Someone mentioned the best course here is through the purchasing power.
I agree this is a very effective method, so then in what ways do you all think this can be accomplished?
This is not about standing outside a store making a scene, or badmouthing anyone, it's about educating a consumer.
So we're clear here. This is about just talking to people and letting them know what is going on, then let them decide.
But there needs to be a better understanding by those wanting to invlove themself in a matter like this, and what this type of thing with spyware in gaming can turn into in the future.
If you want to control people, companies, and countries you take away their money, and standing out at stores is a simple approach for reaching the massses and the media at trying to take away money, and hopefully get the consumer into not spending.
There are many issues here at stake. There is alot more going on here then most people realise. It's more then just some simple spyware and ads.
Also talk to friends and family, talk to store managers and see what their take is on this, Costco, Walmart, Kmart, BestBuy, GameStop, etc... Tell it to the masses!
Is it TRUE there is no mention of this on the outside of the box? This is bad especially when stores will not take back an open box. I've known of stores that have this type of policy that won't accept open boxes.
EA needs to MARK this on the outside of the box.
Here is my take on this:
-------------------------------------
I look at it this way, we are the PC geeks, and the average PC consumer is clueless to this, and will not even bat an eyelash over this matter.
Personally I think those of you that have purchased this game, especially you, so you can show people your game with this slip of paper to explain this to them. And any other hardcore PC geeks, gamers should do the same.
When you get free time go down to your local game store in the shopping mall and stand outside and let the people know who are going in and out of those stores, and ask if they have bought the game and let them know about this, and explain to them what this means.
And let them know about this for any other games, then ask them how they feel about this and give them an email address and tell them to contact the companies in question, EA, not to send in nasty letters, but as consumers letting them know how we feel about this.
Also possibly some of you live in small towns and know the local News stations, and possibly they might just be looking for some news and they can follow you to the game store and film this while you stand outside the store.
I haven't located any good email addresses for them, in the meantime here is their toll free number for USA/Canada: 866-543-5435
