All they have to do to ruin CM games is make you use Origin! The absolute worst game launcher in the history of game launchers.

I bought a game I had skipped before because it was only on Origin when it came to Steam. Only to realize it still needed Origin. Now, I get the pleasure of logging back into Origin and providing my MFA about 90% of the time when I launch the game!!! What a smoking pile of crap. I tried to report the bug and for almost a month the bug reporting was broken. They've updated it twice since then, it has improved from 100% of the time. I just don't understand how you screw this most basic principle up. I log into my PC, check the box to stay logged in and yet nearly every time I launch the game I have to log back in again!

Why do you keep on inflicting yourself such torments ? It's broken, it won't be fixed, time to vote with your wallet and stop supporting companies if they don't deserve it !

LOL the only way I'll ever play another EA game is if I get given it for free or I pirate it and even then I'd still probably not play it, but I'd really like to see them redo Porsche 2000 and leave the lan plan in cause that used be fun

I just pirate them now AND THEN UNINSTALL IT. Muahaha. Whos laughing now!

I think the best EA content is legacy stuff. Before greed killed the whole idea of good gaming one way or another...

i used to love Grid. My roommate & i would race LAN all the time. Recently i bought dirt rally 2.0 & was having fun. its not very realistic sim like, but its fun enough. i am an adult, with a family. so i played when i could. Over about 2 weeks, i logged 17 hours of real world game play progress. i was finishing a race one night, & I kept getting this error, saying something about server communication not responding, save data does not match, etc. it reset ALL of my progress. i lost 17 hours of real time progress. i was playing singleplayer, why would they link single player offline mode progress , to a online server? im aware this is common these days, unless you have internet many games are nothing more than a desktop icon, & a $60 payment. But losing progress like that ruined the game for me in an instant. I was even able to get over my rage after a few days & start trying to re-do what i had done, then 4 hours of real world progress in , it happened again, & reset nearly all of my new progress. i uninstalled the game then. steam told me to F off in terms of a refund. codemasters is not my favorite dev, they have strayed far from the Dev that released games with awesome LAN local matches, & i know no dev's offer LAN any more, atleast its not common, but that server communication crap for singleplayer is nuts, all for some stupid achievement badges that no one with any sense cares 2 shits about.

Thanks for the heads up. Unwishlisted it and will put that money towards something with less aggressive DRM.

Not sure how I feel about this acquisition. I guess i'm ready for it. Cautiously hoping EA doesn't fuck this up.

It's EA so you know 1000% they'll fuck it up just like everything else they touch

ah I don't know about that, they did Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and I finished it and thought it was a brilliant game. I admit the DRM is a bit annoying though.

Because Disney doesn't play.

Because Disney doesn't play.

I paid for a game. I played it. I enjoyed it. I uninstalled it. I moved on with my life.

I no longer care about this thread.

Like I said didn't know I needed Origin to play it. It's Dragon Age Inquisition the only game in the series I hadn't finished. I love the Dragon Age games, I only paid like $10 for it on sale, so it's not like they made much on it anyway.
