not at all... I think Rex did a great job postin these articles
I have been watching this conversation quite closely, wondering what people would be bringing the negative attitude to the front. It's actually been fairly polite, considering the nature of the articles.
Most people don't realize what news is. News is PR. Be it good or bad, news is PR.
'There were 10 homicides this week' = bad PR for the police
'There were no homicides this month' = good pr for the police
Watch your nightly news, you will see lots of good and bad PR.
I personally think it's a great thing for Mindark to get more notice. Since so many people like to compare EU to a casino, I will make a poker example. In Texas holdem, there's only 1 winner, everyone else loses. But, still, ESPN shows all the poker tourneys, and everyone wants to play poker to win the big bucks. When they say 'Jim Bob earned 5 million dollars playing poker this year', no ones says 'yeah, and everyone else lost 5 mil'.
So, for those that wish to talk shit about Mindarks press releases, coverage that Mindark gets in the press, or anything else that makes Mindark look like the best thing since sliced bread, I say please, don't bring your negativity to a public forum. Go complain on the poker forums about all the press poker gets, you may have more sympathisers there.
I had more to say, but it'll start going into publicity of governmental figureheads, and I imagine that conversation would be out of bounds for this forum...
