EA is back!
Posted 10-28-2009 at 11:15 PM by That1Guy
We all know the story of how three knights(Dave, Doc, and Lono) set out on a quest to stop the stupid pricing bullshit of Bad Company. Since the beginning of this year I have noticed something, EA IS DOING IT AGAIN!
I think it started in Skate 2 where they didn't put all of the Replay Editor's feature on the disc but instead put on the XBL marketplace for 400 Microsoft Points. Sigh.
After that I didn't notice much from EA but when Madden '10 came out I lost my mind. The Online Franchise Mode was the biggest thing Madden '10 had going for but instead of putting it on the disc like I thought it would be, they put on the Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Points. Wow. What amazes me still is that people bought it.
I can't wait until Madden '11 when I go to the game store, pick up my $60 copy, go home and see that its just the demo and the rest of the game is DLC.

Well, you've got to be kidding me. EA looked like it cleared up its act, but apparently not so.
Damn these publishing companies looking to milk the consumer as much as possible. |

i'm still waiting till The Sims 3's annocement which reads "PAY £3.99 A PIECE FOR BUILDINGS INSIDES DLC" most of the fricken buildings you can't go see the inside of so i'm assuming EA Games had this idea.
I've noticed a lot of companies doing this trying to charge us at every knook and cranny they can get us from. |

@Timewarp please don't give them ideas.
But yeah, this is pretty crappy. I'm just glad I'm not a fan of NFL, otherwise I'd be pissed. |
