Yeah, you're definitely overreacting over a harmless promotion on a show that is designed first and foremost to be a source of entertainment. Again, they were very honest about how they felt when they were playing, and they made the parts where they had to read taglines blatantly obvious and transparent. I'm no fan of EA games, but it honestly sounds like you're just upset because Game Grumps didn't wholeheartedly oppose their creation with every fiber of their being simply because it was EA games.

It's not as though it's some sort of big conspiracy or anything, but it clouds frank discussion of games or any other product for that matter. Of course, the whole issue of "sold out" is more complex than people want to make out, but I don't think the anger over this is unfounded.

I'd say that people have a right to be upset perhaps, but actual anger is pretty unfounded.

Well, I'd say anger over a sports team losing is unfounded, but there are a ton of people who would disagree.

Bleh. Sports is a slightly different issue, but fine. I suppose passionate Game Grump fans can be angry if they want, just as passionate sports fans can be angry if they want.
-
Yeah. I'm not angry or shocked in the slightest by this news, but I can totally understand why people would be.

I'm not some big EA hater. It's the fact that they accepted to promote the game and accept money for showcasing the game and limiting any critical opinion rather than a half-said comment opposing it.
