EA Gamespot Conspiracy Theory

[csstew55]

I bet you that EA puts out the patch for College Football on Aug 31.

Think about it, Gamespot has been handing out coupons ever since NCAA came out last month saying trade in your copy for Madden and recieve 30 dollars or something like that. EA knowing that they put on a product that lets face it, is a let down from all the previews that we've seen before the game was out.

What if EA did this on purpose to have many gamers upset at the game, and trade it in for Madden. All while right after Madden comes out releasing a patch for NCAA fixing all the major problems of the game and making it play like a whole new game. Doing so that the people that traded in NCAA for Madden actually buy the game again and seeing the sales go up more.

Cool story bro!


Sorry if that's a tad rude, but that makes almost no sense whatsoever.

This is the worst conspiracy theory in the world.

I would hope anyone who was dumb enough to trade in a game, just to buy it back later, would at least buy it "used" the second time. In wich case game sales for EA would not go up.
If EA did plan this, and their customers are dumb enough to buy a "new" game twice, then more power to them.

Ya and considering you would already have the online pass part linked to your account from the one you traded in, it would make absolutely no sense to buy another new copy to begin with. Silly theory.

Nah because Gamespot is just a gaming website and it doesn't sell games.
