The offical Go **** yourself EA Thread

It must be an easy job to make yearly updates.
 
The games industry has changed alot recently. It is not so much a slave trade, people generaly work 9-5 like any other person. Perhaps you don't relize how hard it is to produce games bug free?!

At the end of the day if you look through your games im sure a shead load of them are EA, not nessercelery developed by EA but they publish alot, and if they didnt you wouldnt be playing alot of your favorate games.

how does that change the fact that they're screwing with their customers?

I know how hard it is to get a game to work pretty much bug free but come on, they could just push the release date to spend more time doing beta testing and fixing major bugs.
 
They are trying to make money and i think overall customers are happy... tbh I'm abit annoyed with Battle field patches but from what i am to understand thats up to dice.. not EA.
 
yes, **** you EA

EA has bought out, then destroyed some of my favourite developers amongst other things.
 
Many small developers that EA buy up would go down any way. Having one hit dosn't make a company. The money comes from the publishers and if they don't want somthing you are screwed. If anything EA would be helping those small developers keep running but of course there are going to be deadlines, if there wasn't nothing would get done.

From my understanding many small developers will make one game, scrap the company and start again under a new development team, this gets rid of their debts and dosnt put publishers off.
 
 
I'd rather shit out a goose 10,000 times before I'll give my god damned money to EA ever again.
 
The Spore issue is interesting indeed but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. Otherwise I'm going to have no problem whatsoever not buying games published by EA.

Indeed. If EA themselves make the game, it's pretty shitty most of the time. Their extra shit-influences on developers just add to the crapcake.

First off, you are going to be very dissapointed when you into the industry if you think 9-5 is normal. Secondly, most developers and publishers want their name to be associated with high quality products, not buggy peices of shit. Most places will delay the game to take care of major issues... EA will be the first to tell people to "release it, its good enough for our dumbass customers"

EA is not good to their customers, and thats why we hate them.

agreed ..we also cant punish developers who have no say in what EA does with their game ..I wouldnt not buy HL2: EP2 just because it's being published by EA ..I'll just buy it on steam :)




you could always just warez EA games that are made in house

Westwood wasn't a small developer.
 
its great to see im far from the only person who thinks EA eats dick.
 
I'm so torn, EA made one of my favourite games: Generals (read: NOT Command & Conquer)
 
Ok, stop bitching already. Just stop buying their games. For the PC folk, just illegally download their games if you cannot resist playing the game. Hit them where it really hurt (wallet), not swearing pointlessly on forums.

Also, beat up all and any friend/person/family member who buys those annual EA sports games. If you think you can get away with it, kill them. There is something retarded in buying the same game with slightly different graphics and gameplay every year.
 
EA came to my university (UF) to recruit. I went to the little seminar thingy they were holding, because even though I hate them, I was interested in seeing what a game company would say to college students looking for employment.

I was impressed that they admitted to the EA Spouse thing, and that they had a lot of problems in the employee morale area. Of course, they said they already knew about the problems before they were publicized, and everything's pretty much utopian by now.

They also addressed the message board hate, especially how everyone says they're completely devoid of innovation. Not true, they said! EA doesn't just make yearly iterations of sports games, they also have original franchises like the Sims! and C&C Generals! and Spore!!! I found this incredibly amusing, since not only did they buy these franchises, they then went on to systematically suck out any innovation they might have once had. The Sims is practically a yearly franchise itself by now, and you know if Spore's successful they're going to milk it until it's shriveled up and worthless.

The great irony of the whole thing was that, as usual, it all boiled down to wooing people with money. In a room of about 50 people, TEN people won raffle prizes. And these were prizes like XBOX 360 and recent PC games.

I won the Sims 2.

Woo.
 
I also despise EA, the last goodness I got out of them was Medal Of Honour : Allied Assault. How long ago was that.

Ever since then, all they've done is cash in on everything possible.

Go **** yourself and disappear completely EA :angry:
 
I hate EA but the games they bring out sometimes... so... tempting... C&C:Generals and the Sims 2 are both on my PC and pimped out with a million expansion packs (that is to say, one and three respectively).

I feel like such a traitor...


(***k EA)
 
EA you're bad, go sit in a corner. :(...

...









and die.

Rofl. What a load of poo-poo.
 
EA can do whatever it wants, and people will still buy their games, and they'll have more money than me, or any of you.


And there is nothing you can do about it, because there always will be people who buy their games, and um, no, you can't go throw molotovs at their office buildings.
 
We could suicide bomb their central office in Vancouver.

Is that a typo? Nice work on generals, huh?

EA killed westwood...RIP.
RA3: Dead. Renegade 2: Certified. Generals: What the... Twllight: Gone.

I need a headcrab airstrike ASAP on the EA headquarters! [/sarcasm]
 
What EA for C&C:
Renegade (Although the multiplayer is fun the story is a pile of crap and contradits TS and TD alot)
Generals (This admitadly my favourite C&C game but this in its core, is not a C&C game. It's a different game with the name C&C tagged on)
 
That fat twinky stuffing, snot congested challenge everything kid goes on the fire first, DAMMIT
