Evitable Atrocities, or Should I say EA?

So apparently, EA took my last post as a challenge to out-stupid Zynga. And guess what? They ‘beat’ Zynga in the game of stupid company moves. Although this doesn’t effect us Simmers directly, I have a feeling something is headed in our direction…

Point is, what if the already crap Sims 3 website becomes a premium feature? Seriously, what would EA be on? As if anyone wants to spend money on virtual furniture, now w'e’d have to actually pay to talk/argue with Jarsie9, getting threads locked or banned for posting thank you’s and LOLcats. So, is EA one step closer to epic fail? Or is it already in it?
Oh, and here’s some MUST-READ information if you’re against EA.

Basically, start petitioning against EA- to other people. VidKid20 already has some links up; and I already emailed all three of them. But this can’t be a one or two person movement- you should do something too! Email video games news websites, companies, or even just alert other forums, if you can! Stop complaining on the EA forum, and start alerting others about the electronic dictators known as EA.
…Okay, so that was a little too motivational-speech-ish, but the point is EA has had one too many slip ups and second chances, and by now, they should realize their customers have brains, feelings, and most importantly, POWER IN NUMBERS. I remember someone on the Sims 3 Forum once said ‘If nobody buys or even touches Ambitions for the first week it’s out, EA will be trying everything to get their fans back’. Well, let’s see if EA can take a hint!

Oh, and the title refers to how EA could’ve solve this entire mess by appreciating their fans. Hey, EA, better late than never!

  1. If nobody touched Ambitions until July, TS3 would probably be abandoned. D:
    But reviewers would still be giving us the "Fluff phrases" they've been feeding us since March.

  2. True. :(
    Besides, even if all of the players vow to not buy Ambitions for a while, that's not stopping others from buying it.
