[QUOTE="Alzrius, post: 9338483, member: 8461"] That point is moot now, since I find Riggs credible in his saying that Cocks was the one who came up with the idea, but I disagree with you here as per the reasoning that others have mentioned with regard to how much a CEO is necessarily aware of what their subordinates are doing. And he's free to share them, if he's so inclined, but that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't react to what we've been told. Riggs' report suggests that Cocks was the one who came up with the idea. If there's additional information that would shed new light on that, I'm happy to adjust my position in reaction to it, but by that same token I'm going to have a response based on what's been put forward currently, rather than a "may have" or "what if" with nothing to support it. (And as I've said before, Riggs has enough credibility in terms of insider sources that I don't see cause to dismiss what he's saying out of hand.) I didn't say that his disagreeing with me meant that he wasn't part of the gaming community. I said that I look askance on his claims that he's part of the community while also deciding to kill something that the vast majority of said community holds in such high regard. You'd think someone in tune with their own community would have realized beforehand how wildly unpopular such an action would be, and the harm it would cause. For you. For other people, with different values and priorities, it's much more salient. And that's okay. [/QUOTE]
