Fuchi was a break-up waiting to happen. Once they started fighting eachother instead of fighting for survival, the rest of the megacorporate sharks swallowed them up.

Couldn't agree more. Makes you wonder if anyone was instigating all of the bad blood doesn't it???

Well, I know the Villers managed to shark his way onto the board, and the other two never actually forgave him for it- the instant they took thier shares to other companies, those companies got the same hate-on for Villier that they had.

Don't hate the player, hate the game?

Don't be naieve.

 Any woman telling the truth will admit that they hate the players, game be damned.

Corporations are like women, only not so good at forgetting or forgiving.

What? I'll take the hit, because I earned it... but it's the truth.

Women hate players. Corporations are worse than women when it comes to holding grudges and forgiving. Women are not good at either, corporations are worse.

You know, everyone hate "playas" even the "playas" themselves. Why do you think they are always so loud about it??

Nothing better to do, I guess?


Corporations really aren't like players, because they don't think about pride or honor. It's all about the almighty nuyen.

I don't know, I think the whole 'Don't hate the Player, hate the Game' routine is actually a cover.

ever notice how wall-street does terrible things? almost constantly? Destroying jobs to increase the profitability, investment on margins, the destructive movement of short term capitol... who's accountable for that?
Is it the evil companies? who tells the evil companies what to do? the CEOs? who tells them what to do? Money? where does that mysterious money come from? Investors? ahh... getting closer...
so who are the investors? get rich quick scam artists who want to borrow 1,000Y and turn it into 2,000Y without any effort on their part... but are we aloud to hate them? No! THEY aren't the ones destroying the economy, it's the faceless corperations! Hate the Game! it's the Game that put you out of work and moved your job to a sweat shop in south africa!
but really... the game is made up of players.
I think it's okay to hate the players.
because if there were no players, there would be no game.
