 Are you actually implying that EA defends all of their games by calling people homophobic? I mean I hate all of the social justice on these boards as much as the next guy but I think you may actually be autistic.

I think he's referring to Peter Moore's recent blog post defending EA against them likely winning the Consumerist's poll for Worst Company in America for the second year in a row. Moore basically tries to shift blame and lumps in people that have issues with SimCity, microtransactions and Origin with homophobic bigots. classy.

The Consumerist has a nice rebuttal to Moore's post actually.

This is why, in general EA should just stop these blogs and articles, because this is the kind of attitude, dismissive responses, and willful desire distort facts that lands them in the PR **** every single time. Suprised that your company was voted worst in America Mr. More, the blog is the epitome of why EA has becomes so maligned in the gaming industry.

The biggest problem i have with drm besides always online wich is a instant NOBUY!
Is keeping track of my DVDs. I work as a chef and moves around the country so my stuff is gooing up and down in boxes. So when i try to reinstall a game and have to put in a stupid code wich i cant find or put in dvd #3 wich i cant find i dont spend hours after hour looking for the right box i download it!
The only drm i have nothing against is the one used by good old games. if DA3 uses anykind of DRM its a nobuy, EA got A LOT to prove before i even consider buying one of theire games again. The horror that was SW:ToR was the last straw for me. Unless EA can prove that they actually listen to theire customers they dont deserve my money even if they unfourtunly owns Bioware. And finally if a small polish can sell a game in the millions without DRM imagen what an worldfamous American company could do.

This. Crap.  Stops.  NOW!

If I see one more misrepresnetation of Moore's comments as shifting blame - specifically that he is lumping anyone with "homosexual bigots," I will start handing out bans and it is not going to be pretty.

Directly from Moore's post:

"Some of these complaints are 100 percent legitimate" is a direct admission that EA has made epic mistakes and needs to do better, and Moore is not shifting blame.  Moore is saying EA needs to do a better job with these people.  Speaking on behalf of myself, these people speaking up as EA being the worst company is their own prerogative.  If they feel that's an effective way to communicate their message, fine.

The Consumerist response is only a "nice rebuttal" if you have zero interest in critically looking at it, I can see just by looking at the headline that is is looking to illicit a reaction.  Moore isn't dismissing "winning" as just a bunch of people pissy about Madden and a bunch of homophobes.

Moore makes comment that anyone voting for this poll for the reasons he listed are going to find themselves disappointed.  And yes, there are online pushes from people to vote for EA as the worst company in America because of EA's stance on homosexuality.  I don't care to go around looking for tons of examples like this (scroll down to the bottom) if you need some sort of validation to stop saying stupid **** because it's in vogue to hate on Electronic Arts so we might as well spread some misinformation to become a rabble rouser.  It's unacceptable and it stops now.

Since I'm in a pissy mood now this thread dies too.

So whoever dares challenge the concept of that deserves a good ignore? Good to know things haven't changed in the BSN at all. Mods being ignorant as ever. "Confrontation? In my BSN? This didn't happen, no no no."

Carefully waiting for the banhammer again, as that seems to be the trend these days. Speak out loudly or strong against something? Not on our glorious bioware forums! Everyone must get along at all times, everytime! Now let's all hold hands and sing something nice while we smoke on the native american peace pipe.

And so people know, yes, he has been banned. And yes, it's because of personal attacks. If you're going to act like a child, I don't want you here. If you're going to rabble rouse that EA just calls people homophobes and derail the thread, then I don't want you hear. So yes, banned.
