longer exists. It's been replaced by a lucrative consumer milking machine.
Sure, a new video game market is forming around the fringes, but it's far from lucrative.
We had advisories from "concerned" police that Apple's service was potentially life-threatening.
Not ruling out the advisories may have been overblown, but yeah... that's a fiasco alright.

Taking the lane when it gets narrow is the safest way to deal with that situation, it's taught by riding instructors everywhere and is totally legal. In fact, taking the lane is just the safest policy all round - even safer than using bike lanes (which are there to increase rider participation rather than safety).
Honestly, you just need to sack up. Driving a car in traffic is pretty intimidating too until you get used to it, and you don't notice the haters after you get used to the idea that you are riding where you are supposed to be riding.
Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear.
