Most people hate EA because it's the popular thing to do rather than what they've actually done for the gaming community. Then for their reasoning they'll dredge up what EA has done over a decade ago, the yearly sports games despite every other company making yearly revisions of sports/fighters/etc, the very few games that were broken at launch, but fixed shortly after, with everyone conveniently forgetting the free games they've given during those times or all the good games they've released. While a lot of companies can do no wrong in peoples eyes, EA can do no right. Doesn't matter what they do, everyone will hate on them because it's EA. |
Groundless Reasons why to hate EA?
So lets see what EA has done for the Gaming Industry
1. Not supporting the Dreamcast despite supporting every console prior and after regardless of sales, or isnt the WiiU getting any Fifa and Madden? The Dreamcast didnt get a single game from EA. Seems EA conspired for MS.
2. Tried to establish Online pass in console gaming which thank god failed.
3. Buying up studios and then shutting them down and making nothing with their IPs (westwoods).
4. Day 1 DLC
5. Same IPs every year
6. Origins
7. Origins spy's on your computer to search for information so they can sell it on the internet and make money out of you. And no one knows what they plan to do in the future, maybe if they see a pirated game from EA? they gonna take you in prison?
8. Being banned from the Origins Forums will result in losing all your games you have purchased.
9. Bribing Journalists and Media
10. Spending more money on Marketing (Propaganda) than at the actual game development.
11. They shoehorn in Multiplayer in their games, see dead space 3.
12. They heavily backed the Xbox Ones DRM policy's in the earlier stage, they might again like with the Dreamcast would have boycotted the PS4 in order to win and make DRM the future of console gaming, but things turned differently. Thats why they are not allowed to have EA pass on sonys console and peter more is coming like a puddle with his free mirrors edge in the PSX event. I wouldnt wonder at all that this is another atempt to bribing EA aceess on playstation.
13. Actively trying to influence the console wars in their favor, see 3do, dreamcast, xbox one drm version, now xbox one ea pass.
14. They are shutting down the servers on older games so you have to re buy newer versions, see the MMA games in 7th gen.
15. They remove official servers so people have to rent them from EA costing the community even more money, see BF3 on ps3.
16. Planed an Origin Two Year Entitlement Clause, EA planed to turn off inactive accounts purchasing history.
17. Origins is a system Hog.
18. Welcome to EAs newest monstrosity concept, MICRO TRANSACTIONS. Pay to Win, in every EA Game from now on.
19. Develop sometimes good and unique Games like Alice Madness returns and Mirrors edge but dont make sequels or are very lazy.
Its now what? 6 years since Mirrors edge came out and we still havent seen any gameplay footage after the announced of the second game which i think will be canceled in the end. BF is more important i guess.
In comparison its now 9 years since we havent got a new team ico game after shadow of the colossus, 9 and 6 isnt that much of a difference.
20. They do everything to stop used games.
21. Thats why all their Retail PC games now have DRM
22. Youre forced to install Origins and register the game on your origins account if you want to play their retail or digital PC games.
23. Their games have the DLC on the disc, in some very rare cases you can unlock it by editing some text data, see alice madness returns PC.
24. Most of their games are overrated see Mass Effect
25. Banning Origin Users (and from playing their games they have purchased) for criticizing EA in their Origins Forum.
26. Is from now on selling all their digital pc games only on origins.
27. Release unfinished and buggy games, see BF4.
28. Treats its employee very bad the rumors say.
29. EA was rated as Americas worst Company in 2012.
30. Lying about DRM not in the game, see spore.
31. Always online attempt in their pc games, see SimCity 2013.
32. Is bribing official sports teams to have the rights exclusively to have them in their games.
33. They have monopolies in most sports games and its boring
34. Many of these sports games every year are a waste of resources and are bad for the environment.
35. EA Access is not a good deal, its just another atemp to change the industry like they want.
