And full credit for The Sims Medieval EXCLUSIVE goes to…

PC Format

Issue 243

LARGER VIEW

PC Format did indeed have the EXCLUSIVE on The Sims: Medieval, as seen here:

 

I have not had the fortune to see the magazine myself, but I have heard they have an interesting 6 page spread with 8 images.

A huge thankyou to uknortherner for the cover image above. 

 All images as seen above remain the property of  PC Format magazine.

 I would urge any website still publishing the images stolen from them to remove the TSR logo and credits and instead credit the rightful owners.

Thief Steve in EA Slapdown! – Updated

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , — coconut @ 13:15

 

  A few days ago Steve posted an article about the new game from EA called The Sims : Medieval.  He clearly stated in that article that he got the ‘inside’ information from EA last year, and was under an NDA. He posted a short review and several in-game screenshots. As always, Steve was bending the truth somewhat!

  He actually got the information and the screenshots from a hard copy of a PC magazine available to buy from many magazine outlets in the UK. Not only did he copy their review, he scanned and published THEIR screens without their permission, knowledge or consent. The PC magazine is called PC Format.

  Steve wanted to be the first to announce this to the world online, so that TSR could gain all the credit and interest from the announcement, especially by beating EA to the punch. This would also prove once and for all that he is indeed in EA’s rear trouser pocket.  

  Things came undone when EA asked him to remove it, which he begrudgingly did, however during a TSR meeting ( in which he called EA ‘Shitheads’ 3 times ) HE decided that EA could do nothing about the article as it had already been printed in the real world, TSR was merely reporting on PC Formats article.

  EA got in touch again very quickly and whatever they said to him got the article removed and he upgraded their status to ‘Wankers’  Steve was then stomping like a small child and made an ‘official complaint’ to EA about PC Format demanding they lose the right to any EA exclusives in the future. Clearly his theft of their story and pictures got him into trouble so they must be destroyed!

  He then made a retraction type post on TSR, admitting he got it from a magazine, but basically blaming EA and their corporate stuff. At least he had the sense to describe their PR as “flapping” and not a “bunch of wankers” this time.

 There was no mention of why he lied in the first post about getting the information from EA a year ago and signing a NDA, nor was their any credit to the magazine for the article or pictures he published and took credit for.  

  Steve is itching to repost when the time is right and again he will feature the article on his ‘special relationship with EA’ - A relationship so special that a UK PC magazine got the story and in-game screens first, and he had to steal, scan and republish them.

  The sad thing is that other websites are crediting TSR for the article and screenshots. Full credit should go to PC Format, not to the site that stole their property.

  It is also worth noting that TSR not only stole, scanned and republished the pictures from a magazine, they also added their own TSR logo to them, in a pathetic attempt to claim ownership, as seen below.

Update

 

  There seems to be 2 versions of Steve’s initial post, the first one which was up for most of the day, and the second that appeared briefly before EA forced him to remove it again.

  I was hesitant to publish the first post yesterday as EA clearly do not want either of Steve’s posts to be viewed online, but the topic here is not about EA’s alleged new game, it is about Steve’s theft of an article and pictures, so I have decided to publish. The second post only came to light today via PMBD, and I will also publish that.

Upcoming ’submission’ post

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , — coconut @ 16:47

  I am in possession of several screencaps that were submitted to me earlier this week. These are from an MSN Messenger conversation that took place on May 8th 2009 which occurred between Atwa and a former friend. During the 1 hour and 20 minute conversation Atwa discusses the list, SHARES the list, acknowledges the list came from a petition of complaint to EA, and when asked who gave it to her she replies “Thomas”  In addition to this Atwa also shares the surnames of 2 people, a possible location of another.

  Although the submitter has expressed she does not mind her own name being published, I must however, blur the surnames/locations of the other people involved and may need to do some cropping to fit the images into the blog. I will find time over the next day or so and publish the full conversation here. 

 My reasons for posting today are partly to keep you up to date with upcoming information and partly to let the submitter know that I have not forgotten.

Undue Credits? ( and a virus or 2 )

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , — coconut @ 18:42

  

   It is reported that many website owners have been sent Emails from Tom, some stern, some nasty and some containing threats of legal action. The reason?  ‘Inadequate’ credits for the workshop tool. So just how ‘inadequate’ have these credits been?

Are you at risk?

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , — coconut @ 01:32

  Due to TSR’s continuing attitude that they can and will do as they please with your data, it is time to take a look at the risk factors of joining or subscribing to them.

  TSR are very fond of quoting laws and disclaimers that they make up as they go along, let us take a look at TSR’s Privacy Policy that they think gives them the right to legally publish YOUR PRIVATE DATA .

Statements,Legal threats & Squirmings.

  Well would you credit it! TSR have talks about their proposed ‘statement’ I took the time to write up the details, and then they change their tactics last minute just before I am about to publish it. I am convinced they do this to annoy me, it is like I have nothing better to do then play games with Steve when he gets bored of watching Tom French kissing Atwa . I am going to publish it anyway, because I really do not have the time today to rewrite, I will add the updated information in bold.
