Damn them for taking EA-land.

The website looks like it was made by a three year old armed with crayons. Which may explain who is buying these games.

Funny, I always thought that EA-land would be the equivalent of hell.

Comic Sans is the ugliest, worst, and most unprofessional font.  Reading anything written in Comic Sans makes me upset and makes the author look like a full fledged retard.

Yeah, that's you "MaxisLuc"!

Why would they switch from a name like The Sims Online, an instantly recognizable franchise millions of people know that isn't in any danger of going sour to EA-Land? Doesn't seem smart.

I hope they all burn in hell in either case, so it makes little difference to me.  But seriously, that's the worst name I've ever heard for a game.  Ever.

I think they imagine themselves to be the Disney of video game entertainment.

That's basically what they are.  Giant, evil, worthless, and all painted over with a nice candy-coated facade.

Even EA's Sims Online sounds better than EA-Land.

EA-Land just sounds like another EA game development studio, not a damn game.

I had forgotten you hate Disney too.
