[Rumour] PS3 Cross game chat and why it's currently MIA - EA butthurt?

[Kushan]

I think most EA employees would only just be getting into work now, wouldn't they? Probably aren't even sure what the hell is going on.

Indeed it is, nice sig though :D

Imagine if Kushan's theory was right and he's a disgruntled ex-worker, he built up the trust of the community by leaking info about the slim so he could set this up for EA :laugh: That would be the tech story of the year!

Why thank you. :p

@Audio, Mel is NOT a douche! You are on crackers!

Audio said that Mel Gibson was a douche, so I replied that he is not one.

Oh lol. Well I can't say your on drugs on a PG-13 forum. :p

Oh wait...I just did. :laugh:

Sure you can. There are much more 'harsh' drug comments around the forums. I know, as I've posted a few. :p

I don't, however, do drugs (anymore).

OT though, EA are little bitches.

Can't say cockblocked, either ;)

edit: Holy ****, you can. Nevermind. Lulz.

Sixth Axis just posted an article about this. It says that Kotaku (lol) contacted EA and Sony and they said it's all fabrication, which really means absolutely nothing. They also go on to say that Super_Secret himself has admitted it's all complete lies even though his post count still sits as 22. I'd link to the article but it's just offensive to your eyes. :p

Word is still spreading, it seems. Less-than-reputable sites are still reporting this, although rather like chinese whispers the story seems to be changing ever so slightly with each news post:

We have been working the phones today, and trying to run down some rumors about a nixed PS3 firmware update feature that would enable cross-game voice chat being held back by a publisher who does not want its titles to look bad because they don?t support the feature.

According to what our sources are telling us, the company is said to be none other than Electronic Arts, and they have allegedly threatened everything from killing off all PS3 support to the launching of long and protracted legal action in order to stop the firmware update for the PS3 from going live in the next build.

From what we hear, both EA and Sony are suggesting that the entire thing is a total fabrication and nonsense. EA claims that they support cross-game chat on other systems, so there is no reason they would not support it on the PS3.

We have attempted to contact Sony?s new Director of Rumor Confirmation, Kevin Butler, but the operator at the corporate office had no listing by name or by job title in her directory. I guess Butler is so new on the job that they have not been able to get him into the system yet. We will update you when we have more on this, but it does seem at least plausible at the moment.

No mention of N4G, SS or anything like that. Just "their sources" lol

I'm pretty sure that article is a joke. Director of Rumor Confirmation, Kevin Butler is the guy from the new US PS3 adverts. :p

I dunno, that site is linked with the Inqurier, hard to tell what you're getting with them lol
