Well, I guess EA can afford high class escorts for the evening.

All they needed to do was promise a hotel room as well. THEN you'd hear bitching.

	Jul Mosts 2008 Originally posted by Fnor And this, ladies and gentlemen, will be why gamers won't be taken seriously in the foreseeable future. People will eat this up. Magazines will wail and gnash their teeth and commenters will complain about stereotypes and sexism, and most gamers will eat it up. I'm not saying that this is necessarily a good or bad thing. Just that this reinforces pretty much everything everyone says about childish video gaming is. So next time you see gaming getting bad press or widespread criticism, don't just reflexively hate the media. Hate EA, and the vast number of gamers that aid, abet, and prove that criticism right. This. Maybe this is a sign of imminent financial ruin for EA, kinda like what happened with Acclaim and BMX XXX. I can only hope! ____________________

Agreed.
Maybe if we're lucky, Activison will kick the bucket next...

If only... Still, seems like something incredibly stupid from EA, I thought they kinda knew things at least about how to sell games, if not make them good.

"Sex Sells" may apply, but it seriously hurts gaming's image as a whole, and lets crazies point and say "I was RIGHT!", you'd think EA would at least have the sense to not do this.
