I'm starting to think that guy is trolling. No way someone can be honestly so serious
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029154]Yet Valve has released how many games for free? And given stupidly large discounts on how many of their other games? EA will never contribute positively.[/QUOTE] EA does f2p games too. NFS World, Battlefield play 4 free, Battlefield heroes, to name a few. And there have been a couple times where there have been pretty large sales on origin. Sure, not as often as steam, but still. Just recently they did each battlefield game for ten bucks, including battlefield 3.
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029145]You wait until those douche bags fuck you over in the future and then make you email them a hundred times to give you back some jew gold. They are fucking assholes. All of you faggots who bought EA's shit and bought activisions shit are going to drive good games into the ground. Fucking dumbasses.[/QUOTE] Didn't need to call me an ea loving faggot man, they have made games I like to play. Don't get why you came here to start shit.
If you really don't see that this isn't faggot ass reddit viral marketing bullshit read this article: "EA‘s digital platform Origin faces a tough hill to climb against hardcore PC gamers, admits David DeMartini. However, he added that the platform’s new Kickstarter-support program could help win them around. He said, “The hardcore sometimes has issues with Origin, but they seem to love these crowd-funded games. It was one of the few things we have done that wasn’t controversial and nobody had anything negative to say.” With regard to the platform’s early teething troubles, DeMartini added, “People forget that when Steam launched, there was a lot of backlash from the core… Origin represents a change, and anytime EA does something that is significant in the industry, it generates a certain amount of reaction.” A question that might be asked is that since Steam is running with approximately 20 million accounts and more than 4.7 million users online at the time of this writing – as well as those users having games bought and attached to the Steam accounts – is ‘why would users switch?’ Demartini said, “Really, it’s just to give customers an opportunity for choice.” However, some games, such as Sta Wars: The Old Republic, Mass Effect 3 Battlefield 3, remain Origin digital exclusives."

[QUOTE=Woovie;38029138]Conductor of the EA hate train right here folks.[/QUOTE] I want to get off mr. hate's wild ride
From what I understand they stored pricing info in COOKIES. Looks like bad design, I don't think it was intentionally orchestrated.

This is the guy that says origin is broken for him so it is broken for the vast majority of people. Flawless logic.

He is either a troll or massive valve fanboy/EA hate machine. You can't reason with these people. They will get bored if no response.

[url]http://www.google.com/finance?cid=168725[/url] Sort of makes me think EA planned this. How else would they be able to get their shit into so many peoples computers? Not to mention all of the EA marketers on /v/ lately.
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38029193]They are still free.[/QUOTE] No they're not. They are designed to cut a profit. People with money gain an unfair advantage. "Free" is Alien Swarm.

[QUOTE=Legolas;38029217]Paypal is cold hard cash? I thought it's digital.[/QUOTE] Hey all I did with the $100 was buy more alt copies of gmod so I could fuck around on ByB's servers and get perm banned 15 times. I'm sponsored by EA.

You know, I never really used Origin that much....but seeing all this I'm seriously concerned that I gave these people my credit card info once.
[QUOTE=Mr Uber Ostrich;38029245]That doesn't change the underlying fact that you can install, boot up, and play the game for free.[/QUOTE] Doesn't change the underlying fact that the only reason EA made the games was to make jew gold. 100% of their actions are for jew gold.
