EA is worse than Activision

Ok I am going to take the things that actually matter into account here. I don't care who got fired from where or what stupid comments Bobby Kotick made. These things don't effect me, the consumer. But alot of things that EA does effect the consumer. Here's a list:

Activision:

- Overpriced DLC

- Annual Releases

EA:

- Overpriced DLC

- Annual releases

- The destuction of the Command and Conquer franchise

- Scattered DLC ( If I want everything in DA2 I have to buy other EA games and pre order from about 4 different shops and buy about 3 different editions )

- Day 1 DLC

- Online Passes

- EA clone whatever is popular ( Resident Evil, Bioshock, COD, Guitar Hero ) and don't innovate

- The CEO thinks that single player games are finished ( Bad news for Bioware fans such as myself )

Last I checked Activision is responsible for running many series into the ground. Including CoD. millerlight89

As EA did with Command and Conquer and Medal of Honor

DLC and annual releases,don't really affect anyone who doesn't like them (which would be 4 of your points). Don't want them, don't buy them, it's not like you're forced to.

The CEO thinks that single-player ONLYgames are finished, there's a difference. As showed by Dead Space 2, it's not a big deal.

You can't blame them for the online pass, they have the right to protect themselves from the used market.

And about "cloning", that's pretty much what every company does, as long as the games are good, it's not an issue.

WTF............dejavu?:?

Well said.

I think they are just about the same as evil corporations go.

For you TC.

Great so you couldn't counter any of my points and therefore you admit that I have more evidence of EA being worse

Activision:

- Overpriced DLC

- Annual Releases

EA:

- Overpriced DLC(Most their DLC is well priced)

- Annual releases(Only with sports games, which is the status quo)

- The destuction of the Command and Conquer franchise ( :? )

- Scattered DLC ( If I want everything in DA2 I have to buy other EA games and pre order from about 4 different shops and buy about 3 different editions ) (meh)

- Day 1 DLC (many do this, still very bad and I will give you this)

- Online Passes (I support this, online infastucture cost $$$ to maintain. the studio should by default get some of your money if you buy used)

- EA clone whatever is popular ( Resident Evil, Bioshock, COD, Guitar Hero ) and don't innovate (what, are you serious :lol: )

- The CEO thinks that single player games are finished ( Bad news for Bioware fans such as myself ) (most games benifite from multiplayer, look at U2. extends replay value)

EA still aren't churing out yearly releases that are barely changed or updated. They are just casualizing all their games for the mainstream. I don't think EA could ever be "as bad" as Activision.

[QUOTE="Sledgehammer117"]

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Yet you didn't put any of the games Activision **** up. Why is that?

COD is a great series. Review scores, sales and time spent online prove this. GH was good until Acti F'd it up il give you that but EA just added more fuel to the fire by creating Rock Band because they are just not innovative. And Im sorry but Activision has done nothing as bad as EA runing the C&C series.

Yes... EA is terrible, I hate Bioware and Dice.

I hate how EA who has been apart of the command and conquer franchise for over 11 years constantly releasing solid AAA-AA titles are blamed for the A ranked game last year and completely ruined the franchise.

I hate the lack of innovation of the studios...

I hate that DA2 got casualized, the movement from ME1 to ME2 to make it more action-based wasn't EA fault but the attempt to change from DA1 to DA2 was completely their fault.

I also hate how they offer all these preorder bonuses to different companies, no one has ever done that before and has the right too.

EA carsx more about their customers more than Activision even though they do stupid things to their customers at times.. From what I heard Activsion has little customer support. EA cares a lot more than Activision about their franchises. They also provide many benefits for their workers.

EA was doing really good, but lately they have been regressing. After Dead Space they began to turn into the EA we all know and hate.

EA:

- The destuction of the Command and Conquer franchise, activision destroyed cod...and wolfenstein...and soldier of fortune...and crash bandicoot..and spyro.

- Scattered DLC ( If I want everything in DA2 I have to buy other EA games and pre order from about 4 different shops and buy about 3 different editions )

- Day 1 DLC

- Online Passes this isnt bad.. i buy all my games brand new so moot point, only for cheapskates who buy used games would complain about this

- EA clone whatever is popular ( Resident Evil, Bioshock, COD, Guitar Hero ) and don't innovate mirrors edge was innovative and dead space is awesome and what is the bioshock 'clone'? also rock band > GH apparently according to reviewers so...

- The CEO thinks that single player games are finished ( Bad news for Bioware fans such as myself )

If I remember Crash and Spyro weren't in Activision hands until 2008, but I doubt they destroyed these games and Vivendi destroyed them. Still Activision is insanely evil.

Thanks for the info I never knew that.

I think EA is the lesser of two evils.

And, at least they still put out games I enjoy from time to time.
