Geez! B)
More seriously, though, my general world view is that individual people can be okay, but corpporations... well... they are just corporations. When you get a situation where a group of people have come together and can be thought of as forming a common entity - and this applies not just to corporations but to any social unit - it's really, really easy for that group to have no collective conscience. Perhaps this is a discussion topic for another day, but it shows why I have no problem simultaneously believing that Isolde is here for "noble" purposes, while Blizzard's realm clean-up is an entirely selfish action.
