The problem is if you burn your readers you will lose them too. Also another publication might tell the advertisers to go fuck themselves and take all your readers with their higher integrity.
I would go for criminal negligence or selling explosives or whatever you can get. Selling a product that ignores safety standards and endangers the user is most likely criminal.
Remember how much flak Nokia got for exploding or melting batteries. Their defense was that those are counterfeits but there was no good way to tell a fake from a real one. IBM wants to avoid that problem.
EA is hardly the only company with horrible work conditions. Was it Sierra that got nailed for foprcing employees to falsify their time sheets so they don't get paid overtime?
Might want to try Mario Galaxy, the rating average for that is 2nd best game ever (or best if you consider that OOT has only 30 reviews listed and back when it had 30 SMG was rated higher than OOT).
Supposedly the rule of thumb in the movie industry is that the demand for more special effects grows at the same rate as the prices for existing tech go down so the prices remain stable.
Increasing production beyond the current point would require setting up new assembly lines. That's a big investment, especially if you have to worry about sales going down soon (the Wii is already being made at the highest rate a console was made at, going further is risky).
If we were basing our judgments based upon actual harm done, we would be trying very hard to get alcohol off the market and make distributors pay huge fines. Even if we ignore the much larger toll on the people drinking excessively, the harm done to other people by alcohol still beats tobacoo in terms of societal damage.
That was attempted. Didn't really work. Alcohol is a big part of our current culture.
Sparta fell because they made citizenship bound to blood relation, after they lost most of their army (which was most of their healthy young males) they had no way to up their population again.
BTW, Spartan democracy was 1 year terms, no reelection, if you disappoint your voters expect them to come and hurt you. Still sounds like a better deal than the current US system.
that violence keeps people doing what they are told, even when it may not be to their benefit.
Stealing, raping, murdering opposition, etc are all to their own benefit. At some point personal benefit always gets outweighted by the benefit to others.
Yeah but you try getting Intel and NVidia to let you emulate their chips. I mean, if they wanted to they could even give you their original simulation code to work from but they probably have zero interest in that. Sure, they could give you the specs but there's a good chance those games ran outside of spec and exploited behaviour that wasn't even intended.
Also there's a silly amount of web applications meant for the Wii. No idea why but I guess if you want a web frontend for your PC's music player on your TV you can have that.

That's why serious reviewers like the consumer reports things buy their test samples at retail instead of requesting them from the company.
Yes but then you find that some games are really better than the others you marked as "good" but not quite "great" yet.
Most reviews aren't afraid of calling a terrible game terrible. You just have to keep in mind that terrible is a good bit worse than 7/10.

Meh, I'm too busy playing videogames to bother with downloading music anyway.
It's a way of saying "we are not happy with the current performance of your system and are thinking about migrating to another to increase profits".
Don't forget that Wii Sports has substantial sales in Japan and is sold separately from the Wii there.
Also if stengths are inequal the strongest will become the de-facto leaders of their area and thus a new government forms.

Yeah and 9/11 was almost as bad as the holocaust...

Who is "they"? Square-Enix doesn't have a console.

The PS3 had enough time to build some stock up before then, the Wii has basically zero stock between shipments in areas where it's selling out.
Pretty close to zero is good, some (all?) importers didn't offer PS3s out of fear of a lawsuit DDoS like Sony did to Lik-Sang.
I thought it's per work, independent of the number of copies made which is why numbers like that are even used?
