Re: Why do everyone Hate EA so **** much?!

There are too many whiners about. If you hate EA, stop buying their games. I dont keep eating sprouts & whining "But I hate sprouts", I just dont eat them. Jeez.

I do find it amusing how people will bitch about EA, but they will buy their stuff. I have alot of games and addons for flight sim as well and NOTHING is perfect and it never will. I think the game developers over all do their best. I would like to see some of these winers try to program their own game, it is alot of work and very time consuming.

A correction, if you own 50.1% or more of a companies shares you own the company, therefore ea own dice.

I know, as long as it's majority, but EA owns...ah screw it, let me look it up again. :p

http://media.corporate-ir.net/media_files/IROL/88/88189/reports/2005_AR.pdf

From the EA 2005 Annual Report: "EA also completed a tender offer for shares of Stockholm-based developer Digital Illusions and now owns approximately 68 percent -- a controlling interest in the company. EA continues its successful long-term publishing relationship with Digital Illusions, and in June 2005, we released one of the year's most anticipated PC-games -- Battlefield 2TM."

So yeah, EA owns a lot more than just enough to be a controlling interest, that was what I was trying to stress, it's not just by a couple of shares. :p

Side note: Fans of Ubisoft, enjoy their games while you can, directly after the statement about DICE in the EA 2005 Annual Report: "EA also purchased 19.9 percent of Ubisoft."

I'm of the % that has had no problems at all and I have not seen or experienced any of the bugs I've seen people complaining about. Game has always worked great for me. I also think EA is a great company. I won't speak for customer service mind you but I have to say I like quite a few of their games. EA make so many games, or publish so many games that are good.

Also keep this in mind. you could have bought and played 100 EA games and loved them all. Then you buy a game that you like a lot but has some major bugs and because you are now so upset over the problems you have You lash out at the cause IYO of the problems: in this case EA.

you can have many good experiences in life but its the bad ones that you remember the most.

(my use of "you" does not mean YOU, I was generalizing.)

and of course this is only m/o

I'll agree EA makes a lot of games, and has a history of good games they have released. It's the trend they are taking with their games, in this aspect of why people don't like them, that's really getting them a lot of heat. The games are slowly declining in support, content, functionality, just about every aspect that should make a game what it is, EA isn't releasing it in the games they publish, while their competitiors, despite EA being the industry leader (and stating that a lot in that annual report I linked to), manage to out-do them in this area. I do believe that's why a lot of people are ticked at EA. That and their beloved BF2 is loaded with bugs that have been there since the demo. :p

Nvidia bought out 3DFX and led to demize of an entire 3d technology, yet I don't see people bitch about Nvidia.

I still have a VooDoo 3 3500. 16MB of raw power! I do miss 3DFX though. Would probably have one of their cards right now if they were still around.

BTW, the way Nvidia bought 3Dfx was also hostile. basically, you buy out your competitor and tell them to go home.

actually the building, the logos, are still there, somewhere in silicon valley. but an empire has fallen, of course.

Unless you're running Linux, then their drivers can be annoying, oh what, that has nothing to do with anything.

wow, great post! I wish I read more like that here. I hang out at this forum because I like this game a lot. Thats why I sometimes come off harsh in peoples threads because I get frustrated about all the negative things I read here. I'm here because I like the game and it seems a lot of people are here to hate on it. I honestly think a lot of the haters actually like the game a lot but are frustrated as well for the problems they have and I understand that completely. The way they choose to express their feelings is what ticks me off most times.
