Re: My Rant Against EA
Welcome to free market gaming. EA fucking blows. But then I have passionately been saying that for years. Online console gaming has improved a bit, but even back when Xbox Live first came out I was really perplexed that people were willing to pay for content (well...and a service like Xbox Live...which is like AOL for console gaming). As a long-time PC gamer I am pretty appalled. But this is capitalism at work. Developers have found a market. People who buy console games are willing to spend money on software upgrades or buy a new Madden every year or sink money into a a patch that provides content that should have been available at launch for free.
EA has fucked up in the PC community too. The latest Sims title apparently has a ton of unavailable content that you need to purchase separately. Totally unacceptable, especially when you consider the Sims niche...a bunch of 10-year old girls who will have their parents pay tons of money for content. Therefore I fully support pirating the latest Sims title, and fuck EA.
But I have always said fuck EA. I have a long history of saying that. EA is good as a publisher, but when they develop games 99% of them are shit. They also have implemented some of the lamest DRM as of late.
