To the contrary - if Cory had not raised this question and this long thread not ensued with the considerable thought and debate put into it, I'm not sure if the GDC would know there was a problem that needed fixing. FIRST has a live and direct feedback system through Chief Delphi that many companies could only dream of having. Without the panic threads such as these, it may not be clear to the GDC that the general public has an issue with what's going on.
