Everyone makes mistakes - this wasn't the first by Mozilla and won't be the last.  I don't believe they are acting out of malice.  As long as they admit and correct mistakes as they go along
that is fine with me.

Here's the most complete statement from Mozilla that I could find regarding this:

############################################################################

"Our goal with the custom experience we created with Mr. Robot was to engage our users in a fun and unique way," Mozilla's chief marketing officer, Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, told Gizmodo. "Real engagement also means listening to feedback. And so while the web extension/add-on that was sent out to Firefox users never collected any data, and had to be explicitly enabled by users playing the game before it would affect any web content, we heard from some of our users that the experience we created caused confusion."

"As a result we will be moving the Looking Glass Add-on to our Add-On store within the next 24 hours so Mr. Robot fans can continue to solve the puzzle and the source can be viewed in a public repository," Kaykas-Wolff added.

############################################################################

Can you point out to me which part indicates that Mozilla admits that they made a mistake. Sounds to me like they're just blaming the dumb users for not understanding how wonderful was "the experience [they] created".

Does anyone read this as Mozilla admitting that they messed up?
