Honestly, if Fox does not retact or correct the statements I believe EA not only should but probably will sue. I mean the media has been attacking video games for quite some time but the vidoe gaming community has never been able to really fight back. Here is their prime opprotunity they just committed slander on national television. Last time I checked committing slander was illegal. EA would wipe the floor with FOX in court and FOX has to know this. They did not “misstate” they LIED outright and they know they did. They probably just assumed that they could get away with it like they have in the past with so many other games.

I’m also really glad EA did this, a much more productive course of action than going on Amazon and trashing a completely unrelated book.

Do this right, and we may get some results.

This isn’t a legal threat; it’s an appeal to your sense of fairness.

What that says to me is “This isn’t a legal threat… yet.” It’s about time the industry started fighting back when things like this hit the media. I hope this is only the first shot in the war against ignorance.

I’m glad EA did the right thing. Hopefully, they can find a way to take this story to the airways on other news outlets. I highly doubt Fox will retract their statements, but anything is possible. While the iron is hot, this is definitely the time to keep up the pressure on the largely misinformed media.

Wow. I have to give EA tons of credit for handling this in exactly the right way. Now if FOX doesn’t feel compelled to point out the blatant falsehoods they put forth as fact, they’re the ones who end up with egg on their faces.

It hurts a little to say this, but GO EA!

lol never thought I’d see the day I’d give kudos to EA.

What the so-called “expert” and straight out biased and ignorant panel said in the short “discussion” was utterly moronic. They didn’t even let Geoff fully defend Mass Effect(and games in general), cutting him off as soon as they realized his comments started to make more sense than Cooper’s unfounded accusations.

I really hope this degenerates into EA filing suit against Fox News. All the news outlets on US television are biased, but the garbage Fox spews forth from the TV on a day-to-day basis is horrible. Hell, I hope Microsoft gets in the act too and puts pressure on Fox for headlining their console as the “SeXbox”.

This isn’t just about Mass Effect… it’s about a popular media outlet blatantly lying and putting forth a negative image of gaming in general to the masses.

EA announces a free game in summertime, a number of seemingly solid titles, publishes for valve, and fights FOX?

Wow, what a turn around.

Let’s not get all over excited about EA here. Sure fox is terrible and those people had no idea what they were talking about.

But “Good job EA”??? EA is ruining creativity in video games, they are a video game producing sweat shop who exploit their workers and toss them in the trash when there done. They’ve ruined so many game companies and series’ I want to cry.

This isn’t a legal threat; it’s an appeal to your sense of fairness. We’re asking FNC to correct the record on Mass Effect.”

And if not, a legal threat will follow ? I sure hope so !

I approve!

(I wasn’t much of an EA fan, but they seem very loyal to their games and those who make them. That gets awesome-sauce points in my book)
