except for the fact that you don't like EA!

Again, infinetely more complex than that. And again, what they name it is of little consequence to me. It's that the EA Indie Bundle sounds like it should be some cruel, hypothetical joke, not a satirical, misdirected, greedy reality... Which is also fairly funny if you don't care about most people, I suppose.

The word Indie is so abused, even as the vague marketting term it's been given, which is for some reason considered a genre by so many. (I'm NOT talking about EA directly here.)

Good Game
 

Hex: Yes, you've read the book, you've seen the film - now avoid the game like the plague lest your memory of Harry Potter's epic conclusion be tainted by what can only be described as a short, half-arsed cover-shooter that's boring beyond belief.

Bajo: ...It's shit.

What should they have called it, if not what it is?
The "Shut the Fuck Up and Give Us your Money, Corporate Slave" Bundle? >:3

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

EA reports that the number of Star Wars: The Old Republic subscribers has dropped by 400,000. Previusly holding 1.7 million subscribers, the number of players now sits on 1.3 million. EA says that this is a result of trial players opting not to go for a paid subscription, while speculation points at boycotting for something completely unrelated (read: ME3).

Certainly not because the space missions are a glorified clone of Starfox.

Or that PSO2 is a better MMO.

Or that most MMOs (like PSO2 [/shamelesswhorin]) are F2P, a more affordable and popular option in this day and age.

SWTOR is rather expensive to play online. With the money I could spend on that for a year, I'd stay on Xbox Live for four years.

Note that they took the figures just as they had a free period for players who were currently paying for accounts
Seems like an incentive to drive up their figures to me ;)

Pretty much anyone who isn't a biodrone knows that the 1.7m was a bullshit number from the get-go. It may have been free subscribers, but it certainly wasn't anywhere near to the number of active players.

Also, game is pretty drull, lets all just move on to supporting companies that try yet still struggle, like SEGA. :D (/another shameless plug for PSO2)

EA related...

Dead Space 3 confirmed by EA.

Insert required Origin-enabled online pass as I piss myself in fear. And from the looks of things, it's looks to be resemble Resident Evil 5. Despite the co-op function, some of the descriptions of the new Necromorphs chill my blood.

Since it's been so long since we've had a proper EA article to rage against:

EA will eventually be 100% digital

Let's just say I hope Dragon Age III won't be one of them. Because if it isn't, I'll never be able to finish things up without buying used!

I bet ten rubles they go bankrupt after going full digital, since Steam still beats them like an unwanted red-headed orphan with a cleft lip.

...I don't understand this part. If EA does go full digital by DAIII's release, you won't be able to buy it used.

Again, I have no idea what you meant by this post, so please clarify. That said, fuck you, EA.
