EA clarifies recent offline games comment

EA and Microsoft are competing to see who can shoot themselves in the foot more often.

Damage control.

EA Sports: If it's in the game... there's a charge to access it

This is why COOs and CEOs need to go back to their boardrooms, shut the eff up, and let PR people do the talking. These companies, for some stupid reason, seem to think that they can go about their day talking off the cuff as if cohesive strategies and clear messages don't matter. It's like they think gamers are so unsophisticated that they don't need to be treated like every other consumer.

When are they going to stop assuming we're all stupid?

The glorious thing about EA is, I've already started boycotting them after DA 2 and ME 3 sucked the big one. They can go do whatever the hell they want and it wont bother me. More companies that screw up, the less games I have to buy. I'll save hundreds every year!

EA games..........fucking everything

That's a good dog EA! Now sit! roll over!

good then... because I swore I wouldn't be buying any more E.A. games if that was true.

@Diegoctba ...and that most gamers are kids.

Doing a Microsoft, are we?

It sounds like their plan is to shoehorn in MP into every game. Seeing as how games have only 100% of their budget, it sounds like something is gonna have to be lost in the budget to afford that online part. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against MP, I'm just against MP for the sake of MP...

I enjoy single player games. Keep single player games coming.

i hope we get more quality f2p titles like plants vs zombie 2 that dumb down the game immensely and add pointless pay2pay

Fact is, when you dedicate resources to multiplayer, you take away from resources that could have been put on single player. Dead Space 3, Mass Effect 3, SimCity and Plants vs Zombies 2. All the latest entries in their respective franchises, also with the largest focus on online features in their franchises. Also the shittest games in those franchises.

Oh, don't worry, we got you perfectly the first time. You're are still a bunch of assholes.

That is like a gentleman. One more troll spotted taking 180

If I cant buy the full game I wont play it. To hell with Free to scam and EA's BS

Thanks for that useless bit Mr. Moore. Now go back to running the worst company in America.

No, not free to play! We will just make sure all of our titles include Micro-transactions! We found that customers like being able to buy their way out of difficult situations by unbalancing a game if they have the cash! Like Dead Space 3!

"I also CREATED confusion about our plans for free to play games." There fixed that for you Mr. Moore. Funny how these guys don't seem to be able to take responsibility for their own statements. Everyone always "misundertood" them.

I'm shocked to see how many people misunderstood his previous comment.

I guess anything with 'EA', and 'online', makes people see red and lose reasoning.

Glad to see that Peter Moore went at the Microsoft school of backpedaling.

I find it funny how companies like EA and Microsoft always have to do damage control after they make a statement.

It's like they're always surprised to find out that consumers don't like to be fucked in the ass.

Wonder when they'll learn.

Backpeddling like a boss. Who would have thought throwing around the terms free-to-play and always online would cause such a ruckus. Oh EA, you so funny.

"Oh hey sorry you totally misunderstood what we said, so allow us to clarify. When we said we don't do offline games any more, what we meant was that we're a bunch of dishonest crooks and you can't trust a word out of our mouth. Not that it matters, because weak-willed gamers will keep buying our games no matter what we do to deter them."

Fixed that for you EA.
