    If I was an international company...

    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.

    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

    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.

    Ouch, you got me. 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.

    There's your problem.

    Also, no one cares.
