EA admits Lincoln City blunder in FIFA 11

MCV Staff 25th October 2010 Business News

Multi-national publishing behemoth EA is facing the wrath of The Imps after a gaffe in the recently released FIFA 11 saw League Two team Lincoln City hitting the pitch with last year’s strip and sponsor on show.

We are aware of this error and we apologise to the club, sponsor and fans and we are working towards a fix featuring new club sponsor, GoCar,” EA PR man Shaun White told This Is Lincolnshire.

In fact, EA’s response to the situation has impressed Lincoln City chief executive Dave Roberts.

While we are extremely disappointed for our new shirt sponsor GoCar, we have been impressed with the speed of the response from EA Sports. We understand they can provide an online update for the game, so it should be corrected.”

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
