@BlueComet400 posted:The only thing that is likely to get MTH's attention is this: if we simply stop buying their products. We are essentially being forced to use a phone or tablet if we want to run DCS. If the orders start to dwindle and they start choking on their inventory, my guess is they would find a way to continue producing a designated remote. Someone once told me that men are just little boys with money; as long as that money keeps flowing to MTH, they have zero incentive to listen to what anyone says.
Its an interesting idea but you are making an assumption that MTH (or what ever is left of MTH) can make a remote, they just don't want to. I think it is far more likely that this much reduced "MTH" can't make a remote because they no longer can make or support them. So buying or not buying their locomotives will not sway them one way or another on the remotes. You can't persuade them to do what they are incapable of doing.
