Have you ever heard of the concept of Ethical Business Practices? Probably not.

Skotos has a bunch of flaws. They are more MUSH'es then they are traditional MUD's. Their advertising was not properly executed, and from what I remember about the game itself, was bit cumbersome to play.

But they continue to walk the moral high-ground. No-one has ever accused them of stealing code, they have contributed numerous articles to the community, and numerous ideas. They don't hide behind falsehoods of the games being free to play. They don't ride into the forums, and ruthlessly try to get their mud onto the topmudlist (are they even in the listings?) they don't have admins writing 'player reviews'.

A flawed Business Model, is a completely different issue then having an ethically deficient Business Model.
