Where do I start? The fact that some copies of the game were missing activation keys during launch, or how a low level player was banned for looting in a high level area...in a freakin' MMO! Oh, but that's not all, then they started banning players for using the breakdance function in-game because apparently, there's an exploit that makes you invincible. Instead of fixing the problem, they just banned everyone who did it. There's also another exploit that allowed high level players to take advantage of spawning turrets or something that they had to release a quick fix patch for...which ultimately, ended up causing more problems. But wait, it gets better, because apparently, the unsubscribe button vanished a few days before the end of the month and when people found a workaround and started telling other people on the forums how to fix it, BioWare deleted the threads and sent them warnings for breaking code of conduct, or some other BS like that. Eventually, they started billing people early, on top of the inability to unsubscribe. They're trying to BS their way out of this because there has been a 40% decline in subscribers during the FREE month. Last, but certainly not least, someone got banned for using a meme in the game. All that shit up there is nothing but BioWare, the supposedly godsend of Western videogame developers. Since I'm here though, let's throw more firewood onto the EA fire. EA shuts down Bright Light studios EA makes over $1 billion in revenue from digital distribution, Origins, online passes, etc. Origin necessary for Mass Effect 3 for the PC, fans react accordingly on the forums by dropping out entirely How do you like them apples? |

Really? Pretty sure YCobb used to use it a lot. XD You basically use it when you want clarification on something, or when you don't understand something. So like: "I am 12, what is this meme?" |

"I am 12 and what is this" mostly is used in reference to something that is very adult in nature, or is sort of a fucked up parody of something that is well known to children, e.g. seeing SonicxAmyxRouge hentai, and Amy and Rouge both have dicks, and Sonic is taking this suprisingly well As a side note, aren't MMOs themselves memes? Something that gets so much backlash for "game addiction" and was always a little tiny pocket of the market suddenly exploding into "EVERYONE NEEDS TO MAKE MMOS, EVERYONE" and then MMOs and microtransactions suddenly look like the future of gaming? And on the third note, I was thinking of buying Mass Effect a while ago. Now? Boycott EA. |

More or less, I was waiting until I get a decent computer, but now I'm not even interested. In fact, because of this constant stream of bullshit from Western publishers and developers, there's a lot of stuff I'm no longer interested in getting. Thanks EA, Activision and Ubisoft, thanks for fucking up the entire market for a lot of people. |

I think we really need to have a boycott movement going against the big-name companies. Of course, the issue is actually convincing people that's a wonderful idea... |

You just need to look at the link above on how Origin is necessary for Mass Effect 3 to see how freakin' stupid some people are. There is no way you can convince a majority of SHEEPLE to actually get off their asses and do that, because they're either apathetic, ignorant beyond reasoning or have no values or morals when it comes to these things. They'd gladly sell their souls to a company like EA, just so they can play their favourite games, despite how each new entry sucks more than the last and how the company is buttfucking them with a bunch of shit we'd never have tolerated 10 years ago. The fact of the matter is, modern gamers enjoy paying extra for DLC that's already on the disc, they have absolutely no problem with DRM or privacy invading software and are totally cool with glitch infested and unfinished products...they've been this way since gaming went mainstream back in 2005. People always ask why the industry treats it's consumers like idiots, why they constantly dumb down their games and keep releasing garbage as if anyone will buy it. The answer is plain and simple; people do buy it and they have absolutely no problems with it. |

[/america] Seriously. Replace the second part with a rant about buying deficient products from China and developing nations (harhar, that term) and replace the first part with just about everything else in our government at the moment. |

You know what I don't understand? Why is it mainly the PC crew that's mainly getting the buttfuck from EA/BioWare? You'd think that the console versions would get the same shit in a different package. And another thing I don't understand is why I've never been affected by anal-rapeage from getting the BioWare games either. It's like I keep dodging it unwittingly. Raging Zephyr: Dude, I said something along those lines nearly two months ago in this same topic. Edited by Arem, Jan 29 2012, 07:36 AM.

I must complete it. Even if this game looks like it's going to be a clusterfuck of epic proportions. |

Oh, I doubt the game will be that. It's just the stuff around it might be. And Psycho, you did it backwards. It's "SHUN THE NON-BELIEVERS!! SHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!!" Edited by Arem, Jan 31 2012, 10:10 AM.
