EA should think about customer relations more and how they are perceived as jerks.
I think some people are stronger than me and will boycott them permanently no matter what game they just released.
I have, however, been trying to buy used when I buy an EA title so they don’t get a new sale credit.
I am sure that they will find a way to mess that up on the console just like they did with Spore on the PC.
In the near future, we will be entering in license keys before we can play the next NEW EA title on the XBOX 360, it will talk to the EA license server and make sure that the key has been licensed to only one XBOX 360, and then 3 years later EA will no longer support that game on the license server and it will quit working no matter if you legitimately own the game or not.
Just wait, this is EA’s usual response to losing money. It is not the fact that they are evil $%##@!, it is the pirates and the game swapping, so let’s punish people that legally own their software by making some piece of crap restrictive license management system/policy. People hate you EA and the way you operate. Plain and simple.
EA loses $310 million, totally forgot where they put it
