Unforgivable
Gamers far and wide, read this article. Soak it up.
...
How can we let something like this happen? It's just not right. Gaming is something I love pretty much more than anything else in this world. That's why it pains me esecially that the people who create what I love are being punished to this extent. It's disgusting. It's unforgivable.
You know, for some reason I never thought the corporate machine would invade the gaming industry. I don't know why, naivity maybe. I just couldn't imagine an industry comprised of people who liked to hang out with friends and make cool shit like that could be governed by something so evil. How this corporate shit leaks into everything, I don't know, but I'm sick of hearing about it. Something has to be done, big or small. Personally, I'm not going to buy anything from EA anymore. I know that it may seem lame to want to boycott something when everyone in the industry is probably evil at this point. But that bottom line here is that I know about this and this is the best I can do. I hope anyone else who reads that link does the same.
