Umm... You do realise that when a company starts manufacturing in developing countries, it's because the people there are so poor that they'll work for really low wages, right? No company would do that out of charity and pay the workers normal wages, because they'd go bankrupt very, very quickly! N...

Don't confuse them with the facts, dissent. If the information you posted isn't from a politically-correct source like Noam Chomsky or some other America-hating, Marxist-Leninist, it will just go in one ear and out the other.

It's funny how in any discussion of Crysis, comparison of system specs ultimately comes before any mention of its gameplay. Of course, that's okay. I thought Far Cry was annoying hollow too.
