More bullshit from Massive Shithead
Doc Doofus:
I thought about making a Bittorrent hack for The Sims. If your Sim has the cheap PC, he could choose the "Download SimComet 0.57" action, and then he could download all the other games (Sims Bustin' Out, that skiing game, whatever the others are...) for free. It wouldn't just be a fun mod; it would also be a subversive educational tool.
Quote from: Neriana
The people trying to wriggle out of their responsibilities are never the ones you're facing, though. It's the employee who's stuck in the middle, between an irate customer now and an irate boss later.
What Neriana said, in spades. I fully appreciate the therapeutic effects of screaming at innocent third parties, but it's much more therapeutic to scream at guilty parties. Or to flip them the bird in other ways.
It seems to me that
1. If the purpose of their new copy-protection is to protect their software from copying... And
2. It ruins your game... And
3. It doesn't even really protect the game from being copied...
That the solution is to stop giving EA money for the game.
Now, I'm not recommending that. No way, no sir. That would be immoral. Or it would be acting out in an immature manner just to punish a soulless corporation. Such vengeance is not the province of mere mortals, but more properly belongs to God or Karma. Perhaps EA execs will be reincarnated as outhouse corncorbs in their next life. It's their karmic burden, and we should not worry our pretty little heads with the matter.

I don't believe a damn word that comes out of that asshole's mouth. Massive Shithead couldn't care less about the paying customers and is only posting what EA wants him to post.
It would be more dishonest for him to pretend that threads on the BBS have any hope of changing the company's policy. If you don't believe the numbers he's posted, fine, but his advice about the best way to make your dissatisfaction known makes sense to me.
yeah, at least he's being honest in saying "that isn't working, if you really want your point across do it the intelligent way <here>".

Realistically, the sheer volume of public stupidity is such that the only way to change the policy of large, faceless corporations with no individual accountability is to give them individual accountability. With rocket launchers.

This gives me some laughters today... Thanks... :)
That's a great idea, in spades.
