Call me a idiot then I been called worse. You actually think EA is a good company you must be one of the dumbasses you buy all  their bullsh8t they try sell you. They are greedy bastards but I guess you don't see that. So b*tch  you carry the fvck on now.

Everybody pick poll option #5 if you want to see TC get mad. He made this thread because he lost an argument to me in another thread.Zeviander

Micro$oft and Activision are by far the worst.

Why Activision winning over Capcom and EA? They havent done half the bad sh*t these two had. They didnt came up with online passes (hell not even CoD has those) and petty download practices. Sorry but both EA and Capcom should be winning this. Activision isnt half bad when its all said and done

Vatusus

yeah... just noticed that :oops:

EDIT: Huh, turns out he edited the link. No matter, the above statement still stands.

The fact that the title is entirely generated by an internet poll makes said title completely worthless.

Still wanna have to conversion huh? Your the one failing b*tch got to love how people talk sh*t about you on the internet. All over some thing about me saying EA is the worst its called an opinion.

That is NOT a good way to start a conversation, I feel sorry for you.faizan_faizan

Its still an fact no matter what. Majority people think EA is the worst and they are. You can't tell that their business practices are good.

I try to just put my opinion on this thread and then someone just comes on here and calls me a idiot seriously he didn't have to be rude but I guess that's how people on the internet are.

Why do I get the feeling that poll was also another result of ME3 ending outrage at the time?

I don't remember the last time I purchased an EA product. I just don't like it when people say dumb things, whoever it may be.

Im just saying dont know were you live but in America people hate EA peroid worst or not they are still one of the worst companies peroid. But if you wanna like EA be my guest.

Are you a douche bag to everyone that has a different opinion than you, or did you just have a bad day or something. Seriously whats your problem?Shielder7

From price fixing to blocking games to avoid competition, the answer is Nintendo.fernandmondego_

[QUOTE="Ly_the_Fairy"]Legality is not a synonym for ethicalZeviander

Things like always-online DRM aren't illegal, but they do hurt the consumer who buys games (like Diablo 3) and find themselves unable to access their product.

Again, legality has absolutely no bearing on how ethical something is.

And people being able to support other products also has no bearing on how ethical a company's practices are.

Whoever published War Z. End of story.

I'm sure most Americans have more important things to rage over besides microtransactions and online passes. (Not sure about the ones that live on the internet though).

I'm pretty sure they were unaware of the "unable to access their product" situation they found themselves in after buying and trying to play the game.Shielder7

K can I just call check mate on this guy now? Are we all in agreeance his argument and reasoning is just flat out ridiculous at this point?

[QUOTE="faizan_faizan"] LOL I didn't even know EA fanboys existed :lol:HaloPimp978

Me neither but you suprised in this world :lol:

Yes. This makes total sense.

So not being able to play a game you PAID for because of a system a publisher implemented (i.e. DRM) for their own gain isn't unethical on the publishers behalf, just a mere inconvenience for the gamer that he/she should just be expected to put up with?Shielder7

None, welcome to business kiddies. Ethics is for the weak.
