Summer of SWTOR

The voting was admittedly trolled by reddit and 4chan users, hence it bares no value whatsoever. The fact that people insist on bringing it up despite this is incredibly asinine in my opinion.

It's like if there was an internet poll to vote that blue is actually red and a group like Anonymous started a campaign to vote that yes, blue is actually red it would somehow be a fact and we should all start calling blue, red.

I mean, seriously. Is EA knowingly supporting child labour in 3rd world countries by choosing to buy minerals from suppliers that use child labour? Are they actively polluting ground waters across the globe, resulting in water shortages and health problems? Are they actively contributing to the deforestation on the Amazon, which is essentially the lungs of the planet? Are they patenting plants that pollinate private fields, then sue the owners for patent infringement? No, they make video games lol.

I'm no fan of their practices and the way they are affecting the gaming industry but they aren't actively adding to the misery of the human race as a whole.

Lets face it...it earned the worst company reward IMO.

Sorry LA.... but they did not earn it per se in any objective sense in the silly internet determination of worst company.

Worse then the big 5 banks (who spawned a world economic meltdown)??

Worse then oil companies causing billions and billions of dollars in real, measurable environmental damage to the planet... while continuing to pocket record profits (under an umbrella of continued tax subsidies)??

Seriously?? Is that what objectivity in the internet has become? A game company is the baddest, evilist, most dispicable company on the planet??

Sorry.. but the voters priorities in the worst company poll were clearly skewed by immature gaming of the poll.

Agreed, but to play devil's advocate, we need the banks and the oil companies. They may be evil, but they are a necessary evil. EA, Blizzard, all these video game companies could disappear tomorrow and I would just have to start watching television again....wait... I take it back, we do need EA!

Considering how long humans have been around and how long banks and oil companies have been around, "necessary" isn't the word I would use.

Off-topic of course, but modern life absolutely depends on the financial and energy sector. Sure we could go back to life several thousand years ago...but...let's not.

I love SWTOR, but it's pretty clear their staff doesn't love it as much as the fans do. It should be something they can't wait to get home to play after work. Their staff should love the game and more or less be obsessed with it, LOVE IT. Yet, their staff treats the game like it's a 9-5 job and they can't WAIT to leave the office.

Considering that roughly a quarter of the entire worlds population lives without electricity, that statement is a bit funny. By that I mean you don't have to go to life in the past, just far enough in regular miles.

Darn it, I live in America. We make a habit of ignoring the suffering of others. I'll not have you reminding me of it!
