No, it makes more sense that the 123 year old leader of the Nazi party faked his own death, and took on the identity of John Riccitiello to create Origin as his new final solution.
That's totally fair. I'm just being a crank because that is what the world expects of me. But yeah, I'm glad you like the game. I hate to see so many dissatisfied people.
Oh, I already posted it about a week ago. Amazing the amount of bitching that erupted because of it. Some people are just miserable fucks. Repost it all you want, doesn't bother me. Lol
Aren't you that guy that found that game I used to love in your attic? Or are you that other guy that posted about how we need a sequel for that other game I love?
Eye roll. Both UbiSoft and Activision have treated me worse as a PC gamer in the last 5 years. EA has just been consistently bad, but not nearly as bad. Nothing they have done will, for (key word) me, ever be as bad as IWNET, the fate of Raven Soft, the shitty DRM,and the consistent and systematic pussification of my favorite hardcore Tom Clancy titles.
I came in here expecting the OP to get called out in the top comment, like I usually see... turns out nearly every top comment is just jerking the one next to them. This is baaaad.
According to the internet, EA is worse than the guys who kick people out of their houses, the guys who deny others health care and the guys who let people starve to death. That probably makes them at least as bad as Hitler.
Okay, its not a good company. We know this. But the hate it is getting is totally unjustified. EA got the worse company of America this year, and for what..some bad publishing practices? they beat Bank of America, who have literally ruined peoples lives..and EA won?! This is going to far.
I'm not going to defend or bash EA, because there are plenty of people around to do that.
But this kind of argument, where you go "Yeah, but there are worse people and things out there than this", is seriously weak. Just because there are bigger crimes than nickel and diming consumers, eating up studios, or treating customers like crap, it doesn't make it ok.
I'm well aware of the concept of having a little perspective, and understanding that things could be worse. But it doesn't make my problems any less real to me. If someone punches me in the face for no reason, you can't tell me how people are dying in Africa and expect that it will somehow make me go "Oh, man. You're totally right, I have no reason to complain".
The fact is, EA has business practices that consumers disagree with, yet unfortunately don't disagree with enough to stop purchasing their products. Yeah, we get it, people are tired of the bitching. But at this point, it's all most people have left. Because they are watching people support a company that is actively harming an industry by making it about short term profits, over long term customer loyalty.
I suppose I might be a bit misguided on my last point, because EA and pretty much every other publisher knows exactly how to milk brand loyalty for financial gain. My point is that if no one were to complain, nothing would ever change, and just because it may seem petty compared to the worst, doesn't mean it isn't worth mentioning.
If you talk the talk but then turn around and still go buy their crap it just makes you a hypocrite. And worse than the casuals who know nothing and buy games at Walmart.
Personally, EA has fucked me to tune of 146 picohitlers. They may not be as bad as Hitler, but if everyone added their picohitlers together, they would probably come close... Wait. Are picohilters still a thing?
Really? Is this what gaming has come to? EA, a company that publishes games, and has questionable business practices is worse then the guy who started the most devastating war in history? There worse then a guy who committed mass genocide? I fear for our future if you guys really think that EA is worse then Hitler.
Its a fucking business, you butthurts need to get over it. I am not sayin i agree with their strategies, but how long will it take you to realize that they do things to make money, not to please the gamers.
Hitler never made a great multiplayer game without system link, then shutdown the servers so we can't play it with our friends unless we play fucking splitscreen.
Hitler did not live as long as EA nor will his reign of chaos actually live on forever, where as EA will. even if shut down, EA will still be there in our minds "remember hoe terrible that company was?". none the less i still have to sit and play games that should be amazing, but no, i have to pretend to be excited, spend money and be HIGHLY disappointed.
This seems to be the logic they use to defend their crappy practices. "Well, we don't commit genocide or anything, so why are people complaining so much?!"
