Good on Ben from North Korea for being one of the gay North Koreans with internet access and a SWTOR account.

Maybe he lives with Rudolph.

Mike from North Korea

 

[Oesophagus]

I'm guessing we won't hear from gay Peter from Saudi Arabia anymore...

 

[Whisky]

Wow, EA is so fucking incompetent. "Hey guys, maybe, just maybe we should remove North Korea from our randomized Bot naming program. I think the internet might be banned there or something."

I can't imagine how they've survived so long with such a terrible PR department.

The entire market was bad today, this doesn't have anything to do with what's going on in this thread.

First EA sent their bots to support the petition, then /v/ sent itself.

It's the perfect PR tactic actually.
1) Astroturf, but turf it in a dubious way
2) blame the trolls you manage to attract
3) everyone non-involved sees what they want to see, and you get free "controversy" publicity, where you're a victim.

I applaud the psychology consultant of EA's PR branch

The market was good if you are shorting, or in my case specifically, playing the inverse ETF side of things. Drop baby drop! When I heard the Dow dropped 100+ pts, yet again, I laughed out loud. Speaking of EA, they haven't published anything worth any shit since BF2 era. Everything since then has been consolified wanna-be-like-CoD nonsense. Gone are the days of modable and/or sandboxy shooters. These days cinematics are back in force, reminding me a bit of the FMV rise back in early-mid 1990s. I guess they got to fill all that space on them blu-ray discs with something. Might as well be poorly rendered and laughable "GET TO THE CHOPPAAAAA!!!" juvenile bullshit.

STFU. This isn't the Yuppie Codex
go borking your filthy stocks somewhere else.


Fact is, EA are in the shit and will no doubt toss ballast soon.

And then there's articles like this:
http://www.dailyfinance.com/2012/04/10/how-low-will-ea-go/

TLDR; article says that EA stock will continue falling because there's no reasons for it to do the opposite currently and in any foreseeable future.
