Fox Gives EA the Brush-off; EA 'Going to Fight Back'

EA's Jeff Brown has told GameDaily BIZ that his company will continue to stand up for its creative teams and the games they make. He says, "We're going to fight back."

yay.

[TitanUp]

ea finally does something right good for ea

[Lacarious]

Only reason they are doing whatever it is they are doing is because they want peeps to think they are behind the brilliance that is Mass Effect. It's just yet another publicity stunt done by a company that values superficial BS moreso than creating great gaming experiences.

[DeadlyFire]

I Never liked EA, but this makes me respect them more.

[Fototherapist]

For your right...for boobies! Gotta love Mass Effect's barely visible boob and butt shots. Personally, I made several visits to that club for the "personal" dances. Hot! Too hot for Xbox! Woo Hoo, yeah baby. Take it off!!!

[SmokeyMcBear]

you all know what this is right.. just free publicity for mass effect.. expect sales to jump a bit in the coming weeks.

[actas123]

U are definitely right. I think Fox and Ea (two crappy companies) are actually together on this.. Ea is learning from GTAs publicity that was mainly due to this kinda of news..

here is her myspace- let torment this uninformed intelligent fool....

Flood her with negative e-mails.

It should keep her quiet until GTA4 comes out, then she will be at it again.

[mintaro]

good to see EA do something right that isnt for profits, kudos to you EA, kudos to you

[actas123]

If u think about it, its actually creates more publicity for Mass effect. I think behind the scenes Fox and Ea are getting drunk together..

And free advertisement.

[G_CodeMonkey]

Fair & balanced?? Right... How about Faux News? gCM

[GIJeff]

tv news is that way. If its not too right, its too left. I live in a bubble personally, and care not what happends with the rest of the world.

[MK_Red]

The first decent thing EA has ever done. It's more than disusting how Fox is exploiting something like that and how they are twisting facts and using the least informed people to analyse things. For the first time in my life, I have to say: EA FTW!

[Maldread]

Agree with that bubby. Never though i would say it about EA though, but they do deserve credit for this and their attempt to make new games like Skate and Dead Space. Guess not all is bad about EA either (even though i still consider them to be horrible developers).

[Dukester101]

Well said MK.

I watch Fox News, and they couldnt have made themselves look any dumber by doing that segment. It's BS, and as one of the few news sites that I find credible, it pisses me off to lose some of that because of misinformation and lies.

[Silellak]

I feel dirty siding with EA on...anything. I've hated them since they bought OSI and drove the Ultima franchise into, and eventually deep deep under, the ground. So, needless to say, I was incredibly annoyed when they bought Bioware.

But this? This is good. Even if nothing comes of it - at least they stood up to the poor excuse for media in this country.

[Yi-Long]

Fox, as always, LIED to their viewers.
I'm glad someone is going to call them up on that.

Just sue Fox for slander if you have to.

They call it a newschannel, but you get more facts from Cartoon Network.

[GIJeff]

dissagreed because fox is not alone on this sort of thing. CNN is just as guilty for bull$hiting.

[whengeeksgobad]

Any press is good press. There are far more people interested in seeing it for themselves than there ever would be people fearing the game to begin with. Anyone who believed the news piece in the first place is very likely not someone ever planning on buying the game.

Just like 2 Live Crew, just like Marilyn Manson, or any other controversy that meets consumerism - chances are their totally wrong news story generated revenue, and keeping it in the public eye will continue to do so.

[niall77]

its fox news

[DJ]

But their head's in the right place.

[aggh im on fire]

Go EA,kick Fox's butt. Oh and can we have more naked Ashly in Mass Effect2.

[cmrbe]

From what i read. I think FOX mi reported the whole thing so EA must correct it.

[hotrider12]

just sucks period!!!! they cant make a good need for speed game any more "prostreet" give me a fvcking break that lame a$$ game. mass effect2 will be good. EA is doing nothing good lately, screw up madden football. if EA need to fight they need to re-design all of their games.

[mrsLawrence]

did i hear full nudity?

[mrsLawrence]

im so gonna write my book
