Thread: Evony press release

  1. #1

    Default Evony press release

    I read the press release that is posted in these forums the part that stood out the most to me was this line:

    Evony’s attorneys said Bruce Everiss’ attacks have caused significant damage to the company’s brand and the gaming experience for Evony’s users and millions of fans around the world.


    I dont know who this guy is that they are sueing and I`ve never read the alleged slanderous bolg post but I have read these forums and it seems to me that if evony has sustained "significant damage" to their brand name and gaming experience I doubt that it was caused by a blog post from some unknown blogger. More than likely the alleged damage was caused from the never ending unresolved issues that players have with the game.
    The tens of thousands of posts in the harrasment,tech support,bugs and game suggestion forums is glaring proof that people are very dissatisfied with the direction this game is taking and absence of player support from Evony.

    In all of the "I`m quitting" posts I have read in these forums I have not seen anyone say they are quitting because of a blog post they read by some unknown blogger posting a bad review of this game.All of the "I`m quitting" posts contain complaints about something evony did or did not do.
    It seems to me that any significant damage done to the game and the evony brand name is of their own making. Attempting to blame others for your own mistakes and failings is just ______.
    (fill in the blank with your own choice of words because the words I want to
    put in the blank will get me banned,drawn and quartered/tarred and feathered)

    Forrest.

    Don't you know a lawyer's hyperbole when you see one?

    They have to put the strongest case possible to the judge/jury. It's part of any trial process. The bigger the claim, the more likely satisfactory end result.

    hence why I hate lawyers......... Oh crap, why did my brother have to sell his soul and become 1 too? lol. But yeah, lawyers are well....... a strange breed.


    A man might not be able to move a mountain, yet he will accomplish nothing if he never tries.




    Well, I'm tired of these forums. Very little humor in them anymore. Adios all.

    Now, now, now...

    They perform an essential function. I personally tend to like them. They are usually (NOT always!...) bright, articulate people. And some do fight for "the good cause".

    lawyers can be annoying yet they serve (some of them) serve a good purpose. Lawyers are the ppl who defend your rights and in some cases help other ppl. Lawyers also help put criminals in jail.

    Lawyers also defend the rights of criminals and keep them out of jail. They're not good or bad..they're jus' intermediaries.

    As for bein' on-topic, Wildor pretty much nailed it. Not much would happen if they went to court and said "Well..he was like..mean and stuff..." that'll jus' waste their time/money. Claimi'n that he's injured millions, attacked a game brand and cost them customers and money will get the guy hung.

    On that note, since they're actually goin' to the efforts of suiin' him and puttin' all the money into doin' it, w/e this guy said must have been pretty harsh...I'm sure I coudl sit here and slander Evony all I wanted and the worst I'd get is a forum ban so this guy must really have hit a nerve....
    Truthfully I'm curious to read it to see what's bothered them this much.

    I read it.
    There are a number of blogs on his site that are anti-evony.
    Not much of it has any basis in reallity.
    The worst is an attack on the Queen of Evony competition which includes copies of photos of some of the ladies who entered.
    I doubt if he bothered to ask for their permission to use those images.

    Release the hounds.
    PEACE

    Jus' read them all..there was a good few.
    Yeah, I can see why Evony are so furious w/ this guy.
    That's beyond anti-Evony that's jus' blog meets flamefest...personally I don't see the side of it that's meant to be comin' from a professional journalist..jus' the side of some guy who hates the game a bit too much and wanted to rant.

    I agree about the Queen of Evony post...he put that all up in a very deliberate way...and ofc had no right to be usin' those images w/o permission...I wonder if that'll come up in court...
