Is this true ...if it is ... EA should GTFO ... i mean ..lol !!

These fellas are not making it easy for people to like them.

Nothing shocks me about EA anymore. Everytime I hear them mentioned, it's some shitty new attempt at screwing us over. I'm glad I don't support these morons.

At least they didn't charge 30$

LAWLS

It's like they WANT to go down gamers' shit lists.

It's funny... I remember a time when EA was better received than Activision, now they are worse than ever.

you mean MS and EA together in bed TC!

Should be a perfect opportunity to induce discipline among the youngstars.

Want to play demo? Save 5 dollar.

The pricing was an error.

Now this, this is legendary

@LegatoSkyheart: seems very ea like and no other demos cost.

Bet they just wanted see how it goes. If they could get away with it

wouldn't doubt it.

Alrighty.

I can download that UFC demo now.

An "error". Because just like the first commenter at Polygon said, it couldn't possibly be EA testing the waters. And let's be honest, people would be dumb enough to pay for it.

And they will continue to do it too because there are actually people out there that will pay it. Like PSN and XBL subscriptions, If no one paid then it would be free.

I'm sure it was an "error". Man, **** EA.

I wonder how many times EA is going to make that "error".

I'm sure they'll apologize and everything will be a-ok again (or at least that is what EA thinks)

Like they have done for BF4 and Dungeon Keeper...

i'll take eight

So when is EA going to start charging for reloading your gun in an online shooter ?

They said they would. I'm still waiting :(

I think that too.

This isn't something we can point fingers at EA for.

Sony complimented it PS1 with a demo full of wonderful games, some of which I thoroughly enjoy personally, btw.

However, when did this trend stop? Well, the answer is not when Sega exited. I'll just leave you with that....

Oh, EA. Sigh.

I'm pretty sure it's an actual error though. Even they aren't that dumb. It would be insane for them to be giving free games every month only to start charging for demos.

When developers who made shit games lost sales because of shit demos.

No. EA crossed another line. And there'll be enough people to buy into this and let yet another abusive business practice become norm... Hope I'm wrong.

Sure, it definitely did shift some gears of war.

Haha and look at the link "...store.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-one/games..." welcome to nextgen milking of lemz LOL

Heh yeah, early last gen if I recall correctly.

Now it seems Activision is a bit cooler (for the time being).

What developer releases demos now? Monetizing them makes perfect sense when you consider how they most usually turn people off from buying.

Don't complain. This is an easier, cheaper way than buying the full game and finding out you don't like it.

EA are making it hard to like them:-\

It's been comfirmed it's an error

This thread feels like a dumb knee jerk reaction. Lets not think about anything, lets just assume they are trying to screw us over. The UFC demo has been out for a couple weeks now, why would they charge for that now?

Aaahh.. it's just an error in the system. Hopefully no one was stupid enough to pay for the demos.

I was a bit puzzled as I remember the UFC demo was FREE when it was first released on the XB1 and PS4, so this didn't make much sense. Glad they are fixing it. I wonder if we will get demos for Indie games again like we did on PS3 and XBox 360 last gen.

Pretty much, I mean EA is scum, but this reaction is stupid.

Sure it was, EA. Sure it was. :roll:

Expected, console kids always get ripped off.

Problem is, muppets WILL pay for it. :(

What are you doing? That's too simple and logical.
