Gamers will bitch and moan, bitch and moan, bitch and moan, but at the end of the day they will then go out and buy the next EA title, Call of Duty, etc..., further enabling this stuff to go on.

Stop complaining and just stop buying their games. It is really that simple and is the only way to make things change.


Wait, what's so bad about Call of Duty?
What are we "enabling" by buying this game every year?

Is Activsion screwingn people with "rented servers" or "online passes"? Are they removing content from their games in favor of Call of Duty Elite?
That answer to all of this is NO.

Activision is a SAINT when compared to EA and Ubisoft.

The worst things in this industry such as Day 1 DLC, Online Passes are NOT supported by Call of Duty. So naturally, you should support these games over ones that do, should you?

There is nothing wrong with it, I am just saying that the same people who bitch about something end up being the same ones who buy those games and enable it to happen.

Call of Duty is mentioned just because it seems to be the game everyone cries about. I don't play them so I have no clue what these "issues" are.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Look at all those top hats!

 

Didn't BF3 PC players already get screwed by Origin? lol

OT: Well this really does suck for BF3 console gamers. Hopefully they will come to their senses.

I remember them advertising BF3 as the game you don't need to have to pay for a service to use it with every feature. That was aimed at CoD Elite.

EA is EA. They killed Westwood so they need to die a slow and painful death.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Yeah! Origin! WOO!

Indeed. But, that's only a slight bump on the road to glory

True, it just doesn't apply to EA games.

I think I'll be getting Battlefield 3 on PC, I've found out my rig could probably (near) max it.

Sounds simple in theory, but the truth is that some gamers really are like drug addicts. Even if they know that it's poison for them, they still need to get their next dose.

True, I'm dying to get the next Battlefield 3 DLC, you can unlock the L86 in the support class!

I am prestige or rank whatever 9 in the game, and I have been for the last few months, since the pay-to-rent feature has been introduced I've really stopped playing it. Pretty pissed that you have to pay for map packs as well now, but at least Strike at Karkand came free with LE.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Microsoft, EA and Activision are going to take the gaming industry into a full pay to play methodology next generation for sure if you don't keep your mind sharp to how this gen is going to end. Everything will have a dollar price and if they can't get it straight out of you they'll find other ways. I really do wish it was the days of fun gaming when the Japanese ruled the industry, but I am sure that is going to take a harsh turn now.

If Sony can manage to stick around they will probably go the pay route as well. Its amazing how some people can't get through their head that offering online services isn't free. The overhead cost are so high that Sony actually has publishers pay bandwidth fees. MS however does not which is part of the reason they get more support and content.

The Cold War is over commie. Quit worrying about companies trying to make money off something as trivial as video games.

Yes because they would find that being fair and respecting that people already pay internet bills should be enough admission to use the internet without publisher and Microsoft barricading you from further entertainment. They tried, but they found that people find paying is the way to go so they just might follow suit. When they do were all fucked. I might just stop gaming because of all the payments ontop of games for a little while. I have too many other things to focus on.
