Re: Censorship is the Language of the Intellectual Bankrupt

Well, EA is their own company, and like someones store or house, they can make whatever rule they want. The issue i feel is "credibilty". They may reserve the right, but that doesn't mean they're not full of it. I've been posting here almost literally just a few weeks,and i suppose folks could look at the nature of my posts.

Low and behold, i received a "warning' from an EA Employee in my email. It goes on to say, i was issued a" warning" because, i called a you tuber a "bonehead"? Literally, but then went on to explain why (it was in regards to  the omission of Campaigns in the latest game). Really? The post then taken down. One that was voted up a few times as well.

They went on to say, that he was a "member of the community', and the remark uncalled for. Well, he's a you tuber, and a public figure. Why wouldn't they be subject to criticism, as if i as a member of this community, or a politician,or business owner, or even an employee in one of their stores would be subject to being called a "bonehead".. That's just how it is.

Then, there's this....

That was some years ago, and i hope we're past all that, but to coddle people for reasons that make no practical sense, particularly when they put their opinions out there to the milliions, makes me question the "credibility", not the right for EA to do it.

    @dogred Absolutely. Credibility is a different, but related point… and EA DICE have been trying (I think so at least) to restore some of their integrity.

    I think that remaining silent on many issues is their chosen approach, and while that is effective, it would be nice if they could be more interactive and forthcoming about issues that we clearly care about and want to know more.
