Gibeau also cleared up the firm’s stance on Wii U support.

    Seems to me like complaining is pretty effective, if it can actually penetrate whatever death star EA operates from.

    Of course it remains to be seen whether Gibeau is just lying through his teeth.

    Don’t forget they did have a change of management recently, DSB. It seems they’re becoming a little more open and receptive to listening to what people want. At least that’s how it’s looking from where I’m standing.

    Why don’t they “formulate” some better fucking games. Maybe folks wouldn’t bother trading them in hmmmmm??

    You know what would be the best thing ever? If all the publishers saw the huge backlash over this used game nonsense and they all opted out of it. Then Microsoft will have destroyed their reputation for absolutely nothing.

    Of course, this is EA (and Activision, and Ubisoft, etc etc), so it won’t happen that way….

    @5 I honestly haven’t watched their conference :) Madden, Fifa, NFS, what else did they show? Were you?

    @8 I was.

    Plants vs. Zombies tactical shooter (looks better than it sounds, trust me), Mirror’s Edge reboot, Dragon Age 3 with the return of Claudia Black as Morrigan, and Battlefield 4 multiplayer with the return of Commander Mode and some rather impressive physics.

    Wasn’t half bad at all.

    @7 – How is that the best thing ever? Believe it or not, despite Microsoft seemingly not currently being in the best interest of the consumer (with the DRM), competition in the market is. Microsoft remaining in the market causes healthy competition for the industry, which is in the best interest for the consumer as it means a company wont just shit on the consumer by owning all the market power and doing what they want. If Microsoft’s reputation is destroyed and they can’t recover, you’d deduct competition from the market. I could talk business theory all day but I’ll just short hand it. TL;DR – Competition is good for consumer.

    @8 Well, they announced titles like Titanfall, Mirror’s Edge 2, new Star Wars Batllefront, Battlefield 4 and Dragon Age 3: Inquisition. Yeah, it was a pretty good presentation :P However, there was a sports section in there which didn’t interest me, so you were right on that.

    @2 Talk is cheap.

    They’ve had a lot of opportunities to frame themselves in a positive light recently, but so far it’s been business as usual.

    Their PR has aggressively been trying to paint their critics as either a vocal minority or homophobes, so personally I’m far from convinced that they’re suddenly gonna stop being dicks just because the deck gets shuffled.

    EA have their selfs to blame, they make some bad games that don’t sale…Army of Two, Fuse, ect does bad due to them being poor games, not because ppl traded them in.

    Used games doesn’t seem to effect Battlefield, Fifa ect from doing big numbers, make better games and people will buy them, gamers are not stupid, we will not pay full price for a shit game..Period

    This proves, that we gamers have the power, to stop these money grabbing CEO’s holding us to ransom, like they were trying to do with the Next Generation of Consoles, what I have seen these past few weeks is consumer power, and I love it :)

    They deserve criticism, but I agree completely that “worst company in America” is a bullshit title tacked on them that destroys its own validity by mere fact that there’s no way in hell EA is worse than companies like Bank of America that actively ruin lives.
