Wow....Dont they know that people like to have a choice on skins....not everybody likes the same ole hum drum stuff, it give a verity to make the game intresting to play....not only that it will boost their sales of their software if people is given an option to modify it to their liking. If the law suit goes through (hope not), I for one will never buy their software again!
