I've been conducting a campaign against WeGame for this egregious marketing/spamming ploy. Here's a tip to other companies considering taking advantage of people and hijacking their contact lists (which on Gmail is everyone you've ever emailed with) ---- Don't do it. We know exactly who you are, who funds you, and who to report you to. Perhaps WeGame assumed that the contact lists they would phish would only be gamers - and these people would be too busy to care. But unfortunately their campaign included me...and just like how gamers spend their every waking hour shooting zombie teletubbies, I am spending every waking hour thinking about how to make WeGame pay for these flagrant abuses and exploitation of the connectivity of the Web. They fucked with the wrong guy. Good reporting. I've been conducting a campaign against WeGame for this egregious marketing/spamming ploy.
