I know - I really didn't realise making Pachinko machines was a viable business, but I feel after all the business with Silent Hills and Kojima, that they still need their fair share of disapproval.

As for EA - Yeah, "a bit less awful", but I think SimCity showed that they really haven't changed too much, especially now we've seen what Colossal Order have done with Cities:Skylines
