ESA, EA Caught Editing Their Own Wikipedia Entries
With the whitewashing of Wikipedia now an easily-reviewable record, it's been noted that games-related organizations are not above tweaking their public image online. Joystiq notes that EA, for example, is unabashed about removing founder Trip Hawkins from their entry. More ominous edits from the Entertainment Software Association are reported by GamePolitics. The organization, which you may recall backing the recent raids on mod chippers, has made a concerted effort to cast mod chips in a negative light. " In one paragraph, someone at ESA deleted a nuanced discussion of mod chip legality, replacing it with a flat assertion that mod chips are illegal. Less than a minute later, a lengthy section on the positive uses of mod chips was deleted, as was a notation that the US Supreme Court has not yet dealt with the DMCA. Finally, a sentence stating that mod chips are legal in Australia was removed."
54th. England is 51, Saudi Arabia is 52, Iraq is 53.
I say we should be promoted to 50th, ahead of New Jersey (which according to our American-saturated television stations, nobody likes)
Admit it. You post strawman arguments as AC so you get modded Insightful for refuting them, rather than Troll
to discover that companies edit their own wikipedia entries...

Looses? You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means
England is the 0th state... :)
