The Game Comes To Life
from the do-you-need-to-be-thrilled-that-badly? dept
Somehow I get the feeling this might catch on. If you saw the movie The Game and liked it, get ready for EA's version of a reality game. Forget reality TV. When you register you give it all sorts of information which can (and will) be used against you later. The game will call you and threaten your life and the lives of family members, among other things. You can set it to alert you that it's the game calling or emailing - or it can be a total surprise. How soon until the first lawsuit comes about from someone who freaks out playing the game?
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
