I have no idea how much cultural issues played into the decision to cut off CoH because I have no idea how large a hand Korean management took in the decision. But it certainly can't hurt to know these things.
I do find it troubling that we already have characterizations of people as "evil" in a thread about the nature of harmony, though.
Whether or not these "business people" are evil, business mentality drives humans to do evil things. Business decisions by their very nature are meant to be heartless. Anyone making such decisions, is able to just ignore the human aspect and tell themselves that they are actually thinking morally.
Modern capitalism, has told us that our main goal in life is to hoard money and material possessions; the polar opposite of everything philosophy has been saying for thousands of years. To use the word "evil" when discussing such matters, really isn't far off. The individuals themselves may not be evil, but you could easily use the metaphor that they have been 'possessed by the devil', and if that 'devil' did not exist, the world might be radically different.
Even the catchphrase that everyone uses to dismiss these evil acts, "It's just business", screams how hard people have worked in order to give 'business' carte blanche. Just imagine if every time America slaughtered a bunch of civilians overseas, the President was able to call a press conference and say, "It's just war." Just think about that for a moment. Business likes to tell itself that it is somehow better than war. Yet both of them destroy lives. Business kills, maims, causes poverty, homelessness, starvation, etc. All of these things are also negative aspects of war. Business isn't, and in many cases, decisions that result in such destruction, is even called GOOD business.
The pen is mightier than the sword? Perhaps. But only for one reason, that it has the world fooled into thinking that it isn't doing the same job. At least the sword is honest.
Evil indeed.
