Blizzard, on the other hand, wears it like a badge of honor or a signal of virtue. So, how moral is it to fool a group of people into believing in their seemingly similar ideals, when behind their back, in hopes they don't hear about it, they would strike them away at a moment's notice? I believe attention should be paid to both sides, not whichever one makes them the most money regardless of location.
    I don't think you quite understand how corporations work. Money-making businesses don't set or advance values or things like a progressive agenda, they try to reflect the values of the society they are operating in.

    That's why you see a lot of companies flying rainbow logos for pride month in western nations but not in places like the Middle-East, it is consistent if you understand their goals.

    While it seems consistent to us its heresy to some. They think companies are their friends.

    This thread has wandered far astray from its admittedly shaky premise and will now be closed.
    "We're more of the love, blood, and rhetoric school. Well, we can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and we can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory. They're all blood, you see." ― Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
