No, it make me want to puke.

Do you mean under 16?

Meh, they are WAY worst than Activision

Touché... except EA has more influence because of Origin and the millions of other games it has.

Yeaaaaah!!!

That is what ea does to your soul.

B-but it's Battlefield so it is okay!

Exactly the reason why BF4 is bad in my opinion, exactly the reason why I struggle in buying BF4 ,even though I owned every single previous Battlefield title upon release.

This, it's like they are supposed to work for free and gift everything to everyone... (and with humble origin there were still complains...) Very few people would be actually capable of running a company without failing in a few months.

A(r)men

They are releasing DLCs better than the game itself.

No shit, Sherlock.

But the business practices are widely regarded as being fucking terrible. Pay full price at launch and only receive 1/3 of the game, rest you can get by paying the full price again. Sounds lovely, doesn't it? It's like going to a bar, ordering your drink and paying for it, and when you're about to drink it the bartender snatches it out of your hand and goes "You were thinking about drinking this? Sorry, but you have to pay extra for that"

Stating the obvious. Just like every other publisher or developer out there, but they don't throw shit in the faces of their customers/fans.

I always thinks its funny/sad that fanboys (cant be anyone else since its EA) defend them with 'it's a company' argument :x

But I like Call of Duty...

And then they do something like make the next Battlefront and everyone (including a good majority of people who "hate" EA) buy it up. Nothing will change as long as EA continue to release what people want, bad business practices or not.

Because it's a video game, we play it to escape real life.

Mainly because nearly all Battlefield players are Premium and EA probably killing everybody who owns Premium and talk shit about EA.

People forget all about these things whenever there is a remotely interesting looking game involved.
It's why videogaming is on such a gigantic slippery slope for privacy and DRM issues, and has such a bad history with companies belching out defective or half-finished products. As long as we feed them with money, they can continue as they see fit and just ignore the background hum of discontent. For every gamer who mindfully abstains from companies and titles that come with bad practices, there are at least ten that will eat it up without a second thought.

Shame, really.

Translation of the slogan:

BUY ZEH BONUS STUFF = HAVE ADVANTAGES/BIGGER PENIS

It is bassicly saying "Buy our stuff or fuck you".

I totally agree with you. BF2 was the most amazing thing and is still now !
As Call of Duty 2 is the best of the CoD serie.

But what if enjoy those games?

What's wrong with FIFA? IMO there's no better football (soccer for you americans) game. Yes, PES is good but it feels a bit to raw for me.

Indie games? Most of them belong to Kongregate in my opinion.

That's only because BF: Bad Company 1 & 2 came out in the interim.
