[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] are you seriously going to make the claim that not developing games for free = not contributing positively because then wow the game industry is in some pretty deep trouble
Stop arguing with the troll We are supposed to be having fun here
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38029244]Every game has this. No matter if you pay or not. God damn.[/QUOTE] Pokemon MMO doesn't.
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029249]Whatever, I'm sure you'll enjoy Command & Conquer 8 when it comes out on facebook.[/QUOTE] Wow okay? Just cause I'm telling you that f2p games and non f2p games have same mechanics with in game stores, I am an ea loving fag? Okaay then.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38029238]Anybody else getting this crap? [IMG]http://puu.sh/1eGw9[/IMG][/QUOTE] Just refresh and try again, takes me about 2-3 tries whenever I get that
[QUOTE=Juniez;38029255]are you seriously going to make the claim that not developing games for free = not contributing positively because then wow the game industry is in some pretty deep trouble[/QUOTE] No, but show me one time EA has done something other than fuck up game franchises so they could make extra money? It's like Disney (and now pixar), all they do is jew and milk shit. I had fun playing BF1942 10 years back, but those days are long gone.

Got like 5-6 things, still haven't received them or the verification emails yet however.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38029256]Stop arguing with the troll We are supposed to be having fun here[/QUOTE] He isn't trolling. He is just obviously from /v/.

just curious, what is the most someone has received? My guess is at most around 10 games if they really wanted to go through all the alts and such

[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;38029274]He isn't trolling. He is just obviously from /v/.[/QUOTE] No I actually do have my own opinions formed by my own experiences of EA. If they hadn't made me have a 50 email fight with their executive customer service staff for money that was rightfully mine I wouldn't be posting here negatively. Instead they decided to cancel their deal with Steam, shove Origin down my throat (even though it was broken) EA can go fuck themselves for the rest of eternity.
[QUOTE=Disotrtion;38029278]just curious, what is the most someone has received? My guess is at most around 10 games if they really wanted to go through all the alts and such[/QUOTE] If done right, you can get 20 or more.
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029265]I had fun playing BF1942 10 years back, but those days are long gone.[/QUOTE] There are still some people who play Quake 2, you know... If you liked it, then buy it again and play it.
[QUOTE=Disotrtion;38029278]just curious, what is the most someone has received? My guess is at most around 10 games if they really wanted to go through all the alts and such[/QUOTE] Nope. Before it was patched people were posting 25 games they managed to get for one account.
My newly acquired bad company 2 has a pretty big reference number. According to that and my last purchase ~25mins ago... EA sold 2,980,836,401 games ? :O
[QUOTE=Disotrtion;38029278]just curious, what is the most someone has received? My guess is at most around 10 games if they really wanted to go through all the alts and such[/QUOTE] Sitting at 11 at the moment, should get to 13-15 soon! One account I might add

I had fun playing BF1942 10 years back, but those days are long gone.[/QUOTE] well depending on who you talk to it can range from never to recently! it doesn't matter for anyone who isn't you, though because believe it or not- they publish games that people want to buy! and they'll continue to do so even though you believe that the 90s / 00s games are the best and all recent games are bad and money grabbing sucks that you can't enjoy games anymore though, my condolences. have you thought about taking up a different hobby?
[QUOTE=Foxconn;38029293]There are still some people who play Quake 2, you know... If you liked it, then buy it again and play it.[/QUOTE] Sorry, you can't actually by BF1942 anywhere online--to EA the game is dead. I own at least 300 games on steam (including Quake 2), I happily spend money on games, just not with EA.
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029221]No they're not. They are designed to cut a profit. People with money gain an unfair advantage. "Free" is Alien Swarm.[/QUOTE] Free to play is different from free and they never advertise them as "free" games
[QUOTE=latin_geek;38029310]Free to play is different from free and they never advertise them as "free" games[/QUOTE] Ok... so they're not free. That's what my argument was.
I got 7 in all, I don't even really want all of them. Used my main account, I don't care if I get banned. All I had on it was a russian bf3 and games I activated from steam purchases.
[img]http://puu.sh/1eGEZ[/img] Alright, getting really bored now.
[QUOTE=Juniez;38029089]welp [img]http://puu.sh/1eGhd[/img] at least it was free[/QUOTE] I was just playing. Still quite a few servers and quite a bit of fun!
[QUOTE=potato_eating;38029305]I own at least 300 games on steam (including Quake 2), I happily spend money on games, just not with EA.[/QUOTE] 300 games, half of them not even played. Money well spent. [QUOTE=potato_eating;38029305]Sorry, you can't actually by BF1942 anywhere online--to EA the game is dead.[/quote] Then what's so wrong about buying a retail copy?
[QUOTE=Foxconn;38029321]300 games, half of them not even played. Money well spent. Then what's so wrong about buying a retail copy?[/QUOTE] No I've played most of my games. There are a few (like hexen) which I have never played for various reasons. And why should I go drive to shops looking for a 10 year old game because EA is stupid? Fuck that, let them not sell the game and let them die off already.
[QUOTE=MadPro119;38029320]I was just playing. Still quite a few servers and quite a bit of fun![/QUOTE] it's probably the recent surge of people who got it for free though :v: which i guess doesn't matter as long as people are playing now!
[QUOTE=Foxconn;38029321]300 games, half of them not even played. Money well spent. [/QUOTE] I have a lot of steam games as well. A lot of free time and you can get through most of them. [quote]Then what's so wrong about buying a retail copy?[/quote] Probably out of EA spite I would guess. I personally haven't bought an EA game in 5 years and am a little proud of it. Though its not that hard considering their recent games.

But to get treated like absolute shit by them because they fucked up? Nah I'm not going to take that.
