Pity they haven't made a single decent product in years and can't take criticism.
Here's hoping Yahtzee does something about this and has the last laugh.

It's a joke. To gain advertising. Which you're helping them with.

Hypocrisy, it truly is bliss.
Also like others have said if a game is spending so much time marketing the game without using the game then they are definately hiding something. Though it's EA so there's no point hiding it.
Also it seems they're done ripping off RE4 so are ripping off GoW. I wonder what they;ll rip off next? I'm sure all you ignorant masses won't notice and praise EA for their rip-off's; oblivious to the shite.

It sounds a bit...too much from EA? I mean most game devs and publishers don't overreact this much.

Oh, I can´t wait to see how Yahtzee will destroy any sort of self-respect EA might have hidden away in his next review of one of their games. :D

While EA gets a lot of crap for some of the stunts they perform, this is well thought out. Gotta give credit when it's due, and it's due here.

Jesus, some people around here really get up in arms in defense of Yahtzee don't they.

Seriously, this is the funniest thing I have heard all week. Goes to show even faceless corporations have a sense of humour.

I really didn't find this funny after the part where they tried to close it and IT WOULDN'T SHUT OFF.

It's even worse when they wrote "Go to hell" on the note inside.

Bad publicity, EA. Bad publicity.

First, I don't really care for the game already and I had not interest in playing it. If I was going to play a game, I would probably play Bioshock or Oblivion as I have not played either yet and I bought the duel pack from Walmart. I just don't have time to play as I am going to college. In fact, the only reason I saw this article is because I watch the new Zero Punctuation skit every Wednesday and it was under the hot topic section on that page.
First, if you don't care then don't post. There's no point in posting in a topic if you don't care about the subject in question. If you have no interest in it, then just don't post cause you sure as hell ain't contributing an interesting thought.

Pirating is NOT pointless if you are poor. Yes, its not really socially acceptible to the "elite" groups such as some that roam here. I am refering to those pampered kids who has mommy and daddy to buy them everything and if you have two consoles in general and more than a handful of games, I mean you. However, I do not want to start yet another argument but if someone is going to start one, come back and give me your opinion when you are working and supporting your household before I will ever hear what you will say when it comes to crap like Pirating.
Ha, you haven't got a clue on my views about pirating. I've been doing little bits of it for years (haven't we all?) and I did this because it was the only way I could get games. I've been supporting torrenting sites for years. I was there when TorrentSpy was shut down, I was there to laugh at the people who tried to jail the owners of The Pirate Bay and I'm currently a proud member of IsoHunt. But the part where you suggest I get whatever game I want with the snap of my fingers makes me fuking pissed. You have no idea what I have to do to get games or how often I do, so don't you dare assume you know how my life is! And dont try to serve me the "working and supporting your household" bullshit. What about the people who pump years of effort and money into their company and games, when some people don't contribte to keeping the games alive at all? I am not one of these people as I have my own anti-guilt mechanism; my Xbox 360. At least the ridiculous amount of money I spend on it helps convince me that I'm slowly paying back my debt in the form of crazy amounts of profit.

Second, whos the jackass? Is it me or the other guy, I couldn't understand your writing that much and you were rather unclear. If it was him, eh. If me, read my point above.
Why it's you of course, I'm just enforcing his valid argument :D

Bud the Wise said:
Lastly, PIRATING is not pointless as you play the game for free and although it is wrong and I do not support it, I understand it. THE POINT IS TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME. So, how exactly is it pointless? As I said, I have no interest in the game nor do I have the time to waste getting it in ANY way but seriously, how exactly is it pointless?
You were talking about pirating to spite the company that worked so hard to make that game. Thankfully someone else has already posted a good response to this:

It's like spitting into a river of piss, nobody cares and it's not the worst thing you could do.
Pirating a game cause you want to play it because you think that it's a good game is doing the wrong thing for the right reason. Pirating a game to spite the company that made it is doing the wrong thing for the wrong reason. Sure it may not matter compared to all the other people doing it but it's just morally wrong.

Lastly, go run to mommy and have her pre-order it and Left 4 Dead 2. You may need to cry about it for her to cave to your wants but judging by your holier than thou attitude, its not really beneath you much. At the very least, you could get a new bottle and a diaper change.
Nah. While L4D2 looks awesome (Valve has outdone themselves this time ^_^), I'll be getting Borderlands instead. As for the rest of bullshit you posted, let me just say I'm not going to respond to that because I'm not as inferior as yourself.

Now while you may be asking yourself "why post all this shit cause of one small post?". The answer is easy and maybe too hard for your simple mind to understand, however I will try to elaborate.

"If you post something ridiculously inaccurate, then prepare to have either myself or another one of your superiors challenge you".

P.S. Reply to this if you like, but I don't play games with dickheads. So don't expect a response.
