Sounds like a easy way to force DRM without it being noticed.

I'm surprised so many people care about this tacked on MP thing. 2K, Rockstar, and Ubisoft have all taken this approach and nobody batted an eyelash.
Seems like the EA hate bandwagon is rolling again.[/QUOTE]
It's kind of funny, because I've heard from an ex-EA employee that they give fairly good opportunities to those they lay off. Though I guess that that's an issue for another thread.

[QUOTE=Raidyr;37551080]Valve said this exact thing.[/QUOTE]
No they didn't. They said they would be expanding the OPTIONAL social and community components of their games and introduce more community feedback and mod/steamworks support. ME3 got mod tools and an MP community hub released when exactly? You can't even fucking use text chat in that game.
Yet again quality raidyr post 100% devoid of context or common sense.
[QUOTE=Trogdon;37571675]because it shouldn't have had a singleplayer campaign let alone a multiplayer one
game is trash[/QUOTE]
If DICE had said "Right, fuck it, nobody buys Battlefield for SP, so we won't bother with SP at alll" I'd be fine with BF3. Not my cup of tea, I hate that type of multiplayer, but fair enough if it's good it's good. However, they repeatedly claimed they were going to try to make an engaging single player during development, with the end result being six kinds of terrible. It's so heavily scripted that you don't get to do much of anything. They made jet combat boring for fuck's sake!
So glad I didn't buy it. I almost did based on their claims but sense took over and I waited for reviews. Every single one of them said the SP was terrible but the MP was good, and since I don't enjoy MP I shrugged the game off entirely.
[QUOTE=Nikota;37556242]Valve doesn't shut their game servers down after 2 years, and they go out of their way to make sure that servers can remain up, as long as the community is willing to host them. [/QUOTE]
Well, unless you don't count the WON/Steam fiasco.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;37556312]IMO it's more along the lines of Valve doesn't say "in order to get the best ending you must use an unintuitive and generic multiplayer to earn points" *cough* ME3 *cough*[/QUOTE]
To be fair, they fixed it, and you don't need to play the MP at all to get the best possible ending anymore.
Also, as unnecessary as it was, ME3's multiplayer was actually pretty decent. I mean I wish it went to single player development, but I ended up playing that mode a HELLUVA lot with my friends.
EA was such an amazing game development/publisher company before and around after the millennium.
And Sierra
And Team 17 kinda just got a bit lazy, they're still cool I think.
Shit Mulitplayer > Shit Singleplayer
Because you have to sit through shit singleplayer games alone
