Re: CA business practice discussion thread
The moderation policy of the official forums is perfectly reasonable. The reason for their existence is to be a platform from where CA should develop her marketing strategies, not a place of debate for brainstorming or criticizing. That is why the ranting threads are moved from the general discussions, not because CA doesn't want to "face the truth", but because the only information accessible to members and most importantly for guests (due to their much larger number) should essentially be praising of their products and encouraging to buy them. Official forums are ideal for a heads-up, not for a discussion over the merits of the games.
