Dante’s Inferno Publicity Reveals EA Sins
If you were reading any sort of gaming news, you may have heard that there was a Dante’s Inferno protest outside of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. The protest seemed to be organized by religious protestors, who were against Visceral Games, Dante’s Inferno. But now, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Brochures handed out by the protesters addressed you to a site, called http://wearesavedgroup.org/. What’s interesting is that the site was registered on June 1st 2009, one day before the start of the E3 convention. The site was also registered through Domains by Proxy, which allows you to register a site without disclosing your identity.
Also, the site appears to be promoting the game, which features a video of gameplay, a link to the official site, and a link to the trailer. EA has been contacted, but has not responded. Stay tuned on PlayStation LifeStyle for all the details.

Uhhh….watching this just makes me want to actually buy it. I wasn’t considering on even giving this game a chance, but after watching this, I’ll know I’ll buy it and enjoy every single second of it. I’m sick of these religious zealots forcing their believes up people’s asses.
These people need to understand that EA is not pushing anything on them. If you don’t like what the game represents, don’t buy it. They have no reason to romp around making fools out of themselves and making other religious people look bad.
(BTW, I bet $10 that guy at the end is homo)
That is probably the exact response that was intended by this type of viral marketing, good job on falling for it. j/k this game is interesting enough to bring out the zealots I wonder where they are?
LMAO An old guy was holding a sign that said “Trade in your Playstation for a Praystation”.
man that guy is such a tool! what on earth is going on in his head?
assuming this was real…
Cue the REAL protesters, protesting fake protesting of Dante’s Inferno.
lol
EA is laming for doing this viral marketing thats so obviou, i mean any of those real protesters wouldnt focus so much on sporting the EA logo even if they were attacking them, but what angers me is that by doing so they make regular christians such as I look foolish.
i cant wait to go play hell as a game.
HAIL SATAN..HAIL HAIL HAIL…!!
Oh, boy… religious fanatics… “Look at me! Look at me! I’m going to heaven and you’re going to hell”. Give it a rest.
Epic, I now have some love for EA.
