C&C: Renegade --> Dying since 2003™, resurrected in 2024!
Microsoft is one of the biggest things in the world, and tons of people hate it long with windows EA games is a big gaming company and many people hate them and other ones I have heard I cannot remember why is this so?
people hate big business because they have small penises it's a proven fact actually when shit gets too big it gets more cliche and mainstream and a lot of people find that boring and shitty some people listen to indie music which i think sucks ass but to them it's great because it's not what everyone else is listening to also big things make people feel small and they either feel threatened by them or get jealous of them because they cannot compete all that or i actually know nothing at all but at least the first part is true Have a nice day
I like EA and semi-like Microsoft. (Maybe if they didn't charge me double the amount for Xbox live and then continue to charge me until I bought another month...) However, as said above, especially in the gaming industry, the more companies you control, the more fans you have to please, and thus the more generic "everyone gets what they want" kind of games come out.
I don't mind people hating them but they need to be consequent and not use any objects/services they make then. That includes not pirating them, of course.
people don't like microsoft, or more-over, Windows because they're dumb and can't work computers. people don't like EA because of R315r4z0r's second point
Big companies most likely think: "We have our name, we have our fame, we can release whatever we want for the price we ask, people will buy it." Also, sometimes they even force their own creations into their releases. Microsoft inherits their own browser IE7 in Vista, they inherit Media Player etc. Though Winamp is proven to be better than WMP and Firefox is better than IE7. They're just a big bunch of jackasses which are only out on MONEY.
I have no issues with Microsoft, their products are generally of a high quality and fairly stable. Their Visual Studio line of products in particular are very impressive and I have yet to find any other IDE which rivals it in terms of integration and usability. Most of Microsofts products are let down by third party code, particularly their operating systems. Vista in particular is plagued with buggy or non existant driver support from hardware manufacturers, and often gets the blame for things which are not actually it's fault, such as poorly written drivers and applications. People are too quick to lay the blame at Microsofts door because it happens to be the most obvious target to blame. As for EA, I object to their treatment of the C&C franchise and their continued efforts to completely and utterly destroy everything it once stood for. However their other games are often very good (even if, sadly too often, heavily laden with DRM) and I have no intention of boycotting their entire product portfolio.
Alot of big busineses revolve around making profit. As far as I know one of the reasons why EA brough out Westwood and other companies was in order to increase its profiting potential. I used to work for Morrisons when I did A levels. There was alot of things wrong with the place but they were not willing to do anything about it due to the fact that they would be spending more money. Since the Business(system) was already working they felt they need not spend their profits so they could be the most profitable supermarket in the UK. I have no problem with Microsoft, I think their products and customer service are satisfying. So the point im trying to make is that alot of big businesses have the aim to make profit and that they are so willing to do this to the point that hurting peoples feelings or ruining something else is not an issue that should be addressed. ie EA buying out Westwood and Taking C&C away from them.
Their monopol abuse sucks alot, Microsoft is the best example.

I mostly dislike large companies because they often have little competition when they get too big, ruining innovation. And what little innovation there is, is very slow. Wheras when you have a ton of smaller companies (Rather, companies all on the same level), they all compete to create a better product. 'Tis the basis of capitalism, and it works quite well. Until the company gets TOO big, that is. Thankfully, the nature of revolt is also in our nature, so when a company gets too big, people bash it to keep it under control, much like how alot of C&C fans bash EA. It's not exactly the best choice or the most intelligent, but it's somewhat necessary to keep EA in line. Otherwise, we'll continue getting shitty games. As for Microsoft, I'm kind of indifferent to them. They DO have plenty of great products, and for being one of the largest companies in the world, they have a TON to manage, so I can sympathize with them not being able to please everyone. But, on the other hand, things like Vista and such have little to no excuse to have been released.

Why would people complain that a company released THEIR OWN PRODUCT and incorporate other parts of it WITH THERE OWN PRODUCT. Thats kind of umm... fucking obvious. Also "proven to be better" . NO. your wrong. Which application to use is a preference, not a proven fact. I personally like WMP a lot more then winamp, and find firefox slow at opening. So, i use IE becuase it is my PREFERENCE. But seriously who would have thought of the idea of NOT advertising your competition...yes.. big bad microsoft.
Have the people who keep going on about how Microsoft shouldn't bundle IE with Windows given any thought to how exactly they would go about downloading their browser of choice WITHOUT having an existing browser to get to said browsers website with? In that respect it's absolutely essential that Microsoft include a browser with their operating system, otherwise nobody could get online. Personally, I use IE to go and download Firefox. That's my personal preference. But if it wasn't available to me, how on earth would I get Firefox in the first place? One thing I would like is the ability to easily UNinstall it later on mind you. I don't hear anyone complaining about Apple bundling Safari with their operating system.

The best reason I can think of is that, when a company reaches a certain critical mass, it no longer needs to ask its customers what they want... instead, it begins telling its customers what they want. Smaller businesses depend more heavily on the good graces of their customers, and are thus more strongly compelled to provide quality services in order to retain those customers. Big business knows that it can do just about whatever it damn well pleases and, unless it gets really unlucky, enough people will buy the product anyway because it is cheaper or more widely known. I don't *really* hate the business for being what it is; I hate the customers for not being smart or motivated enough to force it to change. I strongly dislike certain companies, but in the end they're really just looking out for their own skins. The customers are responsible for creating an environment in which parasitic, unethical businesses may thrive and grow rather than dying on the vine.
People are to dumb and/or ignorant to think on their own. Look at all the vista haters. Every one of them is a mindless twat who jumped on the band wagon.
Windows does have its problems, but I don't *hate* Microsoft for it. I think Microsoft is doing a fairly good job, if it were Sony in their place instead, my operating system probably would not last for longer than a week.

They're just a big bunch of jackasses which are only out on MONEY. They do that because it's standard. You can't really expect them to not include any browser with Vista, because that would make it a lot more difficult for people to access websites. FireFox isn't their product, and it's probably illegal in some way for Vista to use it as a standard. Same goes for Windows Media Player. It's standard on Windows. Also, you can't really "prove" that one product is better than another, that's just too biased. Just because you happen to prefer those things over Vista's standard programs, doesn't mean it's wrong for them to be using these products. What most of everyone else here is saying pretty much sums it up. Large companies yearns to please everyone, so they have to pretty much desperately try and release things that makes everyone happy, which never really works.

Vista worked surprisingly well at launch compared to the last major consumer operating system Microsoft released (Yes, I'm talking about XP)
Yeah, XP was pretty damn glitchy when first released too, although the difference is that Vista still is pretty buggy. Even without the bugs, compatibility sucks, and there's too many workarounds to get stuff to work IMO. Sadly, as I said before, the hatred and bashing of Vista is somewhat necessary, otherwise they'd probably not be working on Windows 7. Believe it or not, the bashing and such is necessary to make a better product out of a mega monopoly company.

Vista is still too much of a system hog, has too many backwards-compatibility issues, and still includes too much DRM and too much handholding. That's why I bash it, not because of the bandwagon- because, while it functions smoothly now, it is still a bad product. In my own humble opinion. But that's another thread. Several of them, actually. To its credit, Microsoft is very diligent about patching, and I can't recall ever having been charged for anything that should have been free. XP, as wonky as it was back when it came out, is running like a finely tuned perpetual motion machine these days; I haven't had a hiccup that wasn't caused by third-party software or user error for years now. They also used to make some damn fine joysticks, and I've never found a mouse that made my hand happy quite like the IME3. Big business does, quite often, get it right- but they just as often get it wrong, and when they do they're more likely to try to smooth over the failure than admit to it and try something different. They (big buisiness in general, not just MS) also like to release similar products over and over with minor tweaks and changes- which is what EA is mainly guilty of. For examples of that, you need only look as far as The Sims or any of their licensed sports titles. Toymakers do this a lot as well, especially the ones who are big on dolls- they'll release a particular set of clothing that may only be had through the purchase of a whole new doll rather than as part of an accessory pack. You see a lot less of that kind of thing with smaller companies and independently-owned companies because they have to constantly innovate or get plowed under. On the other hand, much of the reason why smaller companies tend to be more innovative is because the larger ones aren't; if they didn't have that giant steamroller chugging along at their heels they might not be so motivated to move forwards.
My biggest gripe is that i actually worked for a big business... GE was the company and not many companis are bigger than they are. While I apreciated the work and their investment in my community a very alarming trend has developed within the site I worked at as well as other electronic manufacturing companies. GE was the worst as they took imported labor off the boats from communists countries and actually made them "Specialists", instead of the more revelant term "Communists" which basically means crporate spys, not the corporate spys u r thinking of but rather spys who spy on and tattle constantly on their co workers. Luckily I got out of that corporation 3 yrs ago and am now unemployed but can at least move around freely without holding my breath and go to the store with out some GE communist screaming at my back, temping me to join a civil war against this communism.

Well, the main reason I like the 360 is the games just appeal to me. Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead are just amazing. Not sure if L4D is on other consoles but it's great on Xbox live. Also, you could try the towel trick as a temporary fix to your 360 BUT I highly recommend against it as it can cause more lasting damage. Usually they want you to send your xbox in to be repaired, or they'll give you a new one, provided your warranty hasn't expired.

Does a warranty come with it, or do you have to buy one There's a warranty that comes with the xbox originally I'm pretty sure, but it expires after like a year or two, I suppose you can probably renew it for a charge but I don't know. you buy ps3 if broken you can repair it but if you buy xbox360 and found red light and your warranty expire you will throw it to bin and other people have xbox360 and live in another country can't send it to microsoft xbox360 very suck And Sony's warranties DON'T expire? Sony sucks just as much as Microsoft. Maybe even more, because they're Japanese.
After like, 16 years, my SNES still fires up like it's brand new. Now that's quality.

Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead are just amazing. Not sure if L4D is on other consoles but it's great on Xbox live.
