EA responds, and then really responds to their award
Blyss:
So initially, this was thrown out there, and was apparently a joke, though given their reputation, some didn't realize that it was. Too funny that people DIDN'T get the joke.
Then they really did reply, and it wasn't a lot better.
These are my favorite bits:
"Many continue to claim the Always-On function in SimCity is a DRM scheme. It’s not. People still want to argue about it. We can’t be any clearer—it’s not. Period."
With no real explanation as to how it's not, why people are wrong, just that they are, period. Damn it. Fuck you guys for questioning us.
"In the past year, we have received thousands of emails and postcards protesting against EA for allowing players to create LGBT characters in our games. This week, we’re seeing posts on conservative web sites urging people to protest our LGBT policy by voting EA the Worst Company in America.
That last one is particularly telling. If that’s what makes us the worst company, bring it on. Because we're not caving on that."
The bad part of that is that there seems to be no basis for it, and they themselves cite no reference for it. It does make them sound pretty good as a company, until you realize that it's probably all a lie, and that makes it a little more sinister in my opinion. Using a topic that you know will be polarizing to make you seem like a good guy, makes you more of a bad guy, as far as I'm concerned.
EA has already gone into the pile with Capcom as companies that will no longer get my money. I wonder how many more people feel that way now?
