Every single comment I read from you has the same conclusion. Something bit ya? Ya keep hanging on a forum of some company to troll around and keep on insisting it's products are crap? I mean.. what the heck? Haven't you got more pleasant things to do? Sheeesh! I guess you feel wronged for paying the money? But if so - then I'd question the habit of purchasing a game without being sure you will be satisfied. I mean - no one forced ya to play or buy the game.

Since you ask, an honest answer. Tchetchenya, 'Kursk', Nord-Ost or even the latest restructuring of the former KGB (FSB?) - made and still makes me wonder. Or Yukos - don't know if I spell it right - this big company whose CEO was arrested lately. I still have the feeling, that Russian politics is commie-style or post-commie style in its approach, even though Putin rules. That's just facade. Behind it, it is still about military approach to politics, expansionism, no responsibility for your actions, oligarchy. Russian soldiers lead ethnic cleaning operations, contrary to what your government says, and those who voice against your government are silenced one way or the other. Tchetchens might be terrorists (I'd argue), but it was Russia who invaded, and started the mess. Some claim you are killing a nation there, and levelling towns to rubble, not 'fighting terrorists'. But there are nice sides to Russia too. There are beautiful places there, beautiful people too and true people and honest. They have great achievements in math, physics, etc, etc - in spite of poverty. And folks who think Putin is okay are blind, in my not so humble opinion.

If I understand well, the lay-offs were/are a result of financial problems. If the latest Star Wars movies are to be an example of the new LucasArts corporate ideas, then perhaps old school Star Wars adorers are turning away from the genre? And the young ones, who like new Star Wars, aren't loyal enough to like Star Wars more than Doom 3, etc? As a fan of the older Star Wars series, I enjoyed KoTOR a lot. It had humor, and plenty of nice winks to the older fans. That was the sole thing which woke up the genre for me. I do not trust LucasArts to notice the difference however.
