THQ Will auction off franchises
Harm94:
So why games that EA has published like command and conquer 4, mass effect 3, recieve poor reviews and negative criticism? Why does FIFA 13 look like FIFA 12? Why is every Madden game the same? Why are you defending a company that sales overpriced dlcs? A company that wants to wipe out the used game market? Created stuffty drm software? That tried to Buy Valve and Gearbox recently? Because, EA is run by greedy investors.
I will blow up your house with a bomb that will produce four different colored explosions. Because opinions matter.
fawkes..:
EA also has really stuffty servers for FIFA that always seem to be down or go down whilst you're winning someone
Jerkface:
EA releases a game, and after a few years they take down their official servers.
Reasons this is bad:
-Players are not allowed custom servers.
-You must use EA servers.
-Even single player games require a login to play, no matter what. Login must be achieved through EA servers specifically for each game.
EA does not offer free DLC.
Reasons this is bad:
-They charge full-price for the main game.
On this note, the main games never include much. See "Sims", any version/year/make.
-The DLC can cost up to the same price of the original game per. Each DLC doesn't add much.
-EA releases tons of DLC for each game. DLC requires the EA servers to attain, download and use, and the payments for each DLC does not. I have an old The Sims game with a "Living Large" DLC from when I was younger. The DLC is not available for me anymore, as it was not purchased as a disk. Contacting EA, I was informed that it would work if it were a disk, and that I should buy a used one seeing as they no longer make them.
I dunno, all the EA talk made me rant.

Koch Media bought Volition and the Metro IP, Crytek bought Homefront, Take 2 bought Evolve, and Ubisoft took Montreal and South Park: The Stick of Truth Sega took Relic, No bids for Vigil.
$500k for Homefront, $5.8m for Metro, $3.2m for South Park, $26m for Relic, $2.5m for Montreal, $11m for Evolve, $22.3m for Volition.
Why does nobody want vigil? :(

Crytek bought out homefront? I thought they were owned by ea?
