I like so many others was dooped into falling for the hype surrounding Spore. Now EA announces a 'New expansion' for the game. This is ridiculous as it is likely content that was supposed to be in the game in the first place and was omitted for later money milking. I therefore propose a strike on EA/Maxis, I will no longer be buying any products sold by EA/Maxis or the 'Child' companies. I hope many of you will follow this example and put a stop to this ridiculous marketing tactic.

You say "ridiculous marketing tactic", I say "smart business practice".

As smart of a business practice it may be, it's painfully obvious that they didn't add a lot of content so they could release an expansion pack mere months after release.

"Smart business practice", maybe.

Complete disregard for their customers? Yes.

You're going to boycott a corporation because they're trying to make money?

That is stupid.

Would that involve boycotting BioWare? Didn't they get purchased by EA?

Even if you aren't counting them, still no. I agree that it does suck though.

I find myself liking EA and the games they are releasing. So no, I won't boycott them.
