I think I'd avoid naming a conflict based (ok PvE but still) LTQ after a terrorist organization. Hama's/Hamas. Someone didn't do their homework or they don't care or there's a hidden agenda. Maybe Gree just employs too many newly graduated from high school or 3rd world staff that don't understand world politics or english? Nice job Gree!

Fair point. Although Gree naming an event after a wildly incompetent governing body that maintains power due to a loyal base might not quite be as accidental as it seems. Perhaps they're developing self-awareness?

Why? Are you worried about hurting their feelings? Considering its a coincidence and you're the first person in weeks to mention it, I don't think anyone cares.

First and ibtl.

Edit: argh! Zeemered!

I've already contacted my local metallurgist to begin work on my crown. :D

just saying... Hamas? at the very least it shows a lack of knowledge of world politics. As a corporation I'd avoid any connection with the real world, least of all a connection with the terrorist arm of the PLO :)

Hahahahahahahahahaha. Oh man, sometimes I forget. It's actually quite scarey too when I stop and think about it. *sigh.
But wasn't that last episode of American Idol soooo awesome!?! And I can believe that ending to Dexter!! OMG!

Edit: what he said above this post, hahahahaha (shows a lack of knowledge of world politics) hahahahahaha

Worst troll attempt ever. Fail! Lurk Dipstik's posts for a while before you try that again, he's the god.

If you're going to condemn a lack of knowledge of world politics, try not display it whilst doing so.

The PLO and Hamas are completely separate entities. Rivals, in fact. Hamas' political arm grew out of its militant arm. The PLO's political arm is FATAH.

Gree games are full of references to stuff. Some of them will offend a small population, as someone said in my thread, if you don't like it don't play.

I'm lumping an entire area of the world together. I may as well have said that Republicans are the conservative arm of the Democratic party. Point is, "Hama's" couldn't possibly be a coincidence, and if it is, I'd have thought an international company would employ someone to avoid even the perception of political bias. He could be named "Jama" and BAM! no connection to a terrorist organisation.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt here and assuming you understand what the heck I'm talking about... why is it a problem that no one cares? Please explain why anyone (even hamas sympathizers) should care about this?

They shouldn't. But OP is teh stupidz, so good luck convincing him otherwise.

I worked for a government department once. They employed an company to produce a large IT system. This company decided to call it Shoah, a name Jews often give to the Holocaust. Took someone from us to point this out to the cretins (it wasn't Gree btw).

Wow. Hama as a name is understandable. Shoah quite simply can't be random.

Also, if anyone wants to be horribly depressed for 7 hours while watching an expertly created film, Shoah is an excellent choice.

Maybe it was just stuck in the back of some idiot's head and they thought it would be a good name. Can't believe it took so long for anyone to realise what it meant though.

The "Gacys Gloves" should be more offensive. Naming prizes after child molsters is something I didn't understand

If we go down that route then there are endless potentially offensive names. Including at least half the explosives.

Who you calling fatah, you hamas.

If you gotta red flag everything for cultural or political sensitivity, you are problem guilty of intolerance yourself. Go watch some family guy and south park.
