Divinity: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature

Joystiq, a popular gaming blog, has a post up about how EA has handled a potentially embarassing situation surrouding their video game Tiger Woods ‘08 that cropped up on YouTube. Youtube user Levinator25 discovered an issue where Tiger Woods could walk on water, allowing him to make the “jesus shot.” Levinator25 uploaded a video of what he assumed to be a glitch in the game. Check out EA’s response:

Brilliant move.

This is sooo clever from EASports…

And such a free viral advertising for us, anyway, on this one, they deserve it !

That was an awesome move by EA sports. In the 2005 computer game the opening credits show Tiger skipping a ball across the water and onto the green. (check out the link below)

I guess walking on water was the natural progression.
