Well if they want a bigger fan base Steam is necessary..

ATi_Elite4897d ago

Here we go!!

For 1 I'm not interested in Bulletstorm, sorry!!
but Microsoft is just gonna throw money at developers to put their games on GFWL, I'm not using GFWL. I'll buy a game retail then download a crack just like i did with Arkham Asylum to bypass GFWL.

If Microsoft would take that money, enhance Microsoft game studios and put out some very good games I would have more respect for them but just throwing money at developers to gain market share, NO i'm not helping out your shareholders.

I have ZERO issues with STEAM, MAC or PC and STEAMS DRM is cool with me along with auto patching. GFWL is garbage and I want ZERO to do with XBOX LIve cause I see it coming. Not trying to offend consolers but I don't pay to play online and I see M$ doing this with PC.

FantasyStar4897d ago

Holy shit, NO.

GFW sucks. Period. Not up for debate.

NYC_Gamer4897d ago

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai9d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga9d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole6d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville6d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens529d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_9d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville6d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM9d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka8d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_9d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

badboyz0912d ago (Edited 12d ago )

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
