FUN FACT: Whenever a developer under EA gets a very good metacritic review they get a rather large Bonus in pay.

EA is going to rain fire upon these assholes.

IN THE LAND OF THE SWINE, THE ONE-EYED PIG IS KING.
Don't even get me started on that piece of shit Dragon Age 2. "Let's take the last traditionalist WRPG and make it an EXTREME STREAMLINED OVER THE TOP HACK N SLASH FANTASY ACTION GAME!" Fuck me.
Fun facts:
- Bioware claimed there would be no DRM aside from an online activator that would remove itself after activation. Shortly after the game came out it was discovered it had invasive Securom DRM that installed itself discreetly. EA recently lost a lawsuit for doing exactly the same thing.
- Bioware claimed the console versions would have an autoattack option. When it was discovered it actually didn't, they said they "forgot to add the file."
- EA banned someone on the Bioware forums for saying Bioware sold their souls to the EA devil. But not only did they ban his forum account, they banned his entire EA account, preventing him from installing his legally purchased game.

Outing of unfunny alts also goes for the rest of the internet, IMO.
Question is, somebody stealing from a computer game company, especially EA, is it funny or not?
I have something to write about this in O:MF later this week.
How is defrauding your shyster boss unfunny?

When you get caught.
Point. That's just depressing.
Dude couldn't even be bothered to hide his trail. Oh well. An example to others...
If your boss is stupid enough to get ripped off, he should be.
If you're stupid enough to get caught doing it, you deserve to be punished.
All the rest is pissing and moaning.
So he got a bonus, big deal... the company also got exposure and advertising. I fail to see how this is a big deal. It would have to be a fairly substantial bonus to get him in trouble, wouldn't it?
