Serious Talk - What The F-word EA.

Destroyed the Ultima series with the abomination called Ultima 9 and finally killed dungeon keepers with that mobile app...I hate EA

They ruined the Mass Effect series as well and pretty much own BioWare now, what a shame.

Westwood Pacific developed or co-developed games like Nox and Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, which takes place in an alternate universe to that of the original title Command & Conquer.

And this is why using Wikipedia as a source, is not always a good idea.

While it is technically true, it is a heavily coloured statement.

Of course C&C Red Alert 2 is set in a different univers than the Original C&C. The original C&C is set in the Tiberium Universe, while Red Alert 2 is set in.... The Red Alert universe! What a surprise there!
Red Alert was the first game in that series, and that was before EA acquired Westwood.

I don't know what purpose exactly it serves to have that line in the wikipedia article, except for implying somehow that that studio created something 'untrue to the series' or something along those lines. While the universe itself was actually created by the original Westwood.

They most let them do these stuff...

True dat!
Solution right here, folks! Don't buy their shit! Don't even buy anything from them! (Origin 3rd party titles)
Buy them on Steam instead.

The last time I bought an EA game was in the Humble Origin Bundle

+1, stopped to buy them 2 years ago. PPl, at least stop buying games on ORIGIN, that will hurts them a lot.

So long as they make money, they will continue to turn a blind eye to facts. After all, they still haven't overturned certain parts of the Origin EULA that is causing people to refuse to use their platform. When researching how well Origin was received, they cited that there were just as many origin-users as there were old EADM users... neglecting to mention (or realise) that all old accounts were automatically transferred. These kinds of machines can't be reasoned with, and so long as there are people who don't google gaming news and are willing to eat up every full-priced thing they release, EA won't really change their ways.

But that would require people to actually have a spine?

Also since this is relevant here I believe.

This is the type of bullshit that makes me glad that I pirated most of the EA games have.Hell,I almost bought a DE of ME3.Dodged a goddamn bullet there.

I'm not buying EA games for a long time now. The last titles that I got were ME2, DA:Origins and BF3. Was unhappy with the 2 of them, and it's not origins that I'm talking about.

The f-word is a joke on my behalf. Not a funny one, though.

And here's the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gt9LWgua5QY

No, but youtube can, and they have a track record for bending over backwards and doing really dumb stuff on behalf of random individuals/companies. Depending on how long ago the video was uploaded, it wouldn't surprise me too much. Remember a few years back they just muted all audio on a video if it had more than a few seconds of copyrighted backing music to it?

What's it to you, you pissing fucknugget?

;)

no pool? how i'm suposed to kill my sims now?

Pools will come in time. First the holes DLC, then the water DLC, then pool tiles DLC, and finally pool ladder DLC.

After you buy them all for a low combined price of $40, you will be able to construct a pool (although you will need to purchase the yes I can swim!!! DLC for $15 in order to actually use the pool).

Toddlers coming with The Sims©® 5 2015..... ™

Really? Bahahah, oh man, that's golden.
I expected them to 'forget' to add all the stuff they added before (weather, spiral/modular staircases, elevators, school phases), but pools? Man. Back-pedaling at the speed of light~

who are you to tell anyone to "shut up" in the first place?! yep you know what... do whatever

Their support is doing a job they are payed to do you say? Color me impressed.

Although I don't hate them as every other person, I don't exactly like companies who push out a season pass or a ton of payed DLC with every game they release.

There are a plethora of reasons to hate EA. Do a little of your own opinion forming and research (along with some independant critical thought), before trying to shut others down. There are enough comments here with entirely valid points made and argumentation backing them up - aside from the say-nothing "fuck EA" comments - for starters.

Good for you?

nice job! Let's boycott EA and maybe they'll become bankrupt finally

Isn't the joke that everyone who purchase an EA game is a pirate? Because the pirated copy versions are the only ones that work properly?

I don't ever recall hearing about Activision having parody videos replaced by actual adverts on youtube though-

But Activision is still tons better than EA. They both ruined franchises, I agree. But by listening to costumers, Activision are much better.

Shush, Khalaq. Don't interrupt the circlejerk with logic.

Nope, I watched it a few times after it was uploaded plus I have a few dislikes, I guess from fanboys.

EA are not affiliated the government, and EA cannot do anything they like when one of their products is mentioned, unless enabled by a more relevant authority to do so. If I say the words "Battlefield four!" sat in my own home, EA can't come into my house and force me to recite an advertisement for their latest product. :V

Pretty much, youtube is going to get to the stage of pissing off too many of their users they will just jump onto an alternative.

BECAUSE I'M MADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
