Ask Massively: You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake.

Massively: "Treating me like a chump", "Betrayal", "lies, cheats, and hypes", "scams, (false) promises, and lies", "Buing (sic) a MMORPG is a matter of TRUST".

Before I start singing "These are a few of my favorite things…", let me point out that these are references to comments in last week’s Ask Massively. Specifically, they are comments from some of my readers on how they feel about "buggy MMO’s" and the companies that launch them.

Lupinus asks: How do you trust someone when they lied/misled you?

I hope that most of you didn’t find last week’s commentary too painful, because you’re not going to like this answer much at all.

This may come as a shock to some of you, but companies are not your best friends, nor are they artists striving for perfection in their chosen field. They are business that are trying to make a buck. In order to achieve this goal, they engage in an activity known as "advertising".
