• EA COO Peter Moore: 'We will do better'

I don't want to hear them talk about it. I want to see them do it. Actions speak louder than words.
I'm so fuckin sick of them exploiting the fact that they have gay characters to wave away all their other complaints. Mass Effect 3 had a horrible ending "We're just getting raided by the anti gay community!", Sim City has massive server problems and major issues lacking the depth of the originals "Lets release a new video showing how much we love the gay community and claim the anti gays are just forming another raid!", voted worst company in america, "We have a huge anti gay following just spamming the polls!". Not only are their gay characters insultingly poorly written, but they've proven time and time again at this point that they're just doing it for pandering and that's more than enough reason for me to vote for them.

It didn't even have to do with sim city. It was the sims.

Fuck no. EA is just a bunch of videogames. The other companies on there have much more importance to real life things and do much more damage than making some shitty video games. If you actually think EA is worse than fucking comcast and walmart then you need to take a serious look at your priorities.
I don't get why everyone hates Origin. It's not that bad.
From a business standpoint, sure, you did Battlefield 3 right. But from a fan-loyalty standpoint, no, you most absolutely did not do it right. However, I still give them respect for not caving in on LGBT issues. At least there's one priority they've got on right.

Oh no, minor security issues, no one has ever had those before. And gasp, it's enabled people to use pictures of me that I post publicly. Muh privacies! Need I go on?

Talk is cheap, i want to see your "doing better" in action, otherwise, your still shit!
[QUOTE=legolover122;40175578]Still worse than EA by far. And lets not forget comcast, AT&T, time warner and apple.[/QUOTE] Comcast and AT&T I can hold some gripes over with net neutrality but net neutrality was killed by movies, music, and now government. Their worst offense is giving in to extreme pressure really. Apple is even more laughable than facebook following all the same "They're just a business" crap I get for voting EA, and Time Warner I've never cared much for or against. In the end it comes down to who do I want to send a message to. Who has not only gone down a dark road, but digs deeper and deeper down a path that ultimately can and should be avoided. EA was not only a terrible company last year, they are becoming even worse and worse.

[QUOTE=cdr248;40175415]I don't get why everyone hates Origin. It's not that bad.[/QUOTE] It's something that I'd never install if their games weren't origin exclusive. I start it only when I'm playing BF and close it immediately after. I used to think that I'd just keep it in tray like steam but nope that piece of shit loves to tell you that there's synchronization problem or login problem out of the blue and pull you to the desktop (which crashed one of my multiplayer games). It's a gaming platform yet they don't realize I might be playing something and that I'd rather not be pulled out to desktop? But what pisses me even more is that they go "look how many origin users we have! see how successful origin is? you can say what you want but that means we're doing things right". How about you don't make your games origin exclusive and see how many people switch to steam on the first day.
[QUOTE=hexpunK;40175675]Privacy is a much bigger deal than a video game not being good. Are you seriously this detached from reality?[/QUOTE] No, I'm more attached to the reality of the internet than most people seem to be. I know what I make public on the internet is public, I've known this for years, and that this stuff would never be gone if I did something stupid. I've known not to leave important information all over a public page on the internet since day 1. It's the people who are learning about internet from their smartphones, whose first and mostly only website is facebook, that just end up being threats to themselves and cause these problems. But here's the kicker. Facebook whenever this happens, takes steps to fix it. They have countless times fixed their issues over the years and I actually have had no recent gripes with their handling of the website. EA is dismissing their issues by claiming sanctuary under the shroud of the "We're a pro gay community! All against are as homophobes!" and continue to make gaming shittier for everyone with their constant steps to fuck over customers.

Look what he fucking implied, if you criticize them that means you are one of those bigots and homophobes protesting against the LGBT thing.

I'll believe this when I see it

[QUOTE=Untouch;40174154]are this this fucking daft? like holy fucking shit[/QUOTE] I hate to say it, but I think that this gives considerable credence to the theory that they only widely supported LGBT and such so that they could deflect criticism of them into that. Just like they just did. I never believed this, but christ they're not making it easy now.
The moment they start to improve again, they will go straight back to their bad habits. So no. Keep giving them negative attention. EA is forever stuck as a lousy publisher
