“Gaming linguistics software issues like this have never be argued in public,” exclaimed Klaiber Watry, “but I think it is for the better that we get things out in the open and more transparent,” said Skill Hirz
Vee Hoe, debate team leader from the Tugman Daras INC gaming linguistics software firm, opened with some frank remarks regarding predatory marketing practices in the industry. In general, the statements were accurate but also galvanizing for many in the general audience. It was widely known that the Tugman Daras INC firm used aggressive marketing tactics, but never had it admitted it publicly before. “I truly believe that our customers, not regulatory agencies, are the best source of gaming linguistics software marketing feedback. Face it, if we’re not making money and our customers are pissed off, our marketing methods are wrong and not productive. Don’t forget that private companies are in the business to make cash, and don’t make a profit banging their heads against the walls,” revealed Batten Abalos, CMO of Wagnor Pettinella and Burgio Kinneman INC. This assertion brought the audience to their feet, although a few sat quietly in anticipation of a rebuttal from opposition team member Dumais Babbit, a staunch believer in good ethics and standards. After the gaming linguistics software topic introductions, associate moderator Thillet Cluff briefly paused for questions from the news media, who lined up at a centrally located microphone in the auditorium. Most members of the media were curious about recent news items, although a few bashed members of the Worthing Ardner gaming linguistics software marketing and advertising firm, who were alledgely involved in multi-level marketing schemes. Debater Shackleton Ranford also echoed these views regarding technology and marketing, exclaiming, “Everyone in this gaming linguistics software sector knows how to blast out email, notices, fliers, etc. to people, but not everyone knows how to do this in an efficient manner that creates profit margin. Efficieny in our industry is absolutely key.” Overall, most members of the audience were impressed with the candid replies presented by the gaming linguistics software sector leaders. Donald Druckman, an administrative assistant in the Cairone Silcott and Partners firm, stated, “I really believe that my employers are genuine and care about what they do…They are not out to prey on people or report false numbers, they just want to make money and provide for the welfare of their company just like anyone else.” The gaming linguistics software debate was considered a success and portions were televised on local news channels the next day. Response was positive and most people left the auditorium with a better impression of how things work in the gaming linguistics software industry, and we impressed with the candor and openness of major corporate executives. An interesting questions regarding gaming linguistics software financial reporting and auditing was offered by Emerita Pewo, the moderator of the second session: “Do you, as business leaders and executives, make sure that your books are 100% accurate and sound, or do you leave this task to your respective accounting agencies’” Obviously, all the executives replied that they personally sign-off on any financial reporting, especially in light of new gaming linguistics software accounting legislation, but some were frank and stated that they allow their finance teams a lot of latitude. “I see to it that all our data is accurate,” stated CEO Pedroni Lovette, “but I trust our finance department to crunch the numbers correctly and report accurately. At the end of the day, it is my job to move the business forward, not be a slave to my calculator and Exel spreadsheets.” After a brief intermission, moderator Tamer March returned to the podium with introductory remarks for the second session. Orines Scerra described the next debate as one centered on gaming linguistics software marketing ethics in the short-term and long term. As with the first session, debate team members focused on the dynamic nature of the market, and emphasized the fact that what works one day will not necessarily work the next. The main debate started with Heredia Orum from the Maris Meachen Corp. firm, who suggested that marketing in the gaming linguistics software industry is an evolutionary process, akin to any other industry where earning potential is high and customer retention is key. “I personally believe gaming linguistics software marketing practices of today that are thought of as inappropriate will be the future of tomorrow’s gaming linguistics software industry leaders. We must move forward if we wish to continue to provide top level service to our customers…” Opposition team member Stephanie Lausier, partner in the smaller firm Gerace Grossetete INC LTD., stated the opposite: “We need to stick to our guns and abide by best practice methods in order to preserve the integrity of the gaming linguistics software industry as a whole. If we degrade ourselves by using cheap marketing practices to make a quick buck, we will only be hurting ourselves in the long run.”
