Ah, EA's sports games.

Reminds me of the reason they stopped releasing NHL on PC. People just manually updated the rosters(NHL 2004 has up-to-date rosters on PC Laughing), so they couldn't really sell the newer games on PC, and they just gradually watered them down till nobody bought them(to have a reason to stop releasing them on PC, I'm sure).

I wish the game could happen on consoles..

I don't disagree on any one point, I still think this is a dick move to simply repackage last year's game and add this year's roster, selling for the same triple A price.

As long as idiots are prepared to pay, it's great business; little investment and great return. Just ask Apple. Cool Face

Exactly, they kept releasing the PS2 version on PC till nobody bought it anymore. Laughing

(I think this was the last "PC" NHL game).
They tried to do the same with FIFA until the 2010 version, then they suddendly changed their minds because football is always profitable. Razz

Why don't we just all agree that all big publishers are cunts and get it over with. EA, Activision, Steam, Ubisoft - they all add crappy DRM to their games where you rely on a client or activation to play, and all their games will refuse to run in X years from now. In my book, that makes them all jack asses.

Not that I really care, have the most of the stuff on the 360, but still. They expect people to buy it like this? Very Happy

Essentially, they just included all ME2 dlcs that are already free (when you get cerberus pass with new game copy).

At least ME1 dlcs are free, but that's probably because they are unable to monetize them now.

It isn't the worst company there but it completely deserves all the shit that comes with that award.

But as seen in their pathetic statement by derper moore LGBT hat0rz are to blame for this award, of course. Laughing
Just like last year it were the people that liked happy endings since ME3's was so controversial (read: fucking stupid and mostly devoid of any logic).

So they haven't learned shit, as it was expected, and will continue fucking up and probably (and fortunately for the other shit companies in there) keep winning this award in the upcoming years.

Hehe true. Gamers own the internet though, so it's an inevitable result. Razz Bank of America is pure evil as well, has one of the worst track records of any bank ever (something like 20k+ official complaints), but these numbers pale if compared to the multitude of EA's pissed off consumers these days.
