EA fail at posting fake praise? (In fact EA fanpage)

[VondeVon]

I just saw this on their FB page.

Can't seem to get it to embed. Screenshot here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h5e1eydzjrcijwi/SimsFBScreenshot.JPG

And you can head on over to http://www.facebook.com/SimCity to see it for yourself until they presumably correct it.

oh lord...

you almost feel sorry for them XD

 

[Keoul]

Oh god now this is just embarrassing...

It'll be funny if it wasn't so sad, you'd think a big company like that would actually have regular people supporting them but when they have to make fake accounts and support themselves it's just depressing...

This is brilliant.

I can't wait for their "explanation".

 

[VondeVon]

This is brilliant.

I can't wait for their "explanation".

Considering some people have been complaining of EA deleting their posts, I expect they'll just delete their own and pretend it never happened.

That is my favourite thing today.

 

[Zeh Don]

Oh internet, please don't ever change

 

[TheRaider]

that is my fb simcity fanboy account! lol

 

[Xukog]

Well,that was so stupid I for once physically facepalmed.... Thanks for the laugh

*Edit* Oh it's a fan page, well nevermind then.

Edited my post now that it's been made clear that "Sim City UK" is apparently in no way affiliated with EA and is a Fan Page... OP should edit the post IMHO.

At the simcity uk page:
"Please note we are not an official SimCity page so please don't abuse us about in game problems!"

In all fairness - and I say this as a staunch anti-EA campaigner who refused to buy SimCity - this isn't actually as stupid as it looks. If you follow through to SimCity UK, you'll see it has nothing to do with EA.

It's just a page for UK fans of SimCity, posting its opinion on the game. Nothing to see here, as much as I would adore the opposite.

Don't worry, though, there's plenty of other stuff to laugh at about the terrible SimCity failures.

EDIT : To clarify, the screenshot is legit, and you can find that post, it's just not an EA fake post. Probably should edit the OP.

So basically it is a fan of simcity and not EA's account

 

[Zeh Don]

Yeah, that's pretty misleading. They should step on that.

Uh oh, another bashing EA thread which further research has proven to be baseless. Man, these happen a lot lately.

 

[VanQ]

Luckily the keyboard I just spat coke all over laughing is the keyboard at work and not my one at home.

 

[WoW Killer]

Because anything that casts a poor light on teh evilz company must immediately be true.

 

[VondeVon]

Uh oh, another bashing EA thread which further research has proven to be baseless. Man, these happen a lot lately.

So, why did the OP not at least look the page up that wrote that?

What bashing? I saw something that amused me and I passed it on. See the question mark in the subject line? I dunno about you, but to me that indicates 'possibility' rather than 'I hunted this down and OMG it is totally legit!'

Relaaax.

Cheers to those guys who followed the thread and found out it was a fansite, though. *thumbs up* I'm impressed at the digging (through newer comments) you probably had to do.

*Edit* Oh it's a fan page, well nevermind then.

That's the second time in two days a thread about "Lol EA" has turned out to be false. First there was the "banning for asking for refunds" and now this.

It would have been hilarious if it was real though.
