    It would be nice if people just said what they were thinking.

    We wanted to juice our PSN subscriber numbers, so we’re forcing everybody to make a PSN account, so hopefully they spend more money with us in the future

        Who decides what “truth” is? In concept I’m with you but in practice that sounds like a nightmare. See: mainland china

        Governments should be the arbiters of law and recommendations, not the arbiters of truth.

          Alright how about ethics laws. Make knowingly lying or blatant dishonesty a felony.

          I mean it’s mostly just something to say, I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. But there are things that are objectively true, and objectively false. If a company states something that is objectively false, then they should be held accountable. This PSN issue is an area where it becomes subjective, or at least difficult to prove, and then we’re right back where we started.
