Vive la Resistance

Some people might remember that during one episode of the RSBANDB update I asked Shane and Brad what they thought of EA charging money for additional weapons. Let me give you some history behind it.

Awhile back, Lono of Sarcastic Gamer wrote an article about the charging on additional DLC in the form of guns. Everyone on the site joined together to boycott Battlefield: Bad Company. Soon, Lono’s article hit over 350 comments with support and 400+ diggs. With a torrent of emails. Soon Jim Sterling of Destructoid picked up the article. That was Monday…… now on Saturday EA released a statement saying that they will not charge for these guns.

What did this show us? Simple, it showed how smaller blogs such as Sarcastic Gamer can make a difference in the gaming market. It also shows how something that is not right, with the right motivation, everyone can make a difference if you believe something enough.

Vive la resistance…. long live the resistance.
