I understand the rationale for filing this issue, although I personally disagree with it... Docker for Mac is great freeware, and I don’t mind logging into Steam and Mac Store for my other apps, so I don’t have an issue with doing the same with Docker. But for someone who greatly cares about not having to give their email, I can see how it can be annoying to see the policy change after they started using the software... Either way... Holy shit is that github thread full of negativity and entitlement! Pretty shocking. Even if you’re unhappy with something, that’s no way to treat a team that is giving you a tool for free!

The more hilarious part is the reaction from here. You can't be a successful startup if you don't have a list of your product's users.

    Yes, they do. Literally. the first version required you to register by phone or mail in order to get the full game. If you mean the most recent version... they know exactly which commercial retailers purchased the game, and in what quantities. They might not know exactly which consumer ended up with those games, but those consumers were not their customers, the retailers were.

While I agree there seems to be a significant amount of negativity on display, I'm not sure I'm shocked by it. The ticket response by joaofnfernandes is remarkably tone deaf and reads as fairly dishonest.

I think the fact that you focus on the "entitlement" and that I focus on the fact that the maintainer gave a bullshit, misleading answer to an important question, is related to the fact that you don't mind having to log in to download a tool and I do.

> Either way... Holy shit is that github thread full of negativity and entitlement! Negativity - rightfully so imo. Entitlement - many people have contributed to the docker project. It's open source. Entitlement comes with the territory. It's the hateful and cruel comments that bother me. State your opinion of the move to a loginwall, don't hate the ppl who did it.
