Dude, when nobody wants to be affiliated with your business or be identified as someone who's supporting your business, you have to do what you have to do.

It's not like companies are clamoring to support this industry. Yes, people are falling over themselves to invest in these companies, but with federal issues hanging over these places, the cash only aspects and how society looks at these companies (yes, this is slowly changing too) they are in a tough spot to find good software support.
