Did Amazon Delete Spore Reviews? [Updated]
Want to know how not to respond to criticism? By deleting it. Yet it appears that’s what Amazon has done. Earlier this week we wrote about the controversy of EA’s decision to put cumbersome DRM on the highly anticipated video game, Spore. The response was that thousands of people started posting one-star reviews of Spore, noting the problems with the DRM. Things then got worse when people realized that EA had misled customers about the fact that they could only have one user account on Spore.
Now, a bunch of people have noticed that Amazon appears to have deleted all of the reviews on the Spore page. This is only going to end badly. When you try to shut down a large group of people who feel wronged, you’re not just whacking the bees’ nest with a stick, you’re setting it on fire with a flame thrower.
