EA throws Sony under the bus

Even though they have retraced the statement, it doesn't really look good for EA and how they have handled things

@The_Last_Ride:

Who is this guy? And who cares what EA said and then back tracked on....Gaming journalism is just abysmal at times....

Friendly Ai, Mike Colangelo also known for the 3killabytes channel. Sure they backtracked it, but again EA manages to screw stuff up and blame someone else

Who cares what this guy who apparently hasn't grown past the "hihihi Vigina is fun, so lets repeat it a number of times" stage, think.

But EA didn´t actually throw anyone under the bus, what they did was just protect themselves and blame it on Sony. Which will backfire since everyone hates EA more.

What's the big deal? It is Sony's fault. EA was obviously getting complaints about their games and since most people already hate EA beyond what they deserve, they were trying to nip the blame in the butt. They want gamers to know it isn't their fault but people like the TC will take it the wrong way cause it's so cool to hate EA.

lol EA, continuing to make themselve look bad. Glad I don't buy their games.

I get what they were saying since PSN wasn't running all that great last night.

However, PSN is running smooth as butter now and the only game I'm having issues with is Battlefield 4. Go figure.

It's only been their games that have had problems, and they have their own servers. They blame it on Sony, therefore throwing them under the bus

EA retracked their statement as a mistake. So this whole thread is negated.

It was updated.

They still made the statement and i stated that in the first post dude. Doesn't mean it's a less of a douchebag move

S'Okay rider. I know what you mean. Taking some generic form of ownership would be better than shifting blame. Especially when origin is proving to be a rather system-unfriendly digital distribution system for PS4 and some PCs.

If the Xbone doesn't show any origin server frustration it'll indicate where their current loyalties lie. If it does it'll be another nail in the coffin towards Origin.

These guys sorta seem to want the future of mainstream gaming to be a multi-player casino. As far as their franchises are concerned.

EA is in bed with MS now, not surprising this coming from them.

Wouldn't call it throwing anyone under the bus, because what are people most focused on them or Sony? most i hear who have those problems are blaming EA not Sony.

But it's all semantics and it clearly backfired on EA like always, i think they forget how hated they are sometimes.

I've been playing hella Killzone, and no issues here. Just EA being EA and not wanting to take responsibility. Honestly, Nintendo's better for not having them on their system, and Sony might want to reconsider the partnership.

And to think I wanted to buy Rivals. I'll wait for a secondhand copy now, maybe get Driveclub instead...

Ea has made a stupid image online too bad for them I don't buy their games !

it's crap like this that makes them hated

Yep and their way of taking successful ip´s and destroying them.

I still think that Red Alert/C&C would have become a bigger name than Starcraft if the right dev´s and publishing house had it under their wings.

i totally agree Red Alert 1 & 2 were so awesome
