Upper management at a billion dollar company caring about the employees? That doesn't happen, if it did people like the CEO of HP spending 70,000,000 on two jets while she fired thousands.
If it doesn't effect them directly they just don't fucking care.
Why mod it down? Because you didn't agree with it? That isn't the purpose of the moderation system and it is because of people like you that the system doesn't work as well as it should.
You should apply for a moderator position at freerepublic.com and/or democraticundeground.com as you moderation system fits in a lot better at those two sites.
First let me say that I currently play Ultima Online. UO appears to be a project that is being slowly phased out, I base this of the following:
1: The next publish (what UO calls updates) is mostly (90%) about the ability to move characters between shards (seperate UO worlds)
2: The event moderaters have been removed and will,more than likely, not be back.
3: It is almost impossible to BUY THE GAME in stores anymore. Next to no brick and morter stores carry it and EA does next to no advertizing for it. So how does it attract new customers?

No, the AoS client that you download doesn't come with the code to enable the new AoS areas. I have a 4-5 page tech support ticked on this issue.
In the end they refused to get me a code. This are several postions on uo.stratics.com (the official UO boards) about this 'issue'.

That would upset the managers at EA and we can not have that! Everyone else can fuck off, but the managers can't be inconvienced.

This will result in the death of Ultima Online.
Well, it did have a long run.
That is what every cobal programmer said. Guess what, they where wrong and so are you.
Please stop programmer if you are unable to think about the results of your actions.
Nice observations skills :->
It was an example. THAT IS ALL IT WAS. He didn't compare it to WR or SPARC. Grow up and don't get offened at the drop of a hat.

If the 2 Billion figure is correct it will be a first. It is more than likely off by 50%...

And the average pay of the new jobs that are being created in the US is down about 15-20%. That can not continue.
You can't get a top of the line system for 500...
Fixed in later versions means the customer had to buy a new version to get the bug fixes. That isn't support that is sales.
We are not at war & and the person held wasn't a member of our land/naval/or militia.
Have you every been to the US? Because it sure doesn't sound like it.
How do the American consumers gain? What prices have went down because of outsourcing to India/China? What is now cheaper?
Things don't always work that way in the real world.
