Sure, it's the same here in Japan.

It does not change the fact MoGo was developped by the programmers.
And the fact the programmers spent many resources, like the people
fighting at Beijing right now, to develop MoGo.

(Really the same?)

Don't you think it cannot be changed or, at least, improved?
