Australasian Gamers Demand Response from EA - An Open Letter

8
From Geekpulp: "I am very disappointed with the decision that was made by EA in the USA (as are many others) to remove the online multiplayer functionality of Medal of Honor - Heroes 2 for the Wii. As you might have been aware this was the one feature that had been anticipated by thousands of Wii owners in Australia and New Zealand. The Wii does not have many games that offer a competitive online environment, so removing what was promised to be a great asset to the Wii line-up came as even more of a blow. I have a few questions that will not get answered without going directly to the source..."

1 - This is crazy
How can such a important part of a game be scrapped at the last minute. (maybe not scrapped last minute but announced last minute)

I wont be picking this title up for this reason alone.

Yes that is pretty bunk to take out a much touted feature such as the 32 player online multiplayer. I'm pretty sure most who've bought it got it for that one reason. I know I did.

4 - i
dont like the wii but that is uncalled for, they had a whole video on how great and smooth the online would be and then they just remove it talk about a marketing headache.

Also tho i may not like the wii as a gamer i'm very annoyed at such an underhanded tactic (talk about a great integral feature and remove just before release) they probably decided to scrap it earlier but they wanted the sales of the uninformed who didnt get the memo

6 - it wasn't solely EA's fault
Nintendo is the one who makes the call in what games can be online on their system.

they have had this hold on developers denying a lot the ability for online aspects until nintendo themselves start opening the doors....with their own titles.

supposedly, after smash brawl is released worldwide is when the floodgates will be open

i don't know what nintendo is afraid of. why are they so scared of online.

this guy needs to realise that he lives in a place that is (politically speaking) anti video game violence, and that perhaps EA felt they were forced to remove the multi-player. Dark Sector was just banned for violence, was it not?

That is not it at all. EA have released Medal of Honor on the 360 and PS3 that both contain online multiplayer. There is no excuse.
