I think the link Curtis posted shows that the questioning of the marketing may be warrented in this case.
Maybe...
But if someone is going to be posting criticisms of E* one way or another, someone with a vested interest in E* one way or another would have far more credibility than just a notorious hater.
Just pointing out that the same E* critics 'here' are the same E* bashers 'there'. I mean, so much for objectivity if that's the case...
