So, they are 'playing the game'.

Agreed on all counts.
Again, my issue is with the hypocrisy of the article and the individual who posted it. They suggest that Apple should have more rigorously engaged in unethical behaviour to avoid their fate (implying that they deserved it—what hubris), yet had the ruling gone the other way we'd be reading an article about how nefarious Apple engaged in corporate bribery to get its way.
There is no winning scenario. There is just blind hatred. Any excuse will suffice to criticize.
