I hope someone writes a book about this one day -- the transition from being the underdog to the dominant player in the field. It seems like a very difficult transition, both for the contestant and the fan.

While I understand where you're coming from, it does feel a little bit about being conflicted over the possibility of a company doing something bad in the future.

Early adopters will almost always feel some kind of shafting when a company grows. Early adopters just aren't looking for the same things as the broader public. They can always try to have a less painful transition but I think the adopters need to start to learn how to meet companies half way.
