Actually his account was not terminated. he was banned fore 3 days, which was later revoked and removed from his customer record.

The person untimately responsible for the banning also made a lengthy public apology.  they made the mistake and apologized--in front of the entire community.

This WW2 flight sim does not Ban mention of other products.  

He was banned because of a certain lack of clarity regarding the conduct code among the in-game staff. Currently that game is going through some major changes in ownership and is, as a result, experiencing a certain amount of trouble (as is inevitable with change). That issue, I am sure, is being addressed.

It was solely a mistake on the part of the staff, which has been apologized for.  They were wrong, and they admitted it without mincing words.  THAT is the true way to tell wiether a company actually cares (something which "Brand W" notably seems to lack).

While I am not sure how to feel about a company banning someone for discussing a competitor's flight sim online, I do think it is in extremely bad taste to discuss other sims online while flying another.

I think a lot of people forget that while for us these are "games", for the people who sweat blood to produce them, these are their lives and source of livelihood.

To go online in any sim or game and talk up another is just lame and the height of bad manners.
