If you don't like pitchforks, don't do things that invite pitchforks. It's really that simple.

    ...well... let's not pretend that the internet mob is completely rational in all its brigading... the pitchforks come out and get pointed in various directions for no good reason quite often...

    I can't really blame anyone working in PR for feeling the need to tread carefully. That said, it's probably time we had some fair trade/labor practice disclosure standards for video games and/or computer software in general.

    That shouldn't be too extreme an idea to be practical - we have such things in other industries already, like clothing and food production.
