It's so nice to see that feminism and morality have succeeded in removing this kind of behaviour from workplaces around the world.

EA may be pushing a few boundries in decency here but i dont think we should let it reflect on the game itself

Just wow. Hmmm. It's like that episode of the Simpsons where Lisa becomes cool, so Bart tries to be a goody two-shoes, but just cannot do it right. The more evil Activision becomes the more EA tries to do good. Either way, it keeps them in the spotlight.

This latest booth babe stunt seems pretty logical when you consider EA's new CEO:

this is just another stupid marketing ploy. Scratch that, this is a base jump of the cliff of sanity conveniently located above the gorge of lost respect (for this game T_T)

Dinner and a SINful night with two hot girls, a limo service, paparazzi and a chest full of booty.
Although incredibly wrong on so many levels, EA just scored a few cool points.

"Sex."

Am I the only one who thinks it's pathetic that sex can be used to easily persuade us?

We have had our problems in the past, and sometimes you still annoy me.
But by giving people the opportunity to spend a night with 2 booth babes (escorts), in the back of a limo, with alcohol and low inhibitions is just amazing.

I wish I was at Comic-con, I'd charm my way through the booth babes and get myself some free stuff. I can honestly think of no better way to spend a day.
Apparently yes for some people.

Why does everyone keep referring to these girls as whores or hookers. They are models, I am pretty sure you are all reading into the sinful night a bit too much, total prize value of $595, take away your copy of the game and the voucher, doesn't leave much over.. you are just getting dinner with the company of two models, nothing more.
Thankyou. Even still, making the girls do this is still so... ugh!

Knowing them, the prize will be monumentally overhyped:

Advertised: "Dinner and a SINful night with two hot girls, a limo service, paparazzi and a chest full of booty."

Reality: KFC with 2 fat chicks, the limo Jeremy Clarkson made out of a Fiat Panda, one bored guy with a disposable camera, and a box of all the stuff they couldn't give away at Comic-Con.
leave out the fat chicks and that'd be a good time!

Don't judge me, your the one that seems disgusted by the fact that these girls are ESCORTS, and that their job is to ESCORT people, which is what EA will pay them to do so that they can ESCORT the winner.

I have no problem with escorts, nor do I with prostitution if it is by choice and they enjoy their work. That does not change the fact that hooker and whore are derogatory comments and people are reading too far into the sinful night part of this contest.
I'm not saying its a bad prize or anything, a nice meal with friendly attractive company and some nice goodies to boot, but it is very obvious the choice of words is to hype the game and create controversy, a fast spreading type of advertisement, that is all.

I wonder if commiting sins that were rated higher on Dante's 'badass scale' gets you better prizes? I mean lust only gets you to level two, what if you were to say, seduce the 'models', then carved up their flesh and eat it? thats at least a level 8.

They've started giving away hookers for gods sake.
And isn't that the nicest gift of all. Screw you Santa

Now they just need to give away free pudding, and I may forgive them for the shitstorm that was CNC 3.
Even then, they still have to make up for making RA3 and canning Tiberium.
