With many gamers feeling wronged by EA and Dice for taking a different approach to Battlefront with their Star Wars Battlefront, some controversy were almost bound to hit. Today reports tell of a rather embarrassing thing happening to EA. The publisher has failed to register the domains for eastarwars.com and eastarwarsbattlefront.com, and some anonymous person has been able to buy them right under EA's nose.
Now the addresses leads to pages claiming Star Wars Battlefront is cancelled. On 4chan's /v/ boards, the user wrote that they want to "extort EA into eventually forking over some money", and we assume they hope EA will pay to get the domains. Even though the official Twitter for the game is EAStarWars, the official address for the game is built like with all EA games, www.starwars.ea.com. We believe none of you were particularly worried, but if you were, don't.
Of course, we're not sure how important those rather cumbersome addresses are for EA to hold. And if the squatters actually care about the features of the game.
