EA Whitewashes SimGuru_FR’s post too.

honeywellsims4news:

Yesterday’s deletion of SimGuruSarah’s tweets wasn’t the only whitewashing going on it seems.  The post last month by SimGuru_FR was quietly edited two days later.  It removes any mention of  “The Sims 4 team is completely mismanaged” layoff debacle (which his post was in response to), along with the mention of The Sims 4 postponement, and the promise of more news in a few weeks. 

What does any of that means?  We don’t know because EA couldn’t be bothered to tell us.  The original post and the edited version (for comparison) are available under the fold.

This is becoming quite the habit for EA.  Here’s a list of some posts (I’m sure there’s more that I don’t know about) that were changed or are no longer available:

• The Sims 4 Team is Completely Mismanaged —Jace Wallace’s twitter account deleted.

• New Sims 4 news coming in a “few weeks” —SimGuru_FR’s post edited.

• The Sims 4 September 2014 — Lucy Bradshaw’s blog post edited; date changed from September to Autumn.

• Just how much of The Sims 4 is going to be online anyway? —Tweet no longer available; Brian Bell’s twitter account changed to private.

• Sim Guru Sarah Holding acknowledges our frustration and promises news soon. — Tweets deleted.

Nobody likes sneaky behavior, EA.  If you need to correct or delete misinformation — especially information that’s already been disseminated — don’t delete it and pretend it never happened!  Make a correction and let people know about it.  Anything else is really unacceptable. FFS.

This is our job as fans. We have to keep track of this stuff and hold them accountable for their actions. EA is such a mess…
