[PS3] PS3 hacked yet again, with PSN access

That's a crock of shit dude.

Reviewers make money of ads from the same companies they review, this has been a problem for years because it simply doesn't happen.


Look how much bullshit Madden had out of the box. No reviewer worth his salt touched on any of it. The Game Changers were bound by an NDA to stfu or be sued.

You had to pay to find out. No choice.



Sure, you could have waited a month for the users to find out it all and post it, but even then details oft go missed. Furthermore, an annual sports title has a 12 month shelf life, you wait a month and you're $60 doesn't go as far. The nature of the cycle.

There are exceptions to every rule, as there are companies that are prone to that kind of bullshit consistently, like EA.

And EA owns an entire genre more or less.

Regardless, you just agreed that it exists.


Lets not forget KZ2 and it's pre-rendered trailers, games like FFXII where we were told they'd be the same on both consoles (lol) and the infamous Peter Molyneux and his Fable 1 promise of allowing you to have kids in game (which you couldn't).


Not just EA, but we can throw in their fake Dante Inferno protests, or photshopped NBA Live screens if you want.

Codemasters and GRID2


Surely just EA is the exception doe! :kobe:

You're really going to throw in a pre-rendered trailer at least TWO YEARS before a game released as an example? You can do better than that.

And yeah, on eof the many reasons I'm not a fan of Molyneux. He's so full of shit.

But I still don't see how that gives people carte blanche to steal games? I'll go back to my mower analogy. So if I have a mower for sale and I say it's the best mower ever made and it basically mows your lawn for you, does that mean you think it's ok for someone to steal my mower and try it out first, and in all probability never return it even if it does live up to expectations (ie, never purchase the retail game).

Lying is lying just like stealing is stealing. Have we come full circle yet?


I'm not stating this to justify stealing, I'm asking why only one side of the two committing wrongs is under fire.

Oh, well I agree 100% then. I think the shit that some of these companies do is complete horseshit. I do think it's a bit of a double standard but I also don't think a solution to the problem is to steal the games to "stick it to the man!"

No, I agree. But I do see where many people come from. They get punched in the face, so they punch back.


I personally don't condemn anyone who jacks a game from a company who's jilted them. It's not the right way to do it, but again, I'm not going to hang them.


But I mean, this is a much larger issue that's not just in gaming, it's everywhere. Marketing is professional lying, nothing more. It's the culture we accept and needs to change with society, to make it unacceptable.
