Great to see the big compaines helping out. Though from what I heard they aren't donating that much money. They are donating money plus supplies that equal that amount 


you should read the OP. It clearly says 300 mil Yen PLUS equipment

Good God. These companies are donating huge sums of money to help people in need, yet some people just have to put a negative spin on it...

Who cares about intentions or which company donated the most. Why not just be happy about them donating anything at all!? It's not like they are forced to do it.

It's sad to see how strong the fanboyism are, even in a moment like this.


Some people have lost the plot here.

That's not all they've lost or maybe never had.



Anyone can guess. It takes no effort to throw out lots of predictions and have some of them be correct. You are not and wiser or better for having your guesses be right. Even a blind man can hit the bullseye.

You can all hate on or talk up any side you want.  The bottom line is that there are NO totally unselfish actions, ever.

Even if you ostensivly get nothing from doing good, you have the feelings of gladness that you have from doing the good deed.  Please don't say that you never feel happy or proud when you do something good for something/someone without expecting reward, because you are lying.  The best you can hope for is not to seem like a smug, self-righteous idiot.

Basic human nature.

 


I've seen that logic before and it's the most idiotic ever. Unless you gain something material from it, it ain't selfish. There's a clear cut difference between a million dollars and the warm glowing feeling in your heart and you're just being cynical if you refuse to acknowledge it.

Not that I disagree with what you were initially saying. It's rather disappointing that Sony gets more praise for suing a hacker for a million bucks than it does for making a charitable donation.

Regardless of random ulterior motives, good job, Sony.

Well, the truth hurts.  The bottom line here is that any good deed brings some benefit to the giver - even if it is intangible.  The sooner everyone realizes this, then the sooner people can stop trying to belittle one source's contributions and glorify another.

Let me put it another way... Sony gets good PR from this, so does Nintendo and MS.  Good for them.  BUT it the contributions were needed, so what difference does it make.  Plus, these are sizable amounts of money for any corporation.  What frustrates me are the people who bash one contributer (in this thread it happens to be Gates and co.) as being disingenuous while failing to realize that (at some level) every donator has considered the potential positive ramifications of donation.

This does NOT mean that the PRIMARY reason for donating is for good PR, but (come on) someone in the chain of command thought of it.  In the end, who cares why?  It was needed, it happened, case closed.  Move along!



Good on sony and all the other companies donating. If i had money i would donate it. Just wondering, when things like this happen dont you just want to go there and actually help instead of maybe donating a couple o quid (english speak for the americans out there) i always feel like this do you?



Wait... does this mean im not human?
