[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 4590721, member: 177"] I don't think has ever been synonymous with that. I honestly think you're asking the wrong question - Is the question when we stopped trusting them, or when we stopped accepting everything they said? If the latter - we never did. Ever. Trust is earned, usually based on past performance. Trust is something that may get me to buy a product with less than average review before purchasing. But, in the past couple decades of gaming, I haven't taken a developer's design [i]just because it came form a developer[/i]. I take their designs because I like them, or think they are good ideas - not out of "trust". I am a free-willed, critically thinking, analytical beast. I can make my own choices. I like it when someone else gives me good ideas that I can work with, but that doesn't mean I have to take everything they choose to feed me. [/QUOTE]
