As I see it, I'm not writing PR for Microsoft; I'm helping their existing customers; ones that aren't savvy enough to enjoy the benefit of communities like DSP. It's a very different thing. The devil's in the details. :) That is ethical slicing and self-justification of the highest order, Shawn. Yo...

Shawn: Appreciate the clarification, and it's interesting that you're not being paid for your services by Microsoft or EA. Still, have you written reviews for sites owned by Microsoft and EA of titles developed and/or produced by those respective companies? And if you have, can you claim complete, ...

Doesn't EA cultivate the people it makes a part of their Community Leaders program? I suppose they do. They do seem to look for the MaddenMania-types; preaching to the converted. I'm not converted. ;) And then these Community Leaders will either review or tout the EA games on various forums. They d...

Did I miss the lefty bug? Yes, I did. But please keep in mind that it became visible and famous only after tons of people in OS' forums started to sim thousands upon thousands of man-hours' worth of seasons before it became visib Well missing it is one thing, you failed to rectify it. Whether it wa...

Ok but the Nhl08 reviews from his site 5wg and any others i might add who were invited to EA were fluffed up a bit . Caught up in the excitement perhaps or told not to say anything negative its still all too similar to what the original post is about. That's your opinion, of course, and you're cert...

I don't believe Shawn writes for XBox.com anymore, but I am pretty sure he writes for EASportsWorld now. There was advertising on that site for 5W-G over the last few months. The game was MVP 04, I remember that greatly because it was the lefty hitting bug. That's right. At that time, Steve Noah (M...

I agree with Cropp's stance about private financing 100%. It's detestable that MLB and other leagues hold municipalities hostage for hundreds of millions of dollars so they can just make more millions off the residents later. However, she should have fought for that during negotiations. That's the p...

Shawn, Foss: Don't take our constructive criticism of Fossen's column as OS bashing, and I don't think you see it that way. Just want to make sure. OS is a kick-ass site, the best comprehensive site on the Web for sports gaming. Anyone who says otherwise doesn't browse enough. But while the column ...

Reeche. I appreciate your input and insight. Nobody should be offended by constructive criticism, and I know that I'm certainly not. You're reading OS, and you have a strong enough feeling about it to post. That's what I'm hoping for. When criticism is pointed and rational, as opposed to... I don't...

Shawn, Great post over at OS...I'll repost here... Here's the bottom line: Necessity is the mother of invention. It is no longer necessary for EA to invent and innovate in order to succeed in their market. In fact, it could be effectively argued that innovation would be a bad business strategy for ...

Yeah, Fossen's column really wasn't a commentary as much as it was a synopsis of some of the more rational forum posts and opinion columns about this deal across the Internet. Commentary or analysis? Not really. Cliffs Notes for gamers living under a rock the last 24 hours? Yes, indeed. That's real...
