They have reported that a majority of the IPs originate from China and that those users have only posted in threads regarding SimCity complaints.[/quote]

I hope they get flogged for this.

This article looks pretty fabricated. There's no citations and it quotes an unnamed "EA representative". It's either a completely made up story or poor journalism.

This source is fake. They write satirical articles. Like The Onion but for video games.

Yeah, just realized pretty much all of the articles are jokes.

"I’m going to come right out and say it. I’m tired of EA being seen as “the bad guy.” I think it’s bullshit that EA has the “scumbag EA” memes on Reddit and that Good Guy Valve can Do No Wrong."

Edit: oh wait it's fake

At first you aren't surprised but then you feel sad that its satire.

The always online option makes the game far more fun and enjoyable, I am really glad they put it in and hope it will be in all further EA releases.

Check his IP, I think this guy may be one of those Chinese spammers.

Oh shit, I think their website crashed from the sheer amount of gullible people who believed it
