EA is ridiculous.

I mean, what the hell? Does this make any sense to anyone here?

Wait... LIMITED QUANTITY? Can't they use digital download? That's pretty unlimited if you ask me....iskeethunters

Not just downloads even boxed copies etc, they want a smooth launch so they think the best way to get one is to exclude half the damn world and made it impossible for people in certain countries to pre-order. They've gone fullretard.

That is pretty silly lol idk why they are limiting pre-orders. gunmaster55555

LOL I always have liked Activision more than EA because EA tries to act nice while Activision just acts how they are.JigglyWiggly_

So you like the people who blatantly rob people of their money just because they make it obvious more than the people who try to improve?

Interesting...

By the way, it's been a long time since I've seen a post from you that made sense, or added something to the topic. Just thought you should know.

EA seems to be doing everything they can to limit the fanbase of their games with the most potential :|, they always have been arrogant though so its not really a surprise.

Still waiting for Bethesda to generate more Prey keys for Steam. I mean, it's digital so it's unlimited roight?

Digital downloads are starting to grate on me in general charging 30 Quid for a game without a Box or Manual is excessive.

EA: Artificially lowering supply = Artificially raising demand lolz.ndawgdrake

i think is a marketing strategy so everyone says omg its sold out its gonna be huge, but i still think the game is gonna flop.

Since when has EA tried to improve as a company? It's been a long time since they did anything for the customer.

They're pushing out some of the best games out on PC. I think that's quite a lot for the customer.

What was the last good game Activision published?

Goldeneye. I'm not a huge fan of Activision either, so don't get me wrong. However, you can't go and say that EA is a good company because they are pushing good games, BFBC2 is a wonderful game, but it took them 6 months post-release to get things right and people are still having issues. Now I don't think that the Call of Duty series is a good series in terms of improvement or quality control, but I really do like the series and I've bought into it every time. I haven't necessarily been disappointed with any of my purchases other than Black Ops.

EA, however, goes under the guise that they are for the customer and that they care, but time and time and time again they prove themselves to be just as bad as Activision is. They are both just as terrible, the only thing is, EA has a better FPS franchise, that's it.

They said from the start that they were only releasing 500k for the FIRST Batch so I don't see the issue here....

With EA's servers how is this a bad thing?

Any limit, suggests doubts about the game to me. If they keep saying it will be ready when it is ready, and we want to release it when we know it is a quality product, then why would you not let everyone at it?

My guess is that there is an internal argument going on as to when to release is and this is a comprimise of sorts.

I want this game to be amazing, not just good. From this stratagy I dont think this game is going to have the same impact as a game like Battlefield 3. If they release any time newar that release, this game will die.

They really need to find another guy to write these forms.

theyre limiting the number of preorders because, unlike most MMOs newly released, they actually want to control the server population to provide the best experience.

Ideal amount of servers, with the ideal amount of people playing on them. Pretty simple and, dare I say, noble concept...even for EA :P

The alternative would be a lot of empty servers, or a few overfilled servers.

The face you put over the EA logo cracked me up irl, rofl.

Because a 5 year old game is the exact same situation as a pre-order, roight! Ones totally off a developers roadmap and the other is a top of their priorities.

Well yeah, I think it should be a top priority when the sequel's coming out next year, other digital stores sell it and the retail copies can be activated on Steam. It's like they don't care about free money!

lol this game is gonna flop.. it will be free to play in about a year maybe a year and a half with an in game shop... guild wars 2 is where its at not this wow rehash pos... supertrooper23

Apparently they are limiting preorders for server stability. The sky is not falling people....IxX3xil3d0n3XxI

restaurants call this a "soft opening"...theyre not officially open, they don't advertise...but they still serve a select number of people for the month or two leading up to their official opening.
