EA and Maxis GM Lucy Bradshaw has posted a thank you note after support flooded in after the publisher decided to sue Zynga for what Bradshaw calls "their blatant copying of The Sims Social."
In an unusual twist, the oft despised publisher is getting support after making the decision to take on Zynga, a studio accused of copying/cloning games more than once (here's a good example if you want one).
Bradshaw's post is as follows:
Last week I posted a note to explain why I felt the need to pursue legal action against Zynga for their blatant copying of The Sims Social. The complaint is now on file in United States District Court in San Francisco.
This action definitely touched a nerve in the gaming community. The response from peers within the industry, EA and Maxis employees and players of not only The Sims but all games in support of EA's action was amazing and fast.
So here's another post to simply say Thank You. Your kind words and emotional support add strength to my conviction that we're doing the right thing.
