EA Origin adds 11 new publisher catalogues

Lemme just take 2 seconds to rationally consider this event.

...

Ok, not let me just think for 2 seconds longer how I should word it.

...

Nope, Still don't give a flying rat's ass!
Sorry but nothing has changed in the last 12 months. Viper summed up the core of it quite nicely.

I'd say my problem with Origin is also not the technology, but the company.
As mentioned already by some other people, the ridiculous prices for older games, suspension of accounts without proper cause, EULA and the list goes on... Just read the news around EA in the last couple of months.

Add to that, the fact that I already have a great digital distribution client that provides me with great prices and does everything it is suppose to.

Oh, and Strifehart, for some of us - the need to fit in with the cool kids is nowhere near big enough to reject our base moral requirements from a developer/distributor.
And for the last year, EA has been nothing but the Satan of the industry. With Activision being those aliens that probe yer butt while you're sleeping.

What does buying a game VS not buying a game have to do with popularity?

Question... Who are the cool kids and what does that have to do with the price of potato soup?

I buy games developed/published by who ever as long as I enjoy the game, I personally could not give a fat fanboy's hairless scrotum about the cool kids or what they stick up their noses.

There will always be some big bad corporation that the poor trampled on people feel exploits them, be it EA, Activision, MS or Apple. If gaming has become such a pain for you here is a though... pack up your toys and take up reading or something. This endless debate & wanting to categorise people for choosing to play what they want on whatever they want makes me sick & has brought me, as someone who will oneday develop games, to hate the snotty little fucks who call themselves gamers.

Well they should be pretty fucking retarded to call themselves games, nevermind being snotty little fucks.

Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed now.

Why change, gamers whine, they always whine. Bring out the nicest, bestest new product and they will whine because its not more like a 15 year old product that predates most modern technology. I dont consider the developers fuckwits, even with games like Duke Nukem forever, Bulletstorm or MW3 that I outright hated. Its about what sells thats all. Maybe during the course of my career I'll make 1 great game that expresses my vision but the other 100 odd titles will be clones of shit that has been remade a million times because games buy it and thats what makes money and if the studio that I will work for is to survive and keep me employed wants to continue existing will just have to suck it up and give the legion what that want.

Modern Warfare 3 made $1bn in 16 days.... the legion has spoken.

/justsayin': you forgot Rage (teehee)

Yeah well, as much as I hate certain developers, I hate the "masses" equally.
"The Legion" is comprised of 94.7% functional retards imo.

PS: rebirth Contra and I will like you as a developer.

Well yeah, Rage i guess could fall into that category also although its shortcomings are more due to the developer not changing with the times than simply pumping out something that is bound to sell.

No point hating the developers, they are just trying to stay in business. I hate the masses that are perpetuating the problem by creating a demand.

Something we can agree on.
