EA's Dungeon Keeper Ratings Below a 5 Go To Email Black Hole
fplatten writes "I would definitely call this unethical manipulation of the ratings system: the Worst Company in America, EA is routing all ratings made in game of 1 to 4 stars as an email that is sent to EA, but all 5 star ratings are routed to the Google Play store, where its rating is currently 4.3 out of 5."
Actually, since EA is publicly traded, couldn't this count as a material misrepresentation to the stock market?
Neither. It's the super-paywall version where every tile you want to build takes 24 hours unless you pay them $2 PER TILE.
guys seriously I think beta is stupid... but all the anti Beta posts are ruining this site more then that is.
Um, you are aware that disruption is the point of picketing, right? The idea is to get not just the slashdot editors to notice, but the upper management who may be unaware of what's going on.
Disrupting the forums enough that it awakens those with power to actually make decisions is necessary to save slashdot.
If slashdot feeds us non-committed platitudes and corpspeak svada, chances are they do the same upwards too.
Hopefully some paying advertisers will notice soon, and make a phone call. It's not in their interest to sponsor a forum full of unhappy people, whether they're unhappy with DICE or unhappy with the protests.
I hope it won't take too long before someone is forced to swallow a camel and finally admit that they messed up. Then we can move on, get a new usable design made from scratch, and have a thriving community of posters.
But I'd rather see a few days of picketed topics now than to see Slashdot die within a few months. All your guys postings are worth a lot more to me than rational discussions right now and a dead site down the road.
So forgive us for disrupting your comment reading right now. If you can think of any other way to get the top brass to see that the site is broken, and that an overwhelming majority of those who make people come to visit the site won't accept the beta, even with band-aids on it, please let us know. Using the "appropriate" channels have gotten us exactly nowhere, they've ignored feedback for four months.
No joke. Total biscuit gives you a quick look in this video.

If this is the future of gaming according to EA they can shove it up their arse.
