Admit you're wrong and fix the vanilla 840s and OEM devices based on the same or similar firmware/NAND. Keep mistreating customers and they will leave. This is not the smart tv market with average joes not caring. Most SSDs are purchased by pros, are specced en masse for machines by pros, or by well informed enthusiasts, Treat this customer base ill at your peril.

1. The search results are only changing for non-mobile friendly devices IF the search originates from a mobile device, not for everyone.

2. This has very little to do with ad revenue. Google is always tweaking the algorithms that feed the results page. This does not give any new precedence to paid advertisers at all.

Basically they want you to bring your site into the 21st century. I see no real issue here. Responsive sites that are designed well (IE, not slashdot mobile), can be useful, and you can always request the full desktop site (if the site honors that request). Content and formatting do not exist independently of each other. Do you want some gopher sites in your search results?

Even were the spammers able to coordinate and get a game greenlighted (doubtful at best), they would still get kicked out by normal reporting procedures, requiring an endless parade of $5 accounts to keep scamming.

I received three invites this week from scammers. rather than ignore, I accept, wait for the bait then report. Two sent fake steam community links that were typosquatting malware, I did not investigate further as I was not near a test box and did not want a drive by infection. One sent a bit.ly link to a trojan downloader. When I put it in my test system, it promptly installed cryptowall3. Personally I am all for reasonable measures to curtail these douches. $5 seems reasonable to me.
