Grip4581d ago (Edited 4581d ago )

that's bad for Us as gamers! and unfair too!.. but anyway it will release tomorrow. Enjoy u Australian bastards and plz no spoilers

jozzah4581d ago

Your games are usually about $30-40 cheaper than ours here in Australia and everyone on PC still has to wait. Chill out.

BitbyDeath4581d ago

We didn't get Uncharted 3 until 3 days after you guys.

Saladfax4581d ago

If memory serves, many releases see long delays before arriving in Australia. They get one a day early? I'd say they've earned it.

maxbox994580d ago

In Canada we have EBgame does it mean I can go pick my copy???

limewax4580d ago (Edited 4580d ago )

Actually I am pretty sure the Australian PC copy is live anyway. People have been using VPNs to get a leg up all day. Here in the Uk it is only an hour away so I am pretty sure its live over there

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.

Hofstaderman8d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath28d ago

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

Chocoburger7d ago (Edited 7d 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.

isarai14d 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.

Cacabunga13d ago

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

MrBaskerville11d ago (Edited 11d 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.

InUrFoxHole11d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel14d ago (Edited 14d 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.

MrBaskerville11d 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.

ravens5213d 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_13d ago

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

MrBaskerville11d ago

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

KwietStorm_BLM13d ago

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

mudakoshaka13d ago

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

NotoriousWhiz13d ago (Edited 13d 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_13d 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.
