So let me get this straight. Your overall opinion on games is that regardless of the game devs actual perpenceity in execution and qualityof the said product, its all for nought if that publisher is deemed more or less evil!
You may have had a point if it were the case for instance that EA were involved but here you're exhibiting signs of severe silly.
This is not a TSW EA situation. NCsoft is the owner of Anet, and they producer of GW2. Many of us a hesitant when it comes to Korean companies.
and why does it really matter if it is? if TSW is a good game and people enjoy it who cares if it is funcom and EA?
well it's not Funcom and EA. It's Funcom. GW2 is NCsoft is owned and funded by NCsoft a Korean game maker. Maybe you misunderstood me.
OP can say I hate NCsoft so I wont play GW2. The money goes straight to NCsoft.
Can't compare a company that makes a bad game to a company that is funded by a company that made a bad game. NCsoft has no influence on Arenanets development of the game. Are any of their staff working with arenanet to incorporate ideas to the game? no.
NCsoft owns Anet. Anet wont see a penny until NCsoft gives it to them. It's NCsofts game.
You missed the point. I'm not talking who pays who, I'm talking about NCsoft not making the game. Technically yes they own the game but they have not made it like they made AION.
There is no Anet outside of name. It's NCsoft. They pick, pull and put people where they want like EA did Mythic and Bioware. If you really think NCsoft doesn't sign off on everything "Anet" does, I don't know what to tell you.
My point is that OP is well within his bounds to say "I'm not playing it because I'm not giving NCsoft money."
I'm not sure you are understanding the relationship between a publisher and a designer. This is like hating Stephen King because he is supposedly owned by the company that publishes his work. Fallacious argument is fallacious.

I don't think you could be more wrong. You could try, but you would not be successful.
