[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 7676142, member: 177"] And that's what I'm calling B.S. Corporations go through restructurings *ALL THE TIME*. It is a common (and, in fact healthy) thing to do on occasion. It is standard maintenance on an organization - the corporate equivalent of tidying up your living room. Yes, it means some things get tossed out, but it also means you may realize you can make a bit more space and get a cool new end table. If you *don't* do it, your room eventually becomes unusable. There is nothing "ominous" about it. At least, not unless you presuppose that you are about to lose something important during the activity. For people working there, yes, it can be ominous - but reorgs are generally about making the company do what it is already doing, but do it better and more efficiently. For the consumer, the reorg usually means *NOTHING*. The products you buy still get produced. In the vast majority of cases, we don't give a second thought to the corporate organization behind what you are buying, and don't give a hoot if the company reorganizes. So, having concern about *this* one seems a bit odd. I mean, it isn't as if we have meaningful business information that can give us any ability to accurately interpret the move - or even the expertise to do so if we did have the balance sheets. Buying the game does not make us experts on the business. What is not constructive is buying into the "fear and cynicism first" form of interpretation of business news. [/QUOTE]
