For them (and their counterparts in the music and entertainment industry) it is far easier to bury heads in sand and cry poor when they release "woe is me" press releases based on dubious, exaggerated, misread or falsified statistics.
They'd rather QQ (to borrow a bit of WOW terminology) because they can't see beyond the next fiscal quarter's bottom line. Short term vs. long term thinking and all that.
