There was a recent post right here about how one person's calls to limit "hate speech" had to be parody, because people can't actually believe that way.
Then we see the same thing being espoused right here in the comments.
Not to mention how arbitrary their approval process is. I once worked for a company that produced highly-localized apps, all from the same code, just with each locality being its own app. We submitted about 30 and Apple rejected 10, despite them being identical except for the local info...
"At this point, if you haven't been keeping track, the drip-drip-dripping of satire is just so thick that I find it impossible to ignore, but others still aren't convinced. Still, I can't see how anyone could directly claim that a bunch of political parties, including mainstream ones, shouldn't be allowed to exist and that allowing such political parties is somehow an affront to democracy. There's no way a person could think that legitimately."
Sadly, far too many people DO think exactly that. I have encountered them personally. I have known quite a few people who would get behind every one of these proposals all while touting their own tolerance. It's quite frightening.
From some of the comments, it seems some people are saying that you aren't understanding what Tyson intended to say. Even if that is the case, I maintain that he has failed to be clear and precise in his communication. If what he intended to communicate was not what he said, the failure is in his phrasing.
If you want people correctly understand what you say, create statements that cannot be misunderstood...
It would be hilarious to see hundreds of bad reviews of these companies by people who are complaining about their non-disparagement clauses, without having agreed to any such terms!
I'm not a gamer at all, so I don't really know much about it - but if EA produces such poor quality products, why do people keep buying them? It sees to me that if people really didn't like EA as much as I'm hearing, they wouldn't have the revenue to keep buying out other companies.
I probably should have been more clear - that information was an update added to one of the many news articles I was reading about this earlier today. Can't remember exactly where but it should be independently verifiable.

Free speech is dead. People actually DO think like that. See posts above, see Europe, see our own government for evidence.
