Alliedassault - Boycott EA Games!

Boycott EA Games!

We are officially fed up with EA Games' unwillingness to create an effective means of anti-cheat support for MOH:AA, which they are still selling in stores today! Who in their right mind would pay good money for a SP/MP game that's completely hacked?!

Follow this link and complain to EA's technical support department!

Part of this boycott includes EA's partnership with GameSpy. Read on:

*** A mass boycott of Electronic Arts by simply turning OFF GameSpy Reporting ***

As a server admin for MOH:AA you can probably attest to the unbearable amount of cheaters and hackers at work in our community over the last eighteen months. You may or may not know that EA has dropped support for this game some months ago. Apparently, EA is still unwilling to listen to our pleas for a solution and is just now acknowledging any sort of problem. My (very simple) idea is to hurt GameSpy in the pocketbook and draw them in as an advocate for those who EA will not listen to -- the paying gamer. By shutting off as much GameSpy reporting as possible for a period of one week this should effectively put enough of a dent in GameSpy's kickbacks to get them talking to Electronic Arts for us. Without all our public servers where will all those public players go to play? Nowhere!

If you are following the cheat and anti-cheat trends you know just how rife this game is with hacks. Probably the most destructive is the release of I-Bot, an auto-aimer that DOES work. It's sickening that people are paying money for a game that promises a great multiplayer experience but does not warn you beforehand that the game's integrity is and has been compromised.

Please join me and make yourself heard by turning off your GameSpy reporting from June 1st, 2003 to June 7th, 2003. If this doesn't get their attention we'll do it again, but for two weeks...and so on and so on until someone promises to take action.

To turn off GameSpy reporting you'll need to edit your "server.cfg" file by changing the line seta sv_gamespy "1" to seta sv_gamespy "0". Contact your game server provider if you need further help.

Take Action!
