I refuse to support EA with these ridiculous micro-transactions. They want you to pay to avoid wait times. That is ridiculous. I would have bought Real Racing 3 if it was a regular game. Now they will not see a penny from me because they crossed the line. It's a shame too, because RR3 would actually be a good game without the current business model. EA is the worst.
It's nice to see Gamespot hold EA accountable for this disaster of a product. I am glad they didn't overlook the technical problems and usage restrictions.
They have their licensees for sure, but Epic Games has been around much longer and has seen more success with both their games and engine licensing and they do not have this type of expansion. It is just crazy how aggressive Crytek is right now. I am glad they are doing well, but that kind of expansion requires a lot of money. Just trying to figure out where it is coming from.
How do they get all the funds to open so many studios? Far Cry 1, Crysis 1 and 2 weren't that big of hits and they don't have too many licensees for CryEngine. Where is the money coming from? How do they get so much Capital? With so many studios struggling, how are they expanding so aggressively?
@stealth6spy Onlive failed because it is just a compressed video feed and has laggy controls. I knew it would fail from the get go because it can not replicate the experience of dedicated hardware.
I have no interest in this Ouya as it will be severely underpowered. If I want to play Indie games or experience an open platform, I have a PC. People forget it has HDMI output and support for the 360 controller. So, you can just plug it into your TV and have the ultimate console.
Now that is one smart kid. The little guy saw through all the hype and saw the Wii for what it really is and he took appropriate action. *unzips* "Wiiiiiiii!!!" hehe :)
