Oh, right, and that makes complete sense. If they use that excuse on me, I'll surely crumble! This content that they don't even need to buy must be censored at all costs!
No, it's not. I wasn't even going to buy it in the first place, but this blatant censorship is what is annoying. People whining because they're offended by content that they don't even need to view/play got it banned for people who did want it.
"For a lot of people however this is much much too soon."
Too bad for them. Luckily, they have a few options:
1) Don't buy the game. 2) Stop being such oversensitive, weak-minded idiots.
Stop ruining it for the rest of us who do want the content.
"Now put yourselves in the shoes of a mother who recently lost a son"
The game that she doesn't even need to buy killed her son? Oh, no! Actually, it's because other content that offends other people doesn't matter to these selfish idiots. All they care about is what offends them, and to hell with anyone who is offended by something they're not offended by, or people who wanted the content.
Who cares? If they don't want the game, simply don't buy it. Don't ruin it for everyone who does. There is absolutely no excuse for this blatant censorship, and quite frankly, I'm tired of these oversensitive, weak-minded idiots who can't handle imaginary content for absolutely no reason.
Also, I'm sure there still exists families who had loved ones die in World War 2, or at least know someone who did. Or another war. But, hey, since they're not in the majority (and that particular content doesn't both me, because I only care about what I want), who cares?
How is this a good thing, exactly? This is blatant censorship (not forced, but it still is) imposed by idiots who can't handle imaginary content that they didn't even need to buy in the first place. If they can't handle it, it should not be ruined for everyone who can.
DRM? Lobbying for laws that will take away the rights of the average citizen (ACTA, DMCA)? The average person doesn't care enough about that to complain, they only care about things that they actually understand.
There would be little controversy for a game that featured a war that is no longer going on. Why? People only care about things that they are personally offended with, and they don't care about anyone else. But, hey, instead of simply not buying the game, let's have it censored and ruin it for everyone who wanted the content to stay!
What a bunch of weak-minded idiots. If a few people who can't handle a video game with content that they don't like that they don't even have to buy complain about said content, they remove it. Those people have just ruined it for anyone who actually wanted that content, as it was originally planned to be in the game. But, no, people who wouldn't buy the game anyway get their way. Absolutely pathetic. I'm sick and tired of this blatant censorship (even if it wasn't technically forced on them). I already had zero respect for EA and any company like them, but this is insane. Might as well ban everything that someone takes offense to!
Fair enough. Leeches who are capable of helping the rest of society but choose not to do so to fulfill their own selfish desires annoy just about anyone who isn't them.
Of course! Like most companies, they will do anything to get away ripping off their customers if the idiots continue to throw money at them. Naturally, their goal is of course to make money, but they (along with Activision) still seek to rip off their customers more than some other companies.
Out of touch with their customers? No. Of course not. If they got out of touch with their customers, they'd also be out of touch with their customers' wallets. Can't have that!
A decision that politicians made that didn't completely suck? Impossible. Surely there's some sort of catch. Even if there's not, I'm sure they'll screw it up soon enough, anyway.
Dot.tk is still the best URL shortener for me. At least with that you can make a URL that appears to link to an actual website as opposed to unreadable garbage.
Clearly all forms of socialism is bad because of this, and our government shouldn't provide anything at all. No kinds of help at all. None.
"But for the moment, it's not causing much deaths"
So, yeah, let's continue with our inefficient practices until it becomes an actual problem! It's what the 'intelligent' species known as "humans" are best at.
Drop IPv4, switch to IPv6. Stop artificially extending outdated technology if it doesn't need to happen (it doesn't). It'll suck for a time, yes, but it will eventually pay off.
Adopting one or more clean, renewable, and efficient energy supplies would also help a great deal. Education is also a great way to reduce the population, in theory. It's just that far too many shortsighted imbeciles seem to encourage other people to have more kids the 'natural' way, instead of adopting one of the many orphans rotting in an adoption home, instead. If the human race can't even fix itself on the planet it's currently on, I'd rather see it die than go and ruin another planet (assuming getting there is even possible).
Sweet, now we only have to find out a way to get there so that we may proceed with the ruination of that planet, too! Honestly, I think that we should just fix some of the problems we have here, rather than thinking about ways to migrate to other planets and ruin them with our current idiotic ways.
I was merely pointing out that just because someone broke a law, that doesn't necessarily mean that they did the 'wrong' thing. If it presents a huge risk to the company to have them, then I guess it would be okay not to hire them. But, really, I can't see the "huge risk" part happening.

Yes, they are indeed free to complain. However, when those baseless complaints ruin or degrade the experience for other people, it becomes a problem.
No, it's not. I wasn't even going to buy it in the first place, but this blatant censorship is what is annoying. People whining because they're offended by content that they don't even need to view/play got it banned for people who did want it.
Well, now that they put it that way... they can simply not buy the game.

"that the war is still happening"
Who cares? If they don't want the game, simply don't buy it. Don't ruin it for everyone who does. There is absolutely no excuse for this blatant censorship, and quite frankly, I'm tired of these oversensitive, weak-minded idiots who can't handle imaginary content for absolutely no reason.

"virus and malware"
One should wonder what kind of shitty browser these people are using to get viruses by merely visiting a website.
"1) socialism"
Clearly all forms of socialism is bad because of this, and our government shouldn't provide anything at all. No kinds of help at all. None.
"But for the moment, it's not causing much deaths"
So, yeah, let's continue with our inefficient practices until it becomes an actual problem! It's what the 'intelligent' species known as "humans" are best at.
"I am a better man than any career politician"
Not hard to accomplish, honestly.
"that might make it hard to guess what was there before"
Not just hard, next to impossible (depending on the number of times it was overwritten), even for a government agency.
Drop IPv4, switch to IPv6. Stop artificially extending outdated technology if it doesn't need to happen (it doesn't). It'll suck for a time, yes, but it will eventually pay off.
Now perhaps they can try experimenting on their intended target: humans.
Adopting one or more clean, renewable, and efficient energy supplies would also help a great deal. Education is also a great way to reduce the population, in theory. It's just that far too many shortsighted imbeciles seem to encourage other people to have more kids the 'natural' way, instead of adopting one of the many orphans rotting in an adoption home, instead.

"Right and wrong depend entirely on cost/benefit analysis"
No, they depend on an opinion. I wasn't stating that merely for businesses.
"never make oneself a convict even if it means following the law."
Yeah, but not a marijuana user or something such as that.
Sweet, now we only have to find out a way to get there so that we may proceed with the ruination of that planet, too! Honestly, I think that we should just fix some of the problems we have here, rather than thinking about ways to migrate to other planets and ruin them with our current idiotic ways.

I've googled my name and found a few people with the exact same name, and my name isn't even really that common.
