I SURVIVED GAME CHANGERS

HIGH FIVE!

 

[JJD]

So that's it? No other games talk?????????

 

[DietRob]

So what is the point of this? I just tuned in and found this in OT. Wat?

Its like the Seinfeld of conferences only not the slightest bit funny or entertaining.

 

[hellclerk]

You are fucking kidding me. You know, it would have been nice if it said "EA GAMECHANGERS: SIM CITY" because then, you know, it would have made sense that they only talked about Sim City, a game franchise they bought up with Maxis...

Seriously, what the fuck did I just watch?

 

[Raide]

Was Sim City the surprise announcement? ..f syfguiwegufgui

The surprise announcement was EA and Maxis just wasted your time. Enjoy!

 

[Rebel Leader]

HIGH FIVE!

I did too on my phone.... stayed up... it was painful

 

[Brinbe]

Historically bad. Well-done, EA!

Good thing I bailed out after the Inconvenient Truth trailer

 

[Raonak]

Wow. thats all?

what a collasal waste of time. :/

 

[Irish]

So... Um... When should I expect my check in the mail? I watched that conference through to the end, EA. I think you owe me something now.

I SURVIVED GAME CHANGERS

achievement unlocked. \o/

 

[Mikeside]

Wow, that might have been the worst thing I've ever seen.

Well... Ubisoft laser tag still might beat it, but its up there.

at least that was hilariously bad...

[Satchel]

So who's starting the class action law suit?

 

[Rebel Leader]

Platinum trophy

 

[Keyser Soze]

 

[Codeblue]

This was memorable for how completely bizarre and yet boring it was.

The move to OT makes its existence worth it though.

 

[Natiko]

The entire time I was watching this I just couldn't fathom what they were thinking when they set this up.

 

[rdrr gnr]

TM the phrase as well. Embrace Failure (TM)

 

[Satch]

Somebody photoshop that into an EF

PLEASE god this needs to happen

 

[maniac-kun]

I watched Game Changers and all i got is EA Syndrom.

 

[nero2082]

More of this shit tomorrow? They trolled the fuck out of that room.

Any tweets from some of the attendees?

troll is hard with this one

 

[ArjanN]

It's over.

Just for this EA, I'm going to go club a seal.

You are fucking kidding me. You know, it would have been nice if it said "EA GAMECHANGERS: SIM CITY" because then, you know, it would have made sense that they only talked about Sim City, a game franchise they bought up with Maxis...

But they didn't even talk about Sim City. At all.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Wait..thanks for the best bed time story ever EA.. nothing excited to keep me wanting more

 

[pieatorium]

But they didn't even talk about Sim City. At all.

The first 2 or 3 minutes was at least sim city related.

Someone should make a small version so those who survived game changers can paste it on their avatars.

 

[mclaren777]

We all did.
Even the people there.
Not your fault.

I thought EA made it clear this wasn't going to be about games.

I think most of you had unrealistic expectations.

And regardless, what they talked about wasn't gaming related at all.
Why would they hype this up to GAMERS when it had nothing to do with GAMES.

Fantastic idea. I want one.

I'm actually kind of glad it worked out like this. Angry GAF is more fun than on-topic EA.

Wait.....did you actually watch this knowing it wasn't going to be about games?

DEAR GOD.

Is there an archive of this? I missed it

Someone tweet me the link

GAMES DEVELOPER CONFERENCE

They even had a synopsis of the speakers in the page before the stream started. But I can't deny that it was a little fun to mock this

Look who you are talking to...

 

[Bruiserk]

@EA:

It can't be that hard to put on a good conference.

JUST RUN

 

[mclaren777]

DEAR GOD.

Yeah, I watched it for Scott's portion. EA clearly told us who the guests were. Anybody who thought this was going to be game-focused was deluded themselves and buying into the hype.

 

[Rebel Leader]

JUST RUN

Or do what I am about to for... sleep

Nothing more appropriate than starting #GDC week with an earthquake #bigannouncement

MORE INFO! EA Maxis GDC announcement, huge event w/ special guests. Live stream info. http://on.fb.me/yJiZ78 #gamechangers

This is what EA senior director of PR Eric Reynolds was saying leading up to this.

No.

Seriously, its not worth it. Go about with your life and embrace the warm ignorance that protects you from the freezing illogic that was this presentation. The knowledge will burn you.

 

[MRORANGE]

Or do what I am about to for... sleep

amen it's nearly 4am here.

 

[rdrr gnr]

I'm confused.

What was the big announcement?

 

[GnarkillZA]

Best Twitter post I saw...fuck this was bad.

That sound of clanging doors in the background of the @EA #GDC Stream is people leaving faster than Enron shredding papers.

 

[AceBandage]

I'm confused.

What was the big announcement?

EA doesn't know what a game developer is anymore.

 

[Satch]

I'm confused.

What was the big announcement?

they're talking about sim city tomorrow!

 

[Rebel Leader]

No.

Sorry wario, this is the inconvenient truth.

CURVED ROADS. Beside that i have no memory of what i just watched.
