OK, I am asking all you games out there, Who HATES EA? I sure as hell do.
Why you ask? They buy out all the good developers, and make them rush crappy unfinshed games out the door. They also go and kill any developers for no real reason (Westwood, Janes, Origin).
They basicly force the devs to release buggy unfinished games (Sim City 4, Battlefield 1942 Command and Conqure Generals (this game should have never been called C&C, it soild the C&C name)).
I have vowed never to buy another EA game again. I love Maxis, but they have been bastardized by EA, I loved Westwood, they made some of the best RTS's ever, but again, killed by EA.
This saddens me, I wanted to play the third part in the amazing command and conqure searises (Command and Conqure Tiberium Twilight, so the rumors have said), and the second Renagade game. But, this will never happen. Thank you EA, for fucking over the gameing industry!

EA is really out of control. They're whoring The Sims series for as much money as they can possibly get, and their retail prices on all of their games are ridiculous.

Love MOH, but the Spearhead expansion pack was a smidge overpriced and a smidge short. Maybe they will fair better with the next and last Allied Assalt expansion pack, breakthough.

Ya, EA never lowers their prices of their games, and they really have been whoring the sims, I am suprysed they let maxis even make SimCity 4.
Ya, everything from them is overpriced, full games and expansions and whatnot.

Yeah, they're horrible monsters, but trying to boycott them is like trying to boycott porn; It's never gonna happen because many sad, pathetic people can't live without it.

EA should stick with Sports games and Road Rash, like they used to

The one game I don't like from EA is 007 Nightfire. I think they could have done much more with this game. I loved Golden Eye and I'm still hoping for a good remake on PS2 or X box. EA does not seem like the company to do so.

i love need for speed (at least i used to) but the sim-like games (especially the sims) are ridiculously big in quantities and outradeously overpriced.

Need For Speed is the only EA game I like...Everything else I play is from a different developer, sooo...

I am refering to their buisness practaces and such. EA will never be able to remake golden eye, it was made by Rare, and now rare does not have the liscence to make it again.
They buy any promising dev, and then ruin their games, and then destroy the dev (ie westwood).
I must say, I love BF42, but I will never buy it b/ of EA.
