Truth catches up with EA's empty OS X promise

Game developer EA has admitted that it was merely out to get a shiny press release when its said that it would launch OS X games on the same day as the Windows version.

Eaichio On Tuesday vnunet.com reported that EA had failed to launch OS X versions of several games. We tried to get comment from the game developer, but everybody was giving us the run-around.

This morning the company finally was prepared to bite the bullet. Somebody from EA's PR department admitted that the firm never intended to have simultaneous launches, but would merely try to narrow the gap between the Windows and OS X releases.

There is only one word for a company that promises one thing and then does another. And it’s the reason why companies like Enron and Worldcom are no longer in business.
