EA fake bans Medal of Honor games in singapore, then asks people to hunt down the people who supposedly did it

Most pathetic pathetic excuse of a threads on the web dont even compare to yours.

Holy balls I'd heard of the first one before but Christ almighty these are some lunatic antics.

Yet, it doesn't justify them.

Yeah, I really think people saying "This is the worse PR Stunt ever!" is severely out of line. Thanks Zellio2009, I didn't ever imagine a post this good coming from you. But it did. :D
Thanks for trying to give people a reality check.

Hmmm ... don't see the part in ANY of those about shutting out paying customers access to their accounts, so no, GoG still wins.

Check back in when WoW claims to be out of business for a week, but will let you grab your alts to transfer to EQ2 ...

If you aren't going to buy GOGs or be nice to the community, you're free to go to whereever else it is you think you're going to find something better.

Also, the speeding ticket one is hilarious. I can't even believe it.

Being one of those whose exact first reaction that was... I can completely agree with you. Never underestimate the stupidity of people... are PR people people?. Anyways, there was, is, and will be people who will do much more stupid things (with PR).

Omg, I found something that takes the cake...
