These corporations treat their call center employees the same as they treat
the competition and the customer. It's a dog eat dog corporate war, and the
American people are the dog food. At the credit card call center I used to
work at, the management always said that the employee is the backbone of our
company, and we responded, "Then quit breaking your back!" They said that
we have to look at the "big picture; the entire window." We pointed out
that a lot of big pictures are, after all, comprised of very small pieces
that make the whole stronger, so how about taking care to retain that
strength by taking good care of those little pieces?"
Tom: As far as USA Games Entertainment goes, thanks for taking care of the
little pieces; the customers. Keeping us up to date on the current
development of your games, keeping contact in a personal way as far as
answering questions, and continuing to work on games that weren't even yours
to begin with.
How's that for a way to get from politics back to gaming? By the way, I
didn't throw that in just to get back on topic. I meant it.

Hi Lori,
Well, if we are really honest about it though companies like Microsoft
and Nuance are out to rip everyone off. The more and more I look
around my country, the United States, I've found myself living in a
corperation owned state were it is a dog eat dog world. Every major
corperation and bank has the attitude it is their God given right to
rip everyone off and not pay for it. When the government handed over a
750 billion dollar bale out plan to Wall Street big wigs like City
Group, Goldman and Sax, Bank of America, and A.I.G. they pretty much
said in effect who our government cares about, and it certainly was
not the working middle class and the average American tax payer. Now,
do we really expect our current president to help stop the curuption
when Obama's number one financial backer was Goldman and Sax, and
some of the very same crooks that got us into this mess do to their
subprime lending crap?
Sigh...I didn't mean to bring politics into this discussion, but I did
want to make the point that companies here in the United States are
pretty cutthroat. They'll cut anyone's throat if it will make them an
extra buck or two. You and I are peons in the eyes of these
corperations. What do they care when their C.E.O. is making a million
bucks a day in some cases. The greed of these crooks makes you want to
scream doesn't it?

I know, we pay them and they still rob us blind! Trying to get help or
answers out of Microsoft or any of these developers is like getting blood
out of a stone! For you gamers, here's a thought for if you're
developing
audio games. A game called Turn the Tables, where one day after a plague
has devistated the land the sighted community awakes to find itself
totally
without sight, so it's then up to the blind to rule the world. <Smile>
