What a bunch of greedy fucks. Seriously. It's ridiculous.

Seeing as I never use them anyway, I couldn't give much less of a shit than I do right now.  But yes, greedy bastards, they'll be the fall of mankind, watch for Armageddon coming to a game development studio near you, doom, horror, etc.  Honestly, do any of us expect any better out of those idiots?  My motto for some time now has been "fuck EA" and I see absolutely no reason to change it any time soon.

That's retarded.  Likewise, I haven't used cheatcodes or stuff like that in years and years and years.  The only time I really remember using them was like in Goldeneye for the N64.  But those cheats actually added to the game's fun and stuff.

The only thing I use when I need help is the occasional walkthrough. But yea this is absurd. Greedy Fucks is right.

EA has always done things to benefits gamers all around the globe.

I mean, hell -- Look what they did w/ BF 2142 with the ads, the number of small $30 expansions for Sims 1 and 2, and the System Shock license.

Those are some classic examples.

Damn, I remember back in the day EA was the shit.  What the hell are they doing?

Remember when Sierra was the shit? This is just how life is kids. Companies get bigger and the people who started them leave. Everyone has a price right? And the new big boys are people who went to business school, not games design school.

I still remember the first NFS game I played on my cousin's comp. It was like a dream.

edit:

Anyone see Scary's sig? I just noticed it first time myself.

No! I don't want a f**king guide!

That's pretty hilarious... especially with the crazy Bender avatar. But it is pretty funny, especially when they try to whore you a $25 guide when you already overpaid for a game.

I bought the limited edition Bradygames guide for Gears of War.  I know, I know... but it's super sexy, has this awesome cover and everything, and it comes with a substantial artbook with lots of great stuff in it!

Anyway... yeah.  My avatar now hates EA as well.

My avatar now says different stuff, but she still hates them.
