I too no longer support EA. Unfortunately they still have me with Mass Effect and maybe dragon age.

Left to me they should go the way of crytek.

You  realize that no one forced Bioware to sign with EA right?  EA saw potential, and gave them the best deal.  Like it or not EA publishes countless unforgetable games and without them we would probably be missing a few great ones.

 

P.S.  I guarantee that some games by EA people are "Boycotting" are just games they weren't gonna buy anyways.  Enjoy the new Dragon Age you aren't boycotting Intrinsic!

You misunderstand me. I am not "boycotting" EA. I simply will not take $60 of my hard earned money and boy a mediocre game. And I feel that as gamers we can bitch and whine on the forums all we want, but the best way to send that message home to these suits that actually make the decisions is through our wallets.

This isn't about bioware or any other number of great games EA published (till date one of my best FPS games ever was medal of honor:frontline), its that EA seems to be having a growing reputation of rehashing titles or releasing extremely buggy games. They seem more intrested in how much money they can make from their customers instead of at least first making a great good game. 

My "not supporting EA" basically means that i have zero faith or confidence in EA anymore. It means that even for games like Mass effect 4, I would first wait at least a month and see if its a bug fest before i jump in. It means I would steer clear of all their sport titles as they no long er innovate or push those franchises. EA is fast becoming the publisher that games go to to die.

1) Yes, thank you.  Voting with your wallet is the only thing that matters.

2) I don't think it is all about money for EA, I just think they thought they knew better than DICE when they said "Just make the game ready," and they way underestimated how buggy a game that complex could be.

3) Yeah you can bet I won't buy another battlefied for a long time.  I absolutely love BF4, but man did it need another few months of polishing...
