people are stupid.
so penny-arcade had a comic today saying that they’d worked out an exclusivity deal to make them the only video game related webcomic out there, prompted by EA getting the rights to make all NFL video games for the next 70 million years, followed by Take Two kinda getting the rights to MLB video games. EA is also attempting to buy every video game developer around, and is looking at ubisoft, even though ubisoft does not want to be owned by EA. See, the difference between EA and ubisoft is that ubisoft makes good games. EA I guess has some good games by accident, sometimes. when you have so many, some of them have to be good, a fuerza. (i just kinda felt like “a fuerza” fit there better than any phrase i knew in english. that happens every once in a while, a word in spanish just sounds more right than an english translation.)
apparently people actually believed this and wrote hate mail to gabe and tycho berating them for getting the exclusive rights to make video game comics from every video game publisher in the world.
sometimes i think the internet is pretty cool. other times i think it was the worst idea ever and all of those people shouldn’t be allowed to use it.
