HTC,
I found it both surprising and small that you've posted a disclaimer discouraging political talk within Aces High, something I rarely see but also something that, in this particular country, is a both a right and, to be quite frank, an obligation. We're living in a time in which political ignorance has resulted in a country that is all but broke and is being run by corporate interests almost entirely.
Many of your customers have relatives who either fought in World War II or in military projects still going on as we speak. Just today, we elected a new President who's own speech I would refer you to as a reminder of the freedoms we are obligated and free to practice in the United States of America. Any effort made by HTC to infringe upon those rights is viewed as both anti-American and weak. It's a time of political awareness and opinions and while a game is not the best setting for that kind of thing, it's even worse to see another business attempting to further suppress the liberties and freedoms we, as Americans, have the privilege of living amidst.
Having said that, I realize that Aces High is not a political forum but rather an opportunity to have fun and get away from the stresses of daily life. We're not on completely different pages on this topic as most of what I've ever read players posting, at least concerning politics, is poorly informed if not altogether wrong. I agree on that front. Nonetheless, my issue is HTC's taking the time to attempt to silence talk about the state of our country at a time when we desperately need it. Until I believe that HTC is actually losing money over something as trivial as this, I'm not interested in being greeted as I enter this game by a ridiculous announcement such as this.
Remember that paying customers are not your school kids and also what country you reside in.
