So I read this article over at Eurogamer about The Sims Online shutting down. Ok yeah, I knew that was coming. It was a joke and Will Wright should have sued them for screwing it up so bad.
Then I read that they are relaunching it in a different manner but calling it EA Land.
EA Land? Seriously?!
Then the Eurogamer writer mentions how the whole thing confuses and scares him. I think to myself "Well it surely can't be that bad."

O_O
It's that bad.

I think EA is like that Bipolar guy everyone hangs out with... sometimes he's cool, other times he just repulses you.
No one hung out with someone like that? Huh? Just me?

If it's one thing the Gaming Community has learned about EA it's that they don't know when to quit.

Aside from the aesthetics of the site I cant help but think that's bullshit. Let's rip the Sims and call it EA Land! Oh joy! What's the point?

Enter real world Sims! Only your costs your soul to play!
Keep your eyes peeled for the average gamers.

Why not take this idea (and by idea, I mean the barest, most vague concept of the idea) and turn it back to Playboy? Shit, can you SEE THAT?! Taking the Playboy Mansion game and turning it online???
Now THAT would be a good idea. This...? This isn't an idea. This is like that episode of Family Guy where Peter goes to visit his old prom date, and turns out that she's got "a little piece of him" that he left behind all those years ago....
It should have been flushed LONG before ever putting work into a website. What was it you were saying about THAT sort of thinking and productivity?? Yeah. Let's make an example of them.

Who do they really believe would want to play "EA Land"?? I mean, the name alone smacks of corporate arse-rapery, and that's before you've seen their eye-gougingly garish website. I honestly can't fathom who they're aiming at, or who they think would want to play?

Sigh, the only good games EA produces are the ones they buy the license to.

Seriously though, the only good games EA brings out are the ones they buy from other companies. Things do not look good for Sims 3.
