    So it's an average Tuesday afternoon. ;)

    Joking aside, this has been hilarious. I think I saw one of those say something about how it's EA is a paragon of justice for gays, and then have "Mike from North Korea" under it.

    EDIT: Oh, it's right there in the picture. Still funny.

    Oh boy. I'll have to watch this closely so that I can snap up some cheap shares.

    I love knee-jerk reactions in the market.

    Related companies:THQ $0.49

    Those guys are still around? I'll admit, I'm tempted to buy some blizzard stock while its cheap before d3 comes out and the propaganda machine for MOP starts up.

    I'm not yet convinced that this votebot is EA's doing.

    Isn't it just as likely to be some retarded, but well meaning, LGBT activist?

    Yeah.. if EA wanted to manipulate this voting they could have done so without using dumb methods like that... and even if it was EA´s doing it would have been the one instance that I would stay behind them and applaud.

    Yes, and they're still making good games. The problem is they bankrupted themselves when they made HD console versions of the uDraw. They expected it to succeed so they overstocked on some expensive hardware and, well...it tanked. Hard.

    And Tony Hawk!

    Blergh, I can't rip on EA as long as they're producing some amazing FIFA games.

    I figured EA would have a crack team of children somewhere in China that they could pay a few cents a day to like their Facebook posts and vote yes on their petitions. I guess bots are even cheaper.
