My original title for this post was “Hate on EA Day!” because it seems that I’m on a roll with EA today. But gawddamn if they don’t bring the wrath of Sarcastic Gamer on themselves. These idiots have been secretly rewriting Wikipedia entries regarding their company since November of 2006. A guy over at Shacknews used a Wikipedia scanner to find the edits and the source of the edits. It seems that over a third of the edits came from… wait for it…. an IP address at EA’s Redwood Studios in California!

So what did they edit, you ask? They edited a ton of entries, check it out in the link for yourself. The most glaring edits were the wholesale deletion of paragraphs that were less than favorable toward EA and entries mentioning the founder of EA, Trip Hawkins.

When does the BS end with this company? Instead of attempting to rewrite history, why not just stop doing stupid crap that hurts your image, the gaming industry, the people that work for you, gamers, other gaming companies, small children, cute puppies, global warming… etc.
