Creative, masters of the annual driver update. Lords of dropping support for year-old sound cards as soon as they release a new model. Experts at being completely unreachable for tech support when hundreds of users report identical issues. Geniuses at writing drivers that are 10% driver, 90% bloat. The epitome of the half-arsed driver uninstall.
Blizzard most likely got sick of screwing with Creative and decided to ignore them. Perhaps if more developers would do the same, they'd learn to stop playing sound card monopoly and actually work for their customers.

I love when you purchase a lifetime subscription, and a month later the company is bought out and the new owner tells you you have to purchase a new lifetime subscription for the same product.

One can complain about the intrusiveness or appropriateness, but do give up on the 'they should cost less' nonsense. I bought my first PC game for $50. I bought my most recent PC game for $50. Everything else out there has doubled in price in the same period of time. Wages have increased significantly. Minimum wage now matches a 'respectable income' then. We should be jumping up and down, amazed that games aren't running $85 each in a world where game companies are going bankrupt left and right and accepting a loss on most of the their titles in the hope that one in twenty makes up for it.
I despise in-game advertising as much as the next guy, but lay off with the 'does it cost less?' nonsense - it makes us all look stupid.

The NIMF are important. They give Jack Thompson someone to quote, which keeps Jack Thompson in business. Jack Thompson does us a real service by being so vocal - he makes everyone involved with the issue look like idiots.
Thanks, NIMF!

You have a business. You can sell to 1/4 of the potential customers or to 3/4 of the potential customers. Don't forget that if you don't make money, you lose your job and/or your business.
Now whiny little twits go and complain because you run your business like a business. What a woyld, what a woyld.

You know, this digital photo of my kids over here is 1.1MB. Does that mean it was 10% more work than War and Peace? I'd hate to imagine how much work went into some of my MP3s! That YouTube clip of some kid singing a pop song on his webcam must be the equivalent of Tolstoy's entire life's work!
Logic ain't what it used to be.

I've played a lot - and I mean a lot - of shooters over the last decade. Daikatana, beginning to end, was one of them. Daikatana wasn't a great game, or even a particularly memorable game, but I've played a whole lot of shooters that were worse than Daikatana. It actually had some fun levels (I really enjoyed the Greece areas.)

Oh, dear! Not another WWII game, because, you know, you'd HAVE to play it. It isn't the same as when people don't like - say, sports games - and have the choice to ignore them while people who like feetball have the option to do something they enjoy. Obviously, if YOU don't like WWII games, they shouldn't be made, as those who enjoy them obviously just need an intervention.
No, what we need is another modern military shooter. Oh, wait - how about a space marine game. Better yet, how about another one of those 'sit in the race car and go in circles' games. God knows they haven't made enough of any of those - anything but WWII!

Setting? |

Who cares about the setting? Yeah, there have been a lot of WWII games. There have been a lot of space marine games. There have been a lot of 'modern world' games. There have been a lot of medieval fantasy games. So f'n what? World of Warcraft isn't Baldur's Gate isn't Dark Messiah, even though they share a similar setting. Give me fun gameplay - I've played Thief (medieval) and Splinter Cell (modern). I have no qualms about a good stealth game in either a WWII or future setting.
Seriously, I play games to have fun, not because they do or do not have Nazis in them.

After the first couple of games come out that require a subscription to play a regular ol' shooter online when the five shooters sitting next to it have the same thing for free, the market will decide whether free alternatives will always exist.

"Millions of people buy these games, yet no one in the gaming community really likes it."
These games aren't really intended for the gaming community, and if millions of people are buying them and enjoying them, who are we to complain? I hate sports games, but that doesn't mean that I think they shouldn't be made - just that I choose not to play them.

Hey, EA - yeah, you. I know you read this.
You're right. You won't make any more money on NFSMW, you know that. Not throwing money after something that won't bring you any more income - OK, I see your reasoning.
Consider this:
I now know that if there is a problem with one of your future products, it may very well not get fixed. I'll figure that into my purchase decisions in the future.

One point of 'Hell yes!' The original was fantastic, Rome was fantastic, and I'll be all over this one.
Temper that with:
Two points of 'Awww...' I was really hoping to be able to fight my way through a different setting this time. Napoleonic: Total War, New World: Total War, Fantasy: Total War, China: Total War, even an updated Shogun would have been my first choice.
I'll still be all over it when it comes out, though.

Fine by me - I'm just glad to have some solid info. I was trying to make sure I didn't have three games 'in progress' when it was released, and was holding my gaming budget in limbo in case they actually released on the original 'hinted at' date in about two weeks.
Now I can start a couple of games off my backlog, and go ahead and spend my budget on something else.

An amazing number of people have been finding the whole BF2 gameplay experience to be frustrating and agravating, specifically because of the things you say you're fixing. Me, along with a huge number of other people have pretty much quit playing so as not to be completely burned out on the broken version by the time the patch is released.
We're also the ones who pay hundreds of dollars for the ranked servers. We're the ones who populate other peoples' servers.
A month ago you told us we'd have to wait a month before our game would be fun fully functional. We sighed, and liked the game so much that we were willing to put up with the frustration or not playing for that month. Now the month has come and gone, and not only are you telling us that you haven't done what you said, you aren't even willing to tell us when you will!
Do you honestly think your disillusioned fan base is going to sit on their thumbs for - may be two weeks, maybe two months - waiting to play your game? There are other games out there. We'll move on if you don't give us some incentive to stay, and a vague 'someday' isn't going to be enough to keep the frustrated players hopes up when another potential game comes along to tempt us.

JoWood has developed a nasty reputation - broken games, incredibly poor support of said games (I still gag over the Europa 1400 fiasco), and poor treatment of their associated developers.
Something not meeting JoWood's quality standards must be really, really bad.
