EA asks cheese/tip sites to stop offering content

[PP]

So basically a bunch of the cheese ebook sites etc have been told by EA they need to stop. It looks like this is due to Prima (official game guide) now offering online videos and other content similar to this.

I know most of us are sim and despise some of these sites but how do you feel on the basis that EA is trying to shut the door on these people just tryin to make a buck all because they let some shitty company buy the rights to be the official guide?

EA wised up on yet another way to bleed their customers dry while portraying "perks/benefits" in exchange.

I'm looking forward to East Room antics on a Global Scale.

They are going to have a choice. Isn't the US looking to put in laws about posting video game content online?

Wonder who's backpocket EA is in lobbying to get that law passed.

From my understanding is PRIMA who always used to just come out with that 1 book now has online content and breaking down individual playbooks etc. I think they hired two jabronis who were running their own site. So instead of competing, they just squeeze out the competition with cease and desist letters.

100% correct. PRIMA has been putting out shit NCAA/Madden guides for YEARS and I guess now that they're going to put the effort into it, they want to eliminate all their competition so consumers only have one choice.
