Then again, you're just being cynical and fail to appreciate what EA is doing for you with this. Whatever that is. | |
I burst out laughing at the last panel. Good work here Shamus! | |
I love that guy. | |
Stolen Pixels fans should check out the deleted scenes over at http://www.shamusyoung.com/twentysidedtale/?p=1981. (Shamus Young has not paid me for this plug, which is something I'm going to have to discuss with him.) | |
Yess, he is so schmarmy! | |
Great work Shamus! Out of interest, who is that EA guy? | |
I know Shamus's secret, but I will never tell ;) | |
The EA guy is a model on a pretty standard stock photo site. I don't know his name or anything. He kind of reminds me of Herb Tarlek, which is icing on the cake. | |
i dont think you have to be cynical to ask yourself for whats that DRM system, just dont be a blind EA fanboy, if something like that exists. | |
Now if only EA would release an EULA regarding what constitutes behavior worthy of revoking a user's games. | |
Just incase something happens buy 2 Red Alert 3's. That made me laugh so hard, great work! | |
Man, EA is to gaming comedians like George Bush is to Political comedians. | |
It's because they care, guys. Just keep telling yourself that and it'll all be good. | |
To be fair, a forum moderator is not exactly a spokescritter for EA. (On the other hand, they're as close as us normal people usually ever get, due to EA's determination to keep developers and customers separated by as large a wall as possible.) Doesn't excuse having this kind of evil ability, though. | |
Ahhh, isn't it adorable how nothing quite boosts online piracy like the threat of advanced copy protection? | |
Wow, that's really horrible. Really. Thankfully I don't play any EA games online, really. But I thought about doing it with C&C 3, and now I really, really don't wish to. | |
It's amusing how, as pointed out, the people least likely to be affected by this are the pirates. | |
haha funny panel, but i think they should only take games from you if you are modding on multiplayer games i dont see a big deal on singleplayer only games. | |
So does Valve since Steam could easily lock you out of your games if Valve so wishes. People don't have it in for Valve though, yet. | |

EA has the power to crush you like a bug, but won't use it. Unless, you know, you deserve it.
