Title: EA back in court? Post by: jinxer on October 11, 2005, 01:44:29 PM Ok, I haven't seen anyone post on this, so here goes.
It appears that a third class-action is pending against EA, in the state of Florida. The Boston law firm of Shapiro, Haber & Urmy is handling the case, http://www.shulaw.com/documents/complaints/EA%20Florida%20First%20Amended%20Class%20and%20Collective%20Action%20Complaint.pdf (http://www.shulaw.com/documents/complaints/EA%20Florida%20First%20Amended%20Class%20and%20Collective%20Action%20Complaint.pdf) Another 'failing to pay overtime'. Also related to EA, several articles on the rise/strategies/reminiscing of EA. There's one funny story, the others are full of interesting facts and possibly a few rumors for any of you EA fans/haters. http://www.escapistmagazine.com/issue/14/4 If this has been posted elsewhere, please excuse me for being a fucktard and to the den with it.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong (Jain Zar), but I believe he's referring to the way Microsoft has tried to monopolize the industry, not their games. Title: Re: EA back in court?

Also, they sunk money into Mythica and True Fantasy Online and are working on another MMOG as we speak. Their entire gaming division is ok in my book and I wouldn't even mind them controlling the flow of sports games. Also the Windows Media Center capabilities and ipod control on the 360 is luv.

Yes. Though Microsoft's soul crushing corporate evil tends to be towards technology in general, whereas EA's tends to be videogame specific. And Billy G. hasn't raped my adolescence by devouring Maxis and Origin Systems, along with their own soul. (Archon, Wasteland, Bard's Tale, Adventure Construction Set, and about a ton other gaming classics made by geniuses.) Title: Re: EA back in court?

FUCK EA. FUCK THEM IN THEIR STUPID LITTLE ASSES. |
