It's more fun when you mix it up the other way around. *Pictures an EA exec getting clobbered by Superman* Heh heh heh... good times... good times...Hazy992 said:I'm getting them mixed up with cartoon supervillains again aren't I?
I'll gladly sit back and watch EA unleash the forces of Mordor on Zynga. Sometimes the only thing that can defeat one evil is an even greater evil. I don't really care what EA's motives are but they're correct that having a large company like themselves may be the only way to stamp out Zynga once and for all.
Brothers and sisters we have but one course of action,
and by Kraken I mean EA.

While Im no EA fanboy i find myself, regardless of their motivations, rooting for them. In this instance i think they are doing the right thing whatever their motive.
YEAH! SUE THAt small company.......wow EA, just wow. Oh well, EA proves once again that if you can't beat Valve, sue another company to take away the bad rep.

I loves me a good Holmes reference.
OT: *Reads EA's claims*
PFFFFFFFFT, HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH HAAAAH!!!
Oh, you're serious! LEMME LAUGH LOUDER!!
[HEADING=3]BWA HA HA HA HAAA!!!!![/HEADING]
Okay, okay. Fun is fun, but let's be serious for a moment. EA is just all over the board now. I don't think there's a plan here, if there over was. It's like an indecisive weatherman saying "Oh, let's just see what sticks!". Tell ya what, EA ole' buddy... Keep ignoring Valve and Steam and try suing the pants off of Activision. When, while you two are doddering around, we'll take you by storm. Or should I say...Steam?!
Mwa ha ha ha haaa...
other than the scamming of people [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/96024-Zynga-CEO-Admits-to-Being-a-Scammer], blatant copying of other people's stuff [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115475-Indy-Dev-Calls-Zynga-Out-Over-Plagiarism], and faking reviews of the game [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115847-Zynga-Bumps-Dream-Heights-Review-Score-People-Get-Mad] I guess I wouldn't have to say fuck them but honestly they're dirty dealings irk me and honestly want EA to win so they can finally be out of here (and so can the 20 farmville requests I keep getting)Judgement101 said:
I enjoy some games but honestly I hate the people behind it not like a "OMG BOYCOTT!!!!!1!!" more like a wow what stupid thing to do how come you did that plus ignoring them is hard if I ignore all the evil publishers I'd be left with bethesda, CD projekt, ubisoft, nintendo, and valve and all the indie games and they don't have such a huge set list of games I'm interested inBoudica said:
It's pretty obvious they're not doing it for selfless reasons, they are protecting the value of their IP and hard work. Clearly EA is in the right here, and sure they deserve to parade the "we're not the bad guys here" flag for this, but EA's previous history prevents me to see them as the savior and more as just another corporation suing an even worse corporation for clearly illegal practices.Phlakes said:
Hmm, not sure if I can back EA when they missed such an easy opportunity to quote LotR in an appropriate situation...
Just ignore them both. EA is losing money with this lawsuit and Zynga is losing money by being sued. In the end, they'll both waste one anothers' time and money.
EA whores for the limelight by doing something, anything in order to stay relevant in the news. It just so happens that the person they're attacking isn't the customers.

You mean the company that recently forced me to accept a new TOS giving away some of my rights to take action against them if I feel it necessary. At least, if I want to ever access the thousands of dollars worth of games I have in the STEAM store?FalloutJack said:
Yeah, Valve is such a blessed saint. Can't do anything wrong, can they?
P.S.: I don't hate Valve. I love them. Awesome company, and awesome guys. But the ridiculous nature of fanboys on the internet praising them to high heavens and simultaneously bashing anything EA does is just ridiculous and sometimes gets me to post, even though that's pointless. XD
Hey, you're not well. Sit down, relax, and stop taking the internet so seriously. We all know who does what around here. Needling those guys is just for laughs. Now calm down, stranger, and take a load off or by the end of the week you'll believe in conspiracies from the NHK.NKRevan said:
yeah cause it's games is there anything for me to stand for when it comes to games? they're meant to be fun (until microtransactions get involved to a point of pay to win)Boudica said:
This seems less "Luke fighting Vadar for the good of us all" and more "Count Dooku being killed by Palatine to further his plans." Not all actions have a good and evil side, and not all fights have someone who is worth rooting for.
This... is a news story on EA saying it's defending the gaming industry... EA downright baited this kindof response by the people angry at their business practices. Go ahead and enjoy the games by EA, I know I do, but I understand the people who dislike things they've done.Boudica said:
