Buying games published by EA...

[Felron]

Am I the only person here who just can't anymore? I was appalled by how they treat their workers, and I think it's really disgusting that they would even build a company by driving their employees to the bone.

I really wish I could have learned about this sooner, because i wouldn't have bought Burnout 3 new. I'd much rather give my money to a local store, than to feed the pocket of a terrible publisher.

I hope this lawsuit goes through, and these people get EA games to look at what they've done, and shape up. Until then, I won't be buying another game [new] published by EA games, and I suggest you do the same.

There will likely be a lot of gaming companies you won't be buying from if you learn more about them.

Oh they have been doing this for years. I played Ultima Online for 6 years (up until last year) and EA was nasty to Origin Systems. It really started to all go down hill after they outsourced all their GM's to 3rd world countries, and these people had no connection to the game or the communities and they acted like punks to people. People were flaming EA and Origin systems so bad that they closed down their forums and thumbed their noses at the subscribers. Alot of people quit buying EA stuff after that as well as myself. Last game I bought from EA was BF1942 and that is pretty much it. Yeah I hope thay turn their act around, that would be good.

I know that crunch time in the games industry happens and is a rough time for the developers, but EA seems to be pushing it way too far.
