| hardyhar said: It doesn't matter what the game is. Sony couldn't implement new features into the PS3 without it affecting how some games play, so the developers of those games are within their rights to be pissed off about it, as are the people that own those games. EA are being made a scapegoat here, and it's no surprise to see people unwilling to place a single ounce of blame at Sony's feet. |
If EA tries to stop the feature from being introduced because of one game (or a few), rather than just owning up and saying "oh well, that game was coded differently from every other damn thing out there", then the blame goes to EA. Sure, Sony didn't have the feature at launch...this justifies EA from trying to stop the feature completely because of some older games that didn't even sell well? No; if this is true, then fuck EA.
EA had to have done cost-benefit analysis, right? "How bad will it be for us if Harry Potter is almost the only game without voice chat? Hmm, it won't really matter. How bad will it get if we try to kill the voice chat feature and fans find out about it? Oh, fuck." Smooth one, idiots. (if this is at all true...we'll see.)
