Yeah, like we don't remember what happened with Jeff Gerstman a few years back.

It's already happened once, and there's no reason to believe it's not still happening, with all AAA releases scoring almost perfect scores on the big sites, while most of them were complete shit.

3D Visual Novels like Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls are not games.

Games are defined by their gameplay. Everything else is secondary.

Politics in games, games accepted by the broader audience, games as an art medium....

Remember when games were just about having fun? Yeah.

Bringing personal political opinions into a game review in order to appeal to a demographic that doesn't even play games.

Gameing journalism has always been shlt, but damn, this is a new low.

And nothing of value was lost.

Social services, TV, web browsing, media library...

Uhhh, remember when consoles were about VIDEOGAMES?

I'll stick with PC and handhelds.

It's EA though...it's bound to be pay2win crap with loads of DLC.

SimCity's always online wasn't DRM? Then please explain how you can play offline by changing a single line of code please.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, look it up on neogaf, a member found a line of code that when changed allows for offline play. Only saves are not supported like this (yet) because they are forced to EA's cloud storage.

Hypocrisy and lies won't save you now EA. John Ravioli was just the first step.

I guess the new Xbox will require you to check your privilege before playing any game.
