It just seems Trent Reznor is really trying to make things special for his hard core NIN fans. Limited Ed album, free NIN membership, lowering of ticket prices.
The past couple of interviews w/ Rob and Scott, I'm hearing, "we're going to make so much money" or "i need new sources of income" or "lets get merchandise out to fans to make money". I realize $$$ are part of the business, but jeez, being a fan since Core through everything STP has done, it would be nice to say we want to get back out to our fans. Our hardcore fans. Reconnect and give them something for sticking w/ us through the years. Its fine to hear about how much $$$ they're going to make, it would be cool follow that up with an acknowledgement to the fans.
