EA to PSP Fight Night players: Pay us or we'll spam you
If this were a job where I had to show up at an office I would
imagine working at a desk where a pretty woman hands up news updates
for me to comment on in a post. I would look at this dispatches from
the internet, and then sigh, because like Uwe Boll or Jack Thompson,
certain names or companies are going to consistently come up and do
something stupid.
Hello EA, this post is about you.
It appears you have a choice when you try to play Fight Night Round 3
online through your PSP. You either cough up some money, US$2 in fact,
or give them your email and address. Not a good choice, even though
most of us can make up an email address and mailing address. The whole
thing is fairly ominous though. EA is basically saying "Pay us or we'll
spam you."
Of course, they'll realize quickly that we're faking
them with bullshit information. When that happens expect them to start
emailing codes to you that are required to play online. Fun, huh?
Oh
EA, how will you screw gamers next? I'm looking forward to going to the
store to pick up next year's Madden and having an EA employee punch me
in the face before I go.
