Whats the specific word or phrase when companies release a very general answer or lie to avoid an issue? I hate it when companies do that to save their own asses but I can never find any stories on google because I dont know the keywords. I love hearing their BS answers.

Examples:

Valve just released a statement about no custom mods for the Xbox 360 version of Left 4 Dead 2. Their reasoning for that was the Xbox 360 might not be able to handle the mods that PCs can handle. Obviously, they are not allowing mod support because Microsoft wants to control all DLC content and doesnt want FREE user generated content.

Activision just raised the PC version of COD4:MW2 price to $60. Their reasoning for that is it takes more resources and money to develop a game like Modern Warfare 2 than it does for other games. Obviously they know this game will sell and want to milk the customers for more money.

Twisting the truth? Covering their own asses? Testing out their PR department? Deflection?

hahaha wtf?? I dont get this thread :( But I call it capitalism. Climbing to the top of the pyramid of production and customer satisfaction, no matter what it takes, no matter how brutal the competition becomes :evil:
