    I don’t know, kind of sounds like they learned something and that’s a win.

    Sometimes indignation can lead to amazing things, somebody told me in 2000 that I couldn’t make a 3D game for the web using 2D software and I felt so challenged and pissed-off I actually programmed a 3D rendering engine using that tool so I could make a virtua tennis style game playable on the web.

    A world first out of spite.

    Edit: In case anybody cares the tool was Macromedia Director which was a 2D raster authoring tool that you could use to make Shockwave games. And the feature that came out in (I think) patch 6.5 made 2D sprite skewing a thing which enabled me to make this!
