To each their own. But my point is game companies thinking everyone is pirating their games. Isn't that wild and imaginative? I think you are missing my point. It goes both ways. We can't return games because game companies think everyone is pirating. Did you read the topic title?

The excuse they use are copyright laws and that you can copy their game and return it. Isn't that a conspiracy in itself? I know way over your head.

You post thinking everyone is being wild and imaginative, when I'm just an honest consumer here, speaks volumes. I'm not being wild and imaginative at all. You are. That's the problem.

well the people who liked it have no issue purchasing it i would guess. But what about all the people who didn't? They are just screwed?

Have you ever played EA sports games though? They pretty much have the market on sports games. If you want a sports video game you most likely are going to buy EA Sports. Because you have no choice. Their games freeze. NCAA BAsketball freezes quite often. I can't return it. The Show this year was advertised to have improved online play. It's still a laggy mess. I bought it for online play. IT's virtually unplayable online.

my feeling is if people were allowed to return software these developers would get their crap together. blizzard was a very good developer for a long time on the PC because they had to be.

Now these companies have basically licensed everything and gobbled everything up where they can do whatever they please.

I listen to these developers talk out of the side of their mouths how they are going to do this and that and nothing we can do. But my feeling is as a consumer I wish people would speak up.

pretty soon we aren't even going to be able to rent games. They are really greedy. They use this stuff as a crutch like we are pirates and doing things I'm not when they are liars and not responsible themselves.

Starcraft II is about to be released on the PC. Blizzard makes a ton of money selling how many copies on a PC where it's very easy to pirate games if you want to.

I know piracy is real. My question is I think these huge businesses use it as a crutch to release crap because you can't return it. Once you buy it it's yours. I know easy to say research it first. But so many reviews are paid off these days. Games get hyped up, what people and fanboys say isn't always a legitament source. Take EA for example. This company has been releasing crap for years. It gets hyped. Madden gets 9 for reviews. All the fanboys cheer it. It's the same broken game that has been released for years. But I can't return it because of copyright laws and they blame piracy and I'm suffering because of that.

When they sell over how many million copies? Is piracy really the issue they make it out to be?

My feeling is I'm an honest consumer. I should be able to return a game if it doesn't work as advertised.

i picked up ncaa football 11. The framerates are crappy. There are a lot of issues with it. I actually enjoyed EA's 10 edition of games for the first time in like a decade lol. Is this their business model. Take 10 years to make a fairly decent game then break it again and start over? I just don't see what the big deal is with ncaa 11. It has a new physics engine i guess but it seems like it has a ways to go per usual and still hasn't fixed 90% of the things that were wrong with it anyways.

what do you think? Do you thnk this locomotion stuff is just hype with EA per usual or what? I just popped in Madden 10. It plays a lot smoother than NCAA 11 and makes me want to return it.

this is system wars isn't it? I'd say that's a war. But joking aside, it's ridiculous. where do you post stuff like this anyways when you have no recourse? I figured it was worth asking. I know I'm not the only person who feels this way.

I'm just wondering. I was just ip banned from a site because they said i was doing something i wasn't. Of course i have no recourse. They took my money, said i did things i didn't and ip banned me. Do you think ip bans are the way to go? The thing is these people could never accuse me of what they were in person. They basically robbed me. This was a game company btw. They said i wasn't following their terms of use, but it's all subjective. It's very easy to twist what someone is doing through teh internet whether it's false or not. It's at their discretion which leaves a lot of loopholes where they can lie, take your money and run.

I havent bought NCAA in a few years but it seems liek it has made some nice strides forward. I'm just not sure if it's worth $60 or just wait for Madden. I dont really need 2 football games.

Which football game do you think will be more worth it?

i just picked up this game the other day after trading in live and nba 2k10. why am i so shocked that this game is better than both of them? it's not like i don't play sports game. i've been playing them a long time. Goes to show what popularity will do for you?

this game is the best basketball game on the market. It's a shame they aren't making 11.
