Its very easy to say 'yeah thats awesome build it', much harder to actually pony up the dollars at the end, putting your money where your mouth is. And I don't get the bit about trust, again no one is forcing their customers to participate in their crowd sourcing for employee pet projects, they are quite open about what is it, so how is customers trust being taken advantage of? |
Then make the votes MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and let the customers choose to make a DONATION (even though it's still stupid) instead of asking the public to fund the projects ...
With a big corporation like Sony their are lots of consumers who put faith in them and having that faith misplaced can be dangerous to a company's reputation ...
