"45 million registered users can't be wrong"

when you're misquoting people to make your point, maybe something is wrong with your argument. BTW I have no connection to EA and don't think I own any EA games.



The exact quote is "45 million registered users are proving that wrong."

Sure it's not 100% word-for-word, but the sentiment is spot-on. What's your problem with his quotation?


When you assume there was malicious intent in misquoting someone, maybe you should check to see if it was intentional or not before attacking their entire argument. I edited my comment for accuracy, but it doesn't make it any less valid.


Who said anything about malicious intent? I just think it was a sloppy argument. The misquotation is (or was) a matter of fact.


It's more of a paraphrase than a misquote. Even if it was a misquote, there is nothing wrong with his factual argument nonetheless.

Also, if you are uncertain of who publishes the games you own, you can't outright deny connection with a publisher.
