That is so god damn illogical. EA needs to ****ing stop this bullshit and reassess their entire business. Because they can't keep pulling this crap.
Because boo to SP, no one likes SP, we all love shitty MP that's tacked on to most games, and populated by morons in the others. Oh EA, the hole you dig is so so deep now.
Bad press is better than no press. That's the only reason why every month, someone big corporate cock-sucker at EA talks about their high-end gaming platform. They stay relevant. Even if it means ignoring a fan-base that prefers single player only games. Right, wouldn't want to sell millions of copies and win game of the year awards like Skyrim. Oh goodie. Digital Rights Management. Everyone loves that.
I don't see how this works. Single player games are always the highest rated games by fans and critques alike. The reasons single player isn't selling as well for them as in the past is because of their generally mediocre experiences when making one. I also don't see how this is possible for companies they own, like Bioware, who have created almost exclusively single player games since their foundation, how the hell is this any sense?
