Bullshit, Bruce Nesmith. You're just a dishonest coward trying to absolve yourself of blame.
Edit: the paid horse armor was extremely controversial among gamers at the time, and plenty of people prophetically warned about what the consequences were going to be. Bethesda damn well knew or should have known exactly what Pandora's box they were opening.
Should they have known before the backlash started?
Yes! They announced the plan before they actually did it; they had plenty of time to realize how pissed off it made everybody.
