EA is a very scary company these days... like some sort of gigantic blob that eats everything in its path?

and then digests it and turns it into sh*t.:mad:

EA ruined the BF francise with BF2:mad:

BF2 is the most sh*tily coded game I have ever played/moded.

EA also NEVER Fix's there freaking games and leaves unknown numbers of bugs in them never to be fixed, thats why I hate EA.

I have to take ECH/Chilly's sides here. EA ruins most games it gets a hold of. This isn't speculation. A short search on EA titles will show you there almost complete lack of support for their titles. It's crap, and the only thing they are concerned with is making money, they have no concern for the people that buy their games, or even for making quality games.

Saying that Take2 would financially benefit from this is silly, too. EA's track record shows that Take 2 would likely be closed, and that the only thing EA wanted from the acquisition is the rights to the studio name, and the games they own. And for what? So they can make their own GTA, that has less features, and terrible update support? I say good for T2 for turning them down.

I hope the EA bigwigs fall on their swords, the gaming world would be a better place.

I'm starting to wonder if EA has been stealing chimpanzees, chaining them to a PC and training them to make games.

Although there is no announcement yet (that I've come across) people are voting in their forums for a PC release.

I am sure they will eventually bring this title to PC which would only increase profit margins. I can see the business attraction towards Take 2 from this prospective.

EA Sucks, No offense but they ruined Sim City 5 a.k.a. Sim City Societies. I am an avid sim city fan and i will say that sim city 4 was the epotimy of the sim city franchise, and it was also the last Sim City developed under will wright and Maxis. S.C.S. however has been viewed by the Sim City community as a failure.

I can name a few games EA has ruined over the years.

Yea I agree pepsi71ocean, not that they haven't had some good games but the fact that they were rushed out and not complete. The other thing is they have swallowed up so many good companies and still cant get the job done. EA will be gone some day but not before they do serious damage with in the gaming industry not that they already haven't:(
