1UP: Origin Sale Hypocrisy Renders Executive Comments Worthless

1UP: "The statements made by videogame company executives when they shift into marketing speak mode can be difficult to believe. They are invariably going to talk up their employer — that's to be expected. When they aren't boasting but are merely outlining plans for the future, though, it seems reasonable to believe what they're saying, particularly when those plans could be perceived as negative.
