EA is Darkness. That's it. O_O
Come to the Dark Side. o_O

Because they buy out successful studios and ruin their franchises. They also make themselves appear much, much greedier than any other publisher.

Its the cool thing to do some most just join in with out any reason :/

I would have bought ME3, BF3, (and Crysis 3 when it comes out), but I've had bad experiences with EA customer support, so I refuse to use Origin in case there are issues. Also, I'm tired of DLCs (not just EA doing this) and now I just buy GOTY or complete pack games, usually during a Steam sale. Heh.

EA was pretty leading in the first large push for DRM. SecuROM might ring a bell - a program that was designed to make your game fail to launch if you didn't connect it to the internet every 10 days. It also had a bunch of more legitimate issues with compatibility with people's computers, rendering them unable to play a massively awaited game not because the game wouldn't run but because the added security measure wouldn't run. Mass Effect (1) was actually easier to obtain and run as a pirated version for the average consumer than the genuine article. Then there was the whole "Origin scans all your files" debacle. People can deny that one as much as they want, but the fact is EA was legally required to change the software for a German release due to this.

That being said, I'll still buy a game I want even if EA published it. And apparently Origin in its current form is much better - though I still have it running in a sandbox just in case

The Mass Effect 3 ending fiasco didn't help, but i still love the franchise.

"...Challenge Everything!"
The first thing that came to mind when I read the title...oh those were the times...

"Mod tools for Battlefield 3? Fuck that, let's murder our greatest franchise and take a page from Activision's DLC book, willingly causing the death of our games so they have to buy the next installation!"

I hate their DLC bs. I like Sims 3, but buying it with the DLCs made me pay 130$ or more as far as I remember (ON DISCOUNT). The support is helpful sometimes but when their stupid servers were hacked a month ago and someone tried to take my user, all they could say was "Change the password" I was looking like this :S "seriously????"
Not all of their games are bad and I bought the ones that I have for 5-10$ max "except for sims3 of course" but the other games are going down soooo fast it's just annoying looking at them. Have you looked at NFS series lately ? there are games that I didn't even get to play due to their deadlines. I got no time to play them before seeing the new one few months later out in the markiet with tons and tons of bugs and glitches "which they don't fix very fast". They should learn from other companies. Look at Konami for example, they have been advertising MGSR for years now and currently another MGS :P "I hate to wait" but it's to provide a perfect product. Capcom with RE6 too is a good example. Microsoft with the tons of rumors about a AOE4 for years. With EA I don't remember hearing a rumor. I buy a game and few months later a sequence is out or a DLC and is costing a full game price "19.99-59.99 or more" that's a big bowl of "&^%(^(^&&^RB^ & &^^&^(*^ (**& "
Honestly, with their prices I don't recommend buying anything from them unless you got the greatest deal ever. stic to only activating your cheap bought games at origin just to make sure you can download it from their servers too and can keep annoying them every now and then :P

^A lot of blah blah blah

EA is a killer.

"infact you should knell for them for making awesome games."

Next you'll be telling me to do other stuff while I am kneeling to them....O_O.

I kneel to no one, not even Zod!

EA Shit
