EA “Responds” To Wiki Complaints

EA’s Wiki “tidying”? Not cool! Just as uncool is their “response” to the issue, which is less of a response as it is a…load of old hogswallop. An EA rep contacted Gamesindustry, and told them: EA sometimes updates websites with info about the company, games and employees. For example, EA has sent a correction to Yahoo Finance when they had misspelled the name of an EA executive.

Many companies routinely post updates on websites like Wikipedia to ensure accuracy of their own corporate information.

Remember, kids, corporate information is only accurate if the corporation likes what it’s reading.

EA Staffer Alters History

Someone in EA’s Redwood City offices has been trying to change history. An IP address belonging to said offices has been poking about in the company’s Wikipedia entry over the past years, systematically removing references to EA founder Trip Hawkins as well as information on the much publicised EA Spouse incident, which exposed the oppressive working conditions employees were forced to contend with and eventually led to a class-action lawsuit. We aren’t talking a tiny edit here or there. We are looking at whole paragraphs expunged from the text, positive spin being added where negatives couldn’t be completely obliterated.
