> It was "EA pride and accomplishment" bad

It's funny you refer to Reddit because that's also historically well known for pile-on behavior. Why do you think features such as "hiding vote count for the first few hours" exist? It's been shown that the very first few votes you get can result in the same comment either being downvoted to hell or upvoted.

So if the EA accident was your reasoning for why having dislikes is a good idea, then you really just proved my point, as that too was mostly a meme and perfect proof of pile-on behavior.

> So if the EA accident

Apparently you seem to be in agreement with the group piling on that the contents of the post were bad, otherwise why call it an accident?

> as that too was mostly a meme and perfect proof of pile-on behavior.

So you are saying if it hadn't been a meme most gamers would have up voted a post saying they should feel good from having to spend more on an already full price game?
