That's what I don't understand about pirating EA games. People bitch and moan about EA, complain about their engines, patching, etc... but continue to play the games.
If you hate something, you generally don't want to touch it, or use it at all. You don't even want to look at it.
I'm starting to get this crazy idea that people saying they "hate" EA are merely trying to justify to themselves that it is OK to illegally download their games. Hell, I think it's just popular to hate EA because they are the 'top-dog' in town, and everybody loves to hate #1.
That's my only idea... I mean, why waste your internet speed, and use up a monthly download limit on something you hate?

Yup Nikki poses a good point, there's no sense in hating a company and still playing their games.
I don't hate EA, but I dislike some of their games and game ideas - so those games I don't play. But I'll probably buy a game that I deem worthy.

@Spoony Those comments might bother me if you were of any importance but to defend my opinion:
| Spoony wrote on Sat, 19 April 2008 12:49 |
they're a company, of course they want to make money, they want to release games a lot of people will like so a lot of people will buy them.
|
Some companies care about quality assurance, I support those companies out the ass. IE VALVe and Activision.
| Spoony wrote on Sat, 19 April 2008 12:49 |
that > you, since you think you're entitled to their games for free, no matter how much they spent actually producing the damn things.
|
I'm looking through my post and see nothing mentioned about me being entitled to anything from those people. I hurt them intentionally the same way a person would beat the crap out of someone with a steel bar. It's not because I think I am entitled, its because I want them to die.
There are a crap load of OBLV releases out there and the reason they're EA games is not because I'm a fan.

My point was spoony, is that it'd be outright retarded to say "LOLZ YA I HAET THEM 2 CUZ DIS GAEM R BAD" when you've not even played the game.
This way, if he plays the game and thinks it's bad, he doesn't have to waste his money. To be honest, if I actually think a game is good, I'd probably buy it even if I pirated it earlier. Not that I pirate games, but yes.
Also, I don't quite HATE them, but their decisions are pretty damn low. I know that in the end most companies want money, but is it THAT hard to ask for quality? I'm not blaming the dev teams, I'm blaming the EA management themselves that think it's such a grand idea to pump out games pretty much 6 months apart and expect it to maintain quality.

Section 1: That wasn't defensive.
Section 2: You did. "WAAH they only want money" etc
Section 3: It's none of your concern.
@TD I would be willing to take that on. If there is one thing I'm willing to argue about, it's EA Games.

If I go to take someone/something down, I make it so that people avoid them/it. I don't actively attack it. I absolutely fucking hate Hillary Clinton, but I'm not going hit her over the head with a crowbar (if I even could)... no matter how much I want to or think she deserves it.
|
I would, but then I'd go to jail. Oh well.
Anyways, to be honest spoony, while blindly bitching about EA IS retarded, Oblivion has many reasons to bitch about EA.
They're a mega millionare company... Why do they need even more money? You'd think, that with more money, they'd be able to deliver quality games that people will buy. However, if people keep buying shitty games, then they'll shrug it off as "who cares, lol, less support we have to do for it then".
However, if very few people buy their products because they're shitty, their income would lower. So if they're intelligent in any meaning of the word, they would start increasing the quality of their games, aswell as stop buying out EVERY company on the market and ruin their games.

If no other game developers existed besides EA, there would be no competition and, in turn, mean higher quality games because there isn't a need to beat other companies.

it's more my concern than the quality of EA games are your concern... perhaps if this forum had a compulsory subscription fee which every forum user had to pay, but I just hacked my way in because LOL THIS FORUM SUCKS, then perhaps you'd have a point.

you've already lost... see the "scrub on welfare" analogy.
let's compare EA to you.
EA
What do they want? Consumers to buy their games.
What do they do to achieve it? Make games they think will sell.
Oblivion165
What do you want? EA games.
What do you do to achieve it? Steal them.
EA > you

Err, no.
Never in history has a company's product improved in quality as an affect of no competition.
@Spoons
Section 2: What the hell are you talking about? I guarantee that I am more involved with the success or failure of EA Games than you will ever be. I'm involved in ways that would hurt your little mind.
Section 3:
Your analogy was flawed and challenged, it got you no where and was far from anything critical.
(Seems like you had some typos there)
EA
What do they want? Consumers to buy their mods.
What do they do to achieve it? Make mods they think will sell.
Oblivion165
What do you want? To marginalize the profit on all sales.
What do you do to achieve it? Usenet and Torrents.
Should I add one of your > < comparisons now?

It wasn't flawed at all. If it was, you'd be able to point out the flaws, and you clearly can't. Go pick up your welfare check from EA, you scrub.

...did I? oh, the humanity. I don't see any though? since you bring this up, let me correct a few of yours:
"affect" is a verb, the word you want is "effect"
"no where" is one word, not two
"EA games if far behind the standard of excellence." there's no 'f' in 'is'
"vamp" isn't a word in the context you're trying to use it, so there's no hyphen in "revamp"
"wont" isn't correct in the context you're trying to use it

You're just some shit-for-brains wannabe-anarchist who thinks he has the right to actively harm a company just because you don't like their products... seriously, go get a job and a social life.
