Can someone explain the Reggie shop? What makes it funny?

Also, I hate Nintendo but I think the EA engineer was rather crude. Ironically... I don't understand the backlash. A few days ago people were asking EA to come out and admit why they weren't supporting the Wii U... They have done so and the truth is bitter than expected.


Okay...I guess I'll bite. Why?
 
Uh, why not? This is exactly what we're supposed to do in a gaming discussion forum.

Then you should see my point. There are a certain type of people that engage in heated discussions about a video game company. Being a fanboy isn't some horrible personal insult. You can be a fanboy and still have an adult discussion without calling names.

If you take it personally, that's on you. Fanboyish behavior will get one labeled as such however.
 
Not to defend that incredibly stupid and unnecessary Twitter image from tilmen, and lets be honest, that was the very definition of stupid (and funny, regarding the following "versions) ... but banned?

There are other people on this board that are by far worse in their fanboyism, be it Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony alignment.

So the EA man deletet his posts? I would love to see his phone connetion list and or e-mail account ... would love to hear/read the reason why he deleted them.
 
Do you think Nintendo will never work with EA again because of some twitter messages?

Come on! If they start talking about deals and millions of dollars then they don't care about something like that anymore.

I think you misunderstood me, I doubt Nintendo would care, but surely EA management would prefer their staff to act in a professional manner in a public forum?

I don't follow sales but I've always been under this impression.

The impression is wrong.

Damn dude, did they murder a close friend of yours? steal your piggy bank? I mean I dislike Sony, but I would never forget what they have done for video games.

What kind of discussion about gaming happens between "non-fanboys", then? Sorry but some people are bound to agree with the decisions of Sony/Nintendo/MS/etc. and some are bound to disagree. And that's stuff that can be discussed. It's not inherently blind or fanboy-ish.
 
I kind of feel sorry for game developers nowadays. They have a lot of the negatives of celebrities but without the compensation to make the negatives worthwhile.

Nintendo's Journal. May 17th, 2013: Game cases in alley this morning, tire tread on broken discs. This EA's afraid of me. I've seen it's true face. The games are extended DLC's and the games are full of blood and when their greed finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists and all the Gamers and Journalists will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll whisper "No."
 
And the best looking game on 360 looks better than that. How does that prove anything?

It doesn't prove anything, but the Wii U getting upgraded ports of Xbox 360 games, especially games that look as good as Need For Speed, does seem to suggest that it's quite a bit more powerful. Did the PS2 ever get an upgraded port of an Xbox or Gamecube game?
 
You guys are risking bans yourself by questioning the ban. Watch it.

I've only questioned the sincerity of the actual image, which I did even before the ban. I can at least grasp he was banned because it caused a firestorm of attention, whether it was the intentional or unintentional kind.

At least Tilmen will forever be with us now..
 
I've seen way more offensive stuff written here than a pic of someone flipping the bird, so I'm really confused why that merits a ban and other, more flagrantly offensive instances haven't.

Genius.
 
I would fire him from EA for the idea that Nintendo should go 3rd party. Last thing EA needs now is more competition on this market, struggling as it is.
 
How could it be less powerful than a 7 year old system? I find that really hard to believe.

Because super conservative Nintendo decided to play it safe and meet the minimum bar set by their competitors instead of going above and beyond like they should have.

They were completely obsessed over the idea of the tablet thinking it would be a major draw, and decided to throw the entire fate of the system on that one aspect which funnily enough 99% of people don't give a shit about. (just like the 3D was for 3DS)
