@hishamramzan EA isn't the company that 'makes' those games. Hard working developers that EA buys out and forces into terrible working conditions...make those games.
EA can get sold and maybe those developers will get treated like human beings, and you'd likely get higher quality products from each franchise.
@vault-boy Because you can tell what he is THINKING right?Just because he thinks something doesn't make it right, but you aren't a mind reader either. So try not to be so condescending because you disagree.
@Shame-usBlackley @XanderZane Its pretty obvious if you look at Shame-usBlackley's posts he is a Sony fanboi that does zero research, just spits out trash. I'm not saying the PS3 isn't good, he's just all about talking trash on Microsoft, and has flat out lied several times in this article's comments. Just let 12 year olds think they are super smart and cool and lets all return to reality.
@Shame-usBlackley You are missing the point. ALL CONSOLES ARE LOSING SALES COMPARED TO THEIR OWN SALES LAST YEAR.
Seriously, how dense can you get.
These numbers mean nothing for any specific console maker. It means that people are waiting for next gen. Period. Your personal opinion doesn't really matter. If people weren't playing the Xbox, the XBL subscriptions wouldn't have went up by 15% and their profits from XBL Gold subs wouldn't have gone up. You're opinion is null and void.
What you think is what one person thinks, not the world.
@Mozuckint My friend that moved to Austin knows a former employee of Bioware Austin (was hit by the first round of layoffs). They all knew it was coming, but people want a steady paycheck and they ride it out. If they get a pink slip, then they get a decent amount in unemployment at their pay grade. Paid vacation while they secure another job.
He also said that SWTOR active player base went down to about 600k or so after the first month. While they can say techinically that they have a million subs, that's only because most of those bought 3-6 month subs and they got 1 month free. Their active player base is absolute crap though. Look for the next sub announcement to be 600ish K, if not lower.
@mechmaster525 EA forces games to release early and release with less content so they can sell more DLC later. So no matter what, if its under EA it won't be as good as if it was under someone else.
