Stop whining. Seriously.

Fine, dont buy anything EA, have fun never playing any game ever again.

How many tims does someone have to say something before you realise it for what it is?

The game Industry is a business. It is about money. Thats all.

They dont care what people do with their games, they dont care if you burn it, melt it, throw it away, as long as you buy it, they dont care.

By basically buying out the competition, they boost their own profit, and secure the gaming industry in said genré for said number of years.


What about hockey? The real sport?

Remember when the NHL bought out the WHL (or WHA, I cant remember) because they were a rival league? Why did they do that? Because its a business, it will boost their revenue in the longrun, and they screwed the competitors over.

Welcome to the world of capitalism. The all mighty dollar means more than anything. If you dont have money, your worthless. EA has money. They spend it at a whim. They'll make that amount of money back because they will be the only title to buy.

Excuse me?

Scared?

If you headed a corporation, and you had a chance to put out your biggest, and all rivals, would you not do so? Its not a matter of being scared or not, its a matter of opportunity and funds.

I expect many flames for my comments but my opinion won't change. EA is the Microsoft of the Gaming Industry. I don't like it when there is no competition so that a company can do as they please without needing to make the product good.

I'm not saying EA will make crappy games but with the way EA has been lately, I disprove of it whether you like it or not.

Sega got ESPN to help get them control of the sports gaming section...
all companies try to put out thier competition, thats the very nature of competition; to be the best and put otu the others.

but EA Sports have competition, always will. Themselves. they always have to add move to make people want it over the old one with new roster updates. thats all sports games ever are anyway.

I look forward to getting Madden 2006... I highly doubt they will take away anything from their games, and will continue to improve on them like they normally do (I doin't know about year to year, considering I only buy the same brand sports games every other year or so).
