can we blame EA for the 50% off if you got BF Premium? on top of the 20% Never Settle bundle which has 20% for MoH:W? redface.gif

I love how EA claims "loss" when they still made money. Boohoo

To be honest though that will never happen.

You are wrong on many levels here. The problem with EA isn't console ports or origin (FYI, nearly everyone makes console ports). I can live with console ports, fact of the matter is that nearly every games company does this because it's hard to make a viable PC only game. The real issue with EA is the fact that they swallow good developers such as bullfrog and bioware, and then destroy and semblence of integrity and quality that they once had. Bioware is a mere shadow of its former self now because of EA. The quality of Dragon Age 2, for instance, is horrible compared to the excellent DA:O.

I have no issue with Origin. Its whatever. I am angry that they destroyed bioware (among others), however.

Games are bad so people don't buy them.

I am jeenyus.

You know you're doing something wrong when I contemplated buying BF3 for $5 but bought a skin in LoL instead.

Could have got an entire game, decided to buy meaningless skin.

that should read its easier and cheaper to make a console game ..

And you say you have no issue with console ports but is that not the reason DA2 is horrible ?? I have no idea what DA 2 is never played it..

Some of you guys don't seem to understand that the reason they blame MoH as part of the loss is that they have already spent the money to produce it, but it has not had time to bring that money back through sales. Personally though, with the harsh reviews it's been getting, I'm not sure if MoH will ever be profitable for them.

EA should just quit humping potentially profitable IPs into submission.
