EA isn't actually that bad?

[Excon]

Just stumbled upon this and I'm amazed, I would die to have even half of this stuff:

This just goes to show EA isn't full of heartless people that are after every dollar possible.

yes that was quite nice of them. I hate the by the cynicist but I feel like it's mostly PR

[ANUPLUCIFERGAMER]

I'm not sure what to take away from this. PR stunt? no but seriously EA isn't that bad.... Sims City servers though.... D:

i swear some people hate ea for the trend of it, just like how people hate on apple non stop. I know both do some stupid stuff but like cmon 

[EricX2]

Wow, I wonder how many people got those? Couldn't be just the one person.

They done this for someone who had there xbox knocked off by there dog and killed the dead space dvd in it.

They sent a new one with a framed picture of Issac captioned saying "bad dog".

Back in the day I had no problem with them but they lost there sales to me for having to pay full price to get online with a second hand game.

So because they do this one nice thing they aren't bad? EA are still an awful company.

Being nice doesn't mean you're not awful? Gee, you must make a lot of friends with your kind attitude.

Lol wut? It's like someone bullies you for the first few years of school and says one nice thing to you later on. Then suddenly they aren't that bad? Nope.

Your logic is seriously flawed.

Comparing EA to a school bully isn't a very good comparison. For one thing, EA probably didn't purposely try to hurt this person for years, and he got a little more than a compliment. But, let's ignore the silly comparisons and annoying insults for now. I'm not saying EA doesn't have problems, but this gesture that may have happened with many people, is a pretty cool thing. Improvement doesn't happen overnight, so I'd give them a chance instead of shouting STILL AWFUL ENORMOUS ASSHOLE. So, by using your comparison; if the bully suddenly decided to stop bullying and wanted to do something good... and he started this improvement by giving me my pants back, he should get a chance at improving himself and becoming, you know, a proper person! Anyway, that's how I see it. But hey, you might have a very good reason to be calling them Enormous Assholes.

I've never said that this wasn't good or an improvement, but they are still very flawed and in my opinion 'assholes' because of the ridiculous business strategies they have, and in general the little regard they have for customer. This has however been getting better over the years, I can agree that my image was a little over the top lol, but that doesn't change my opinion on the thought that they aren't bad. To be honest pretty much everything you've been saying is right.

Anyway, have a good day.
