we know that

what's left now is to find out what it is and how to stop it or maybe even protect ourselves from it

let me take a guess at what they are gonna do, Fifa 09 will have manditory roster updates that require micropayments

Burnout unlocking new cars will cost $5 a piece.

Or maybe even forcing developers to make games every 6 months

those damn EA bastards

Hey, I know it's cool to bash EA without any facts because it makes you popular online with your "friends" but here's a dose of reality for you.

You say that EA will charge $5 to unlock Burnout Paradise cars. The reality is that Criterion Games has already released the first of four FREE updates (not patches) to Paradise.

In total, the updates will add a new island to drive, more vehicles, motorcycles, new game modes, and night driving. All of this is free.

This is of course, just good news for gamers and it's from EA, so it's not the type of stuff that makes for sexy comments.

So alright, let the EA bashing continue because let's face it, you want to look cool online.

And no I don't work for Criterion.

you see, Criterion have released free cars not EA, they put their foot down and said we're giving free updates EA. BTW i said next burnout they cant iniate an evil plan yet, you already have all the cars ;)

Now EA is their publisher but losing Criterion would be bad and they know the burnout games are going to go downhill without Criterion.

You should thank the devs for the free updates and DLC because most of the Publishers tell them to charge for it.

If it were a little studio, they would be screwed and would HAVE to listen to their publisher.

If they are worth money and know that they an create great games that the publisher needs then can say something about it.

All in all i agree(rather than just blantly disagreeing with my joke) with you, but past experiences have put me against EA, not necassarily the greed but the crap games i spent my money on only to find out its no different than the last game or they killed a game

EA has some great games, Fifa 08 (PES was better before this game) Burnout, Guitar hero and Rock Band, There are probably way more games i can't think of right now.

or maybe(most probably) EA has invented some evil way to make it seem like something is free and some how rip of our money from it

"your free DLC,
just enter credit card info for confirmation
don't worry, your credit card information is safe
you wont have to spend a cent
because all your money is in our hands now"

Bioshock is owned by Take 2, not EA. I agree with you though about people to stop bashing EA.

And Take Two is owned by EA, just like Bioware, who makes MassEffect, is owned by EA.
