So why did you give an opinion?  A word of advice to all.  The best way
to keep a non-topic discussion from getting out of hand is not to state
"I
don't want this to happen" and THEN give an opinion.  Just say "I don't
want this to happen" and then stop right there.  You can't get people to
lay down their swords by saying "let us be friends" and then giving them
a
swift hit to the jaw. I'm just a bit tired of the "my country makes
better
games than your country" thing that is finally fizzling out, let us not
start another economic/societal discussion - and leave it at that.
