Well, Henry, I guess this is one of those instances where we'll have to agree
to disagree (and I thought this only happened with Larry! :). I don't
understand why you insist on representing EA as a company that's been
persecuted on this forum. I don't believe that's the case at all. Something
you might want to consider is that if EA's programs were all of the same
quality as other company's programs EA would statistically have a higher
chance of getting complaints just because of their prevalence. I think that
people here have the idea that EA stuff is at least tested somewhat before
release, a feeling that isn't always replicated with other company's
products.
As you said before, business is business, and regardless of what we
say here EA will stay in business as long as they feel the monetary return is
rewarding enough. I feel no responsibility towards stroking them to keep
them happy, and if I don't like something they're doing I'm bloody well going
to let them know. That includes leaving messages here to rally support. I
have no argument with you saying what you wish, but I DO object strongly to
the idea that people should gag themselves to avoid hurting EA's collective
feelings.
