"On the Cafepress Web site, a portal that allows users to create their own custom apparel and items and sell them, a virtual store has opened featuring t-shirts emblazoned with a phrase that illustrates recent complaints some Electronic Arts employees have voiced concerning working conditions at the company. Available in a number of styles at various prices, all under $20, the shirts read: "I worked 90 hours a week for EA, and I didn't even get this lousy T-Shirt." Because Cafepress requires no upfront costs to open a store on the site, it's likely the idea isn't focused on financial gain, but rather as an inside joke among some EA employees. Sources inside the publisher tell GameSpot they have yet to see the shirt surface among employees.

Man I think this whole story has gone on long enough. It seems so overblown its not funny. The people at EA are not unhappy. Their like the freakin Borg. They are all so brainwashed they love it. That's why the whole story broke by some ones wife. She may be pissed her hubby works to much but he loves it. There like crack heads over there they know its killing them but the love it.

I thought perhaps you were trying to hide your corparate flavor by being "edgey" buy appealling to us hardcore gamers with words such as 'Borg' and 'Crack'. You know how us gamers like crack.
