EA may be outta here

For those not in the know, Nexon makes a lot of free to play MMOs but always has crazy cash shops. If they wind up buying EA we may see even more microtransactions in games.

I can't even imagine how much you'd pay for EA.

Eleventy two gazilla-squillion dollars and thirty eight cents ?

( I know a lot of us consider the thirty eight cents too much. )

And when you buy em do you have to pay an extra $10 before they'll make games?

EA would be considered a used company. Would need to also purchase "online" pass

May be the shittiest, but it doesn't mean its not profitable. 

 

I don't understand consumers. They complain and complain, but still run out and buy the game and pay for the DLC anyways. So technically like an addiction, you know you don't like sucking dick but still you do in order to buy your crack.

supporting EA is something i have a very hard time with. i havent bought a madden in ten years and i havent bought a new ncaa in that long. they treat gamers poorly and that means passing on good games like battlefield and the sports titles.

I bought EA games for a short time when it looked like they were finally getting it (in particular saving Brutal Legend from the Activision axe).  I think it's been 2 years since I bought something they published.
