Possibly manufactured? If it's true, that's really, really awful. I can't believe any company would do that.
As others have pointed out they did it before and the timing is just too convenient. For those that don't know about the Dante's Inferno stunt:Possibly manufactured?
Damn EA, that'd be low even for you.
According to the AP, EA spokeswoman Holly Rockwood said that the publisher hired a viral marketing firm which staged the protest. About 20 actors carried signs and distributed pamphlets protesting Dante's Inferno on supposed religious grounds.
The marketing campaign also employed a faux website, WeAreSaved.org.
We have to be careful mentioning it though - or else our Origin accounts may be in jeopardy ;-).
