Just because some crazy loons express their hatred by sending death threats, doesn’t mean that everybody does. I express my hatred of the big publishing houses by not giving them my money. Saying that I hate a big company doesn’t mean that I think everyone in said company should die in a fire. Quite the opposite, in fact, I’m sure most of them (particularly the poor SOBs working in customer relations/support) are quite lovely people who have the unfortunate luck to be working for a company whose policies I largely disagree with, and I wish them nothing but happiness and love (in a better job, at a better company). But just because there are people working in shitty jobs at said shitty company, doesn’t mean that I have to love the company itself.
And let’s be honest here, people working in customer support at a a publishing company aren’t “Game publishers” any more than people working in the mailroom at a book publishing company are “book publishers,” so it’s pretty disingenuous to equate me saying “I hate game publishers” to saying “I think people working in customer support at game publishing companies are justified in receiving death threats.”
