How about Microsoft's monopoly?

If Microsoft didn't have a monopoly, everyone would be sitting around compiling their kernels all day instead of doing productive work on a PC.

It's people like you that make me cheer for EA. I was laughing my ass off when they killed NFL2K just because of all the whiny SEGA fans this board has harbored since the dawn of time.
That and it was really funny how Visual Concepts finally had a strategy in place that allowed them to compete.

I'm very liberal, probably moreso than Michael Moore (anarcho-socialist I like to call myself) -- but he's a joke. His movies are poorly researched and rely too much on the "emotional" side and not even with the reason. There are intellectual reasons why the left is right, but Moore fails to address them.
Man a Michael Moore movie on EA would be hilarious.
[Movie Begins, Cheesy Montage featuring old footage of people playing games on atari, coleco and NES. Country Joe's Vietnam Song plays in the background]
<MichaelMoore's voice over images of the American way> "On December 16 2004, the farmers tilled the fields. A old man delivered milk to its final destination. Some young twelve year-old boy masturbates furiously to porn for the first time. And somewhere, somehow... a videogame company called EA secured exclusive rights to the NFL license."
[Another montage featuring old footage of computer geeks in classrooms. Slow motion stock footage from the 60s show nerds walking up the steps of MIT. Elton John's "First Episode At Hienton" blares obtusely.]
<MichaelMoore> The town of Flint Michigan, where I was so born to a humble home next to a street corner that was frequented by HIV infected crack whores, never got to play many videogames. We used to be a healthy town until one day we were essentially abandoned...
...*insert a twenty five minute diatribe on Flint Michigan and corporations in America and then finish it up with some vague analogy to how EA is currently operating*
<MichaelMoore> EA says publicly that its business practices are healthy for the industry and that it wishes nothing but to continue to support the creative process. But we wanted to know what they really think. So we went to visit Larry Probst in Redwood City, California to ask him personally what he feels on the subject.
[Insert shakey hand-camera footage of Michael Moore sweating horribly as he tries to navigate his way up three steps. They ambush Larry Probst on the way to a meeting guerilla-war style]
<MichaelMoore> Mr. Probst... Mr. Probst... *gasp*... *huff*... The Americ--*puff*--an people want to *gasp* know exactly what you feel on the issue of supporting creative expansion within the videogame indus--*gasp*--try?

Man, this movie would be hilarious

Sweet text, however, I still think Micheal Moore is right. Actually I'm confident he is. I don't know him personally so I dunno if he's an asshole or not. I don't really care, I dont idolize nor demonize him.Amir0x said:*blush*
Thanks!
Unlike some people in this thread, who think it's mature to wish someone who is actually trying to make difference for them and all the other people in the world dead...(right or wrong, he's trying, wether it's via wrong way or right).
Wether he's right or wrong on his views on Bush doesn't matter, all men in power are evil. Probst no less so. You wield power only one way once you get it, by abuse and for personal gain. You simply don't get power if you want to use it for good, it's the law of the jungle we live in. Revolution is needed.
"Yeah, hi. I'm here for the EA CEO Job? Yeah, I'm great thanks. How I would like to lead the company? I would like to reform EA to allow the developers the creative freedom so that every single game has a new original spark of life and is not just a copy of the last and without producing them like you produce a turd every day! But by taking care and making sure its all it can be. Sure we'll make a little less money maybe. But what's a few million more or less. Ha ha. Also, the large profits don't actually go anywhere outside of the pockets of our velvet 5000 dollar jackets do they? We don't really need it, we already have 2 houses a ferrari and a whole set of cheap Mexican or afro-american workers to clean the pool, house and park the car. Let's invest in the third world, and build schools and educate people so they can work on building their nation so they can once, soon I hope, have the standards of living we rich western people do and hopefully enjoy our games, made with passion by our workers who are all treated fairly and get all kinds of benefits from working passionatly and creatively. Sounds good?
...I got the job??? REALLY??"
Won't happen. EVAR.

While I understand your perspective, one thing that is never acceptable is deception. And as much as I dislike the Bush administration and policies on gun advocation in this country there is no doubt that Michael Moore consistently distorts truths in order to guide the viewer to his ultimate point. Although the following source I will give you is clearly right wing, it's a great read because despite my political differences it does what Moore doesn't - state the facts of the issue. Bowling for Columbine. Fahrenheit 9/11. Stupid White Men.
If there's one thing Moore is... it's that he's an extremely talented editor. The man can magically turn anything on its head and use it to his advantage; like a masterful composer forming one of many life works.
However, just because he is talented doesn't mean we must accept it when he uses those talents wrongfully. And clearly he has done this to manipulate the less perceptive Americans out there.

I don't wish him dead, but I do in fact hope that his films become unsuccessful until he learns how to stick to the truth when defending his viewpoints.
Kobold said:
As cynical as I am about things, it's more than a little extreme-liberal to assume that everyone who is in power is somehow corrupt. Yes, an argument can made that most are. An argument can be made that power corrupts. An argument can also be made that we haven't had a single corrupt-less president since the country was founded. But to say that everyone with power is going to be "evil" (a term so black and white, by the way, that's it's not even worth using here -- we should view the world with more shades of gray) is a bit naive.
And I don't know that we need anything, much less Revolution.

I do not think this is the type of discussion that would occur when someone was "applying" for the job of CEO.
Even though you can't just apply for that type of job.

Oh that. The right-wing smear campaign you mean? Propogated by the (exclusively) right-wing talk-show hosts on US TV?Bobety said:

I know that it's a bit hard to seperate your political position from the truth at times, hell it's even hard for me... but it's an indisputable fact that Michael Moore actively distorts the truth. This is not something open for interpretation or something. That is more than enough documentation and video and dissection available for you to discern this for yourself.
And mind you, I'm a moderate who despises the Bush administration.
Folder said:Oh that. The right-wing smear campaign you mean? Propogated by the (exclusively) right-wing talk-show hosts on US TV?
I'm actually pretty left-wing myself, and I know a lot of the stuff people say about Moore is bullshit, but a lot of it is also fact. I just hate the whole deception thing, how he bends the truth and exaggerates things...
(BTW I don't live in the US, i'm Australian)
