TY, that is exactly the point. I also think it is not very relevant what we, the users (of the sim/game) think of this issue. There are obviously pros and cons.
What is relevant is what ED thinks, that is, what should and should not be part of its corporate identity.
This thread has pointed out the issue, it is now up to ED to decide how to handle this. They probably will decide for what they think is in their best long term interest.
