How little we knew that it would be so true. Spyware in an EA product. Has it really come to this for large gaming companies? Id like to think not. But its true EA has released BF2142 with spyware:cry:. Included in the box is a notice basically saying "If you dont want to deal with our spyware simply install the game on a computer not connected to the internet". Yeah right, a multiplayer based game not hooked up to the internet. Perhaps its so we can take a pic of the icon on our desktop with a digital camera and send it off to freinds saying, Yeah I got BF2142. But I cant play it with you sorry but its not hooked up to the internet. This is the sort of thing weve come to expect from random "free" software from shady developers. But EA? We knew they were evil but wow, are they really trying to corner the market on it?
Ill of course join with the small band that dont buy the game. In this move to ban EA games we will officially do nothing...WOOTZORZ! The fact is they couldve probly released the game free and gained more money off the company whos spyware they shoved in their game alone than BF2 got overall. Best we can hope is noone else follows in their footsteps. Cause frankly if this is the future of gaming ill stick to the past, thank you.
brought to you by the folks at EA.
