>>22174808>In 2012 a gay romance subplot or something is included in Star Wars The Old Republic>EA claims to be subjected to a boycott and hate campaign because of it; sets up a support counter campaign for themselves on a third party site>Except on that site the support messages are public, and it becomes apparent that EA is massively botting them with repeating comments, user name/country combinations that were probably randomized, and outright malfunctioning scriptsThis was not the first time they pulled a stunt like that by the way.
