Square Enix wants you to forget that the stalking issue still isn't fixed

This is just another example of the era that we are living in. Companies would rather ban victims of this behaviour or ignore them then deal with the issue at hand because they know people have no quality standards anymore and will keep paying or just ignore the issue until it happens to them.

Corporations are allowed to get away with too much in this era, we are at real risk of the "System Shock" portrayal of the future or even "Shinra Electric Power Company" as seen in Final Fantasy 7 where corporations own everything and act as defacto governments. They are allowed to give you so much less now for even more inflated prices and they know they can get away with it. This isn't just a gaming industry problem but a problem of globalisation as a whole.

I was actually thinking about this the other day, I didn't realise how much I've been conditioned by gaming to distrust big corporations. Umbrella, Trioptimum and Shinra pretty much convinced me that corporations are inherently evil and can never be trusted to behave responsibly or treat their customers with respect or care. But based on the way Blizzard, Riot and a few others have behaved, it seems I was right to not trust them.
