I've recently saw the news about Valve saying "We don't see the big bad side of Microsoft"... My first thought was: "Well what else are you going to say about those who finance you?"
It's not like they're brain dead or something to say the actual truth (keep reading, this ain't no fanboy stuff...).
Then I began reading some comments of that so called news. Everyone was stating their opinion. Microsoft is like this, Microsoft is like that... bla, bla, bla. Everyone talking like they actually know something. But the fact is they don't .
They are just saying their opinion. That's it... only a opinion.
To know something you would actually have to work for that company/developer studio.
I'll use my friends job as a example:
He works at our countriess best & biggest chocolate factory. Everyone loves their products. The company is nicely presented in commercials, posters and other stuff so you get a nice opinion of them. But when I hear my friend talk about it... it sounds like a h*ll holl. He talks about the way it's being run, it's biggest problems, etc. You get the actual picture about it.
What I want to say about this is that you know sh!t about something if you aren't involved in it(involved in that studio or company). So don't believe every ones opinion, mostly they don't know what they are talking about. :)

This factory game is calm and methodical, rewarding patience, creativity, and attention to detail. This game is for you if you like the satisfaction of a well-oiled machine and the challenge of designing it yourself.

Too true, we don't know much about these companies yet we all like to think we know them. I think people jump to conclusions about companies as well. Even I do it a lot.
True dat.
I am sorry but.. where did you find that stick person image lol. Tell me you didn't make that in paint just for this blog.

I agree, good read.
I mean, Microsoft is sued all over the place for their business practices. Wouldn't it be safe to assume that seeing that they've been convicted multiple times of uncompetitive practices all over the world, and still have lawsuits going everywhere, that there's something to these allegations? It would be one thing to express a completely unfounded opinion with no means of backing it up, but in this case we can clearly point and say "Huh? Yeah. See what I mean?"
Nah, I just found it randomly... but now that you mention it it does look like made in MS paint :P
