[QUOTE="razgriz_101"][QUOTE="Shielder7"] Yeah ok whatever buddy, when your argument fails just say it's different in the "Real World" Where things are so bad they got rid of their CEO.PurpleMan5000

At the same time acti have took less risks this gen, CoD is a massive cash cow and so is Skylanders, Acti Bliz alone relies off the IP's everyone clamours to outside those IP's what is really big at activision look at earlier this gen where they canned a LOT of games purely on the basis of profitability.

Activision are just more shrewd and taking less risks, EA's taking risks although those risks dont bode well with everyone but easily ignorable to most of us sane people.

What people need to remember Activision is essentially the EA that was last gen, this gen.

[QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"][QUOTE="razgriz_101"] have you actually looked at the state of the world economy right now, that plays a big role in peoples buying habits people are buying less luxuries and games, although he's made a few silly decisionsover his tenure much like Wada and Kotick CEO's are basically just overpaid targets for all the flak the company takes despite them not always being the sole decisions maker.razgriz_101

[QUOTE="PurpleMan5000"] The world economy doesn't seem to be affecting Activision much. Small indie games seem to be making a resurgence as well, while companies that that place an emphasis on treating their customers like criminals (EA, THQ, Capcom) are all bankrupt or doing terribly. Maybe used games aren't the problem after all, and people are just tired of online pass and garbage day 1 dlc.Shielder7

i dont think you understood what i meant by risks in the whole sense, online passes and microtransactions in games of their type can be seen as risks in a buisness sense.But they had Mirrors edge this gen, Skate was a perfect evolution of skateboarding games and insanely innovative mind you i doubt you'll have played skate the first one is the most unforgiving game ever much like the sport itself but highly rewarding.

I can't wait to buy some more EA titles. NHL 13 is so awesome!

Boycott M$ it's better for the industry and it's easy cause they have no games.

I support the developer, not the publisher.  Anybody who boycotts EA is doing more harm than good to the industry.  Obviously some games I understand (like Sim City), but EA owns some genuinly good developers, and their work deserves to be supported.

I still like some of their games. Not going to boycott.PonchoTaco

I hate EA but I wouldn't boycott them.

meh it's not like EA was making or publishing great games. The only series I ever cared that they had something to do with is mirror's edge. Unfortunately the battlefield series is the main focus of DICE

Which I have little doubt: "bonus" DLC:

Wall run: $5

Sprint: $5

 Many others, for the bargain price of $49!!!  Hey, sounds like a deal compared to paying $1 per clip in FPSes.  I'm looking forward to hearing their next brainstorm.

I've been boycotting capcom, ea and activision for a while now, I never buy their games I'll rent em but I wont give them my money.

what took you so long shielder? you seem to be a major alarmist to me yet I boycotted EA before you did...

I dont buy there games.

i haven't decided to boycott ea but im not buying their games from origin,they have to be on steam in order for me to even think about buying ea games.

jessejay420

Not I. I don't mind playing some of their titles.

[QUOTE="genfactor"]I'm not really boycotting them, they just haven't released anything I want to buy. I'm not a sports fan, I'm waiting for the re-release of the Mass Effect trilogy with all the DLC on disc (you know it's comming), and eventhough I want to play Sim City, I have no interest in paying for a broken product or having them brick my account and all the games I could have bought on origin because I went through My Credit card company to get a refund. It's not about hating or punishing EA, it's about being a smart consumer or paying attention to the "buyer beware" clause.Shielder7

Maybe on your forehead if you're so stupid you need it spelled out for you.

Nope not interested in any of that. Looking forward to NHL 14 and BF 4. Great failed atempt though. NHL series only advances in quality with each iteration so you really don't have a clue about what you're talking about. Oh that's right, why would you have a clue when you don't play EA games, duh! Nobody cares about opinions based on a lack of knowledge, so chew on that for a bit.

I rarely buy their games, and I don't think I will for a while. I'm not boycotting, it's just their games that aren't good enough.

Ive been boycotting EA since Mass Effect 2, OTHER then the fact that I bought ME3 just to complete the series I still havent bought any other game, and im glad.

I am not boycotting them. Because they simply don't make a lot of games I want to play. I only bought the Mass Effect Trilogi and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 from EA so far.

Don't care, I'll be buying BF4 and ME4 when they release, still need to buy Dead Space 3 as well when it gets cheaper.

EA has always been this way. Hated them when I was a kid and nothing has changed since except they now have more ways to exploit consumers. It's the same as when Activision started charging $15 for map packs. For every one person 'protesting' 10 more will shell out for their games/dlc. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. 

Don't care much for many EA games, and their business practices are atrocious, so yeah, I don't buy their shit. I have 10 games on Origin, every one of them I got for free by exploiting their promo code glitch a while back (didn't even have an origin account before that). Even at the price of $0, every one of those games except for Mass Effect 1 and 2 were disappointing, to the point that I could barely bring myself to finish them, and in some cases, didn't finish them. Crysis 3 and Mass Effect 3 are the only EA games on my radar I'm even remotely interested in, and I may pick them up when they can be had for $10 or less.
