They lied about strong support for the WiiU, are we expected to believe this? Rumors say they heavily pushed DRM now they say different. Best case for them is word vs word and who's foolish enough to believe them.

If they didn't care about second hand, why did they try to get some money out of it with online passes? They obviously are lying here.

This looks like them throwing MS under the bus. I don't trust EA whatsoever so I'll only believe it when I see it.

Yeah I don't believe that for a minute.

i was watching the GT live broadcast prior to the sony conference and geoff was interviewing him. geoff pressed the question 3 times and he said in no uncertain terms that he couldn't give an answer to EA's policy on used game because the story broke at the same time as when he was traveling to LA and EA didn't have time to fully diguest MS's policy because they were unaware...

bull-fucking-shit.

If I was a XBOX supporter I would be pretty pissed the publisher who is a primary suspect on the policies put into my console.. is coping out. What a detestable company

Yeah, EA such traitors. MS must be really disappointed. I almost feel bad for them.
