Vapourware LOL ELECTRONIC ARTS: The EA Thread

So you want to do it more as a financial simulation than an actual footballing. NOw if you think FM is "select 11 names and hope for the best" then that just means you are not very good at the game and possibly know little about the sport you play.

i quit football manager when i noticed i got the *habit* of taking second division teams and bring them to win everything at once in no more than 5 years.
yeah, i definitely know little about it.

holy fucking cristopher lee.
and people want to speak about videogames...

I only blame the audience.
It's like with politicians, really. As long as people, even grunting and moaning, keep giving them their vote, said politicians have the universal right to abuse of the idiotic life forms that insist on enabling their power.

See, EA could literally go bankrupt next month, if people stopped paying for their services.
But people aren't stopping, at least not in an abrupt manner, so if EA is still alive it's the consumers' fault, and no one else's.
(that potentially includes me as well, since I'd buy the next Mirror's Edge in a heartbeat, if it came out tomorrow).

 

[Zewp]

I wonder, if EA went bankrupt tomorrow, how long would it take for most of the gaming press to start filing for bankruptcy as well?

 

[Xor]

They wouldn't. There's still Activision to keep them afloat.

This thread is therapy for me ...

It reminds me that there are still people with critical thinking skills and common sense in the world.

So tired of all the naive idiots on other sites who believe all the bullshit the industry feeds the public.

 

[Daedalos]

FUCK YOU, EA. No amount of backtracking will ever redeem your damaged reputation.

You fucked up too much shit to ever gain my respect.

Someone with good critical thinking skills would come to the conclusion that there's no such thing as common sense.

Someone with common sense would probably understand whatever point you are trying to make.

Common sense tells you that the sun moves across the sky, not that the earth is rotating.

That's just poor measurement, not common sense.

 

[Unkillable Cat]

Common Sense isn't.

Well if MS is doing it EA might as well try to bribe people into being kind to their stillborn games.

NeoTards again cared only about corporates.
There is fine example of cancer that kill gaming and all they ask is "Y u do show it, Itz agains contracts, hurr durr nog".
Geez...

Do not make a video that focuses on glitches in the game

Sure, just wait till game launch and be stable for longer than one minute.

 

[Telengard]

Max of three videos per participant. $10 per CPM. So, the pay to be a secret EA shill is 30 pieces of silver dollars per thousand views on all three videos.

Trying to buy 'em on the cheap again, eh, EA?

 

[AlexOfSpades]

If EA was 100% honest with us...

 

[CSM]

 

[Unkillable Cat]

That video... at first I was wondering why EA is being slammed for managing to have the same theme tune in every game in the same series, but then...

 

[J1M]

So the guy who made the NFS videos that got 6,000,000 views made $60,000 for uploading three videos?

Not a bad deal for three uploaded videos.

Maybe EA isn't as stingy as I thought.

Do the math on BF4.

Youtube gives you between 1 and 8 grand per million views.

And EA continues to leak money, as expected.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

God damn that's good to hear.

 

[Average Manatee]

It's funny because it's really easy to spam youtube views. I'd be surprised if someone wasn't doing so for easy money.

 

[Sranchammer]

The silver lining: Overall digital revenues were up 27 percent year-over-year, to $517 million.
