DICE tweak a certain other FPS developer...again pc

If this is not a cruel PR stunt, one can only imagine how delighted DICE were to receive a letter from "Edward" in the US, who sent them $US60 he was going to spend on "another game".

Why? Dedicated server support of course. Hell hath no fury like a PC gamer denied a good connection.

Wanted: community managers Gordon Van Dyke vs Robert Bowling on the UFC 105 undercard.

A thank you to Eddie J [Battlefield Blog]

I wonder if Edward is going to get some good stuff from DICE for his effort?

Aren't BC2 Dedicated Servers rental only from EA's commercial partners?

As in, we plebs won't be able to run our own but will have to rent them from EA approved vendors?

I was thinking the same thing, he should have typed that letter up...

True, but I think it's a little more sincere when it's handwritten.

Sincere...as long as it's not a PR stunt of course. The retardo writing seems too cute a touch IMO...a trifle suss.

Yeah I wouldnt really say that was bad handwriting.. most gamers in their mid 20's would have grown up with computers so I would say their hand writing wouldnt be much better.

As long as GA is one, what does it matter? You really want to host a server in your laundry?

If some company said they have dedicated PC servers just for Edward he would probably send them his car!
