Assuming Australia has defamation laws similar to Britain, it's likely that this guy has defamed the company (disclaimer: i'm not a British barrister).

Completely apart from whether or not he has done anything legally actionable (I'd certainly prefer to believe he hasn't), some of the things he says are pretty stupid.

"When you play the game, just about everything in the game can be obtained by paying instead of playing. A blatantly exploitative business model never seen before."

Really? I mean, really really?

Edit: And his Is Evony Malware article approaches true sleaziness:

Quote:
"Now I am not saying that Evony has a trojan in its client software. This would take proper technical investigation. What I am saying is that the possibility of this being so is such that I would not let Evony anywhere near my computer. These people have already spammed the internet like crazy and stolen most of their game content, with behaviour like this I would not put anything past them."
I've read that paragraph a lot in other web sites this summer. Except instead of being about Evony, it was written like: "Now I am not saying that Barack Obama was actually born in Kenya and wants to destroy America. That would take a long investigation. What I am saying is that it's suspicious that he has not blah blah blah blah communist."

Note: I don't play Evony, I never will, and I fucking hate their pig fucking advertisements. But this guy is an idiot.
