By EA's financial statement, EnB was making money, but apparently just not enough to suit them. It did have potential, but with poor advertising it didn't get subs as fast as EA wanted, so the began a monthly drop in funding for the game.
It's a little hard to improve a game when the publisher who's 'supporting' (and I use that term very, very loosely) the game won't pay to run it.
But like someone above said, typical EA, put it out, patch it just enough to say yeah, we're supporting it, then drop it like a rock. They're turning into a console company anyways, I suppose.

Microsoft was gungho with the online portion of Xbox, so without a harddrive, would you be willing to pony up the cash for a boat load of memory cards just to save downloads on, if the Live portion is expanded, and downloadable content increased?

How does it suck? |

Saying a game sucks explains nothing, how does it suck?
Graphics?
If good looks in a game are all you're looking for, you're easily satisfied.

One company I really like is Ritual entertainment, they know how to patch and support a game. After activision pushed SiN out, Ritual patched it up pretty quickly and fixed most issues. Not content, and with no funding from activision, they kept patching it for about another year or 2, both for minor bug fixes and to add CTF to the game. Heck, they even threw in a gamespy ingame browser. All on their own, no funding from activision.

I always find it funny when people tell you to download retail software over the internet. Makes me wonder if they feel it would be ok for their neighbor to come over and stand in front of their house on the street corner yelling at random people to just walk into their house and take anything and everything they want.

Install.
Crash, crash, finally run. Download every game I already have installed, verify that I have a right to play them, play game, exit game, redownload entire game again next time I want to play.
Uninstall.

If the purpose of steam is a simple, painless means to update everyones content to current patched standards, they why must I totally download once again the content I already have? I mean, it's there, if the game can't convert it, why should I have to suffer through downloading a huge file to get all the content again?
Is this gonna happen every time there's a patch, you have to download several hundred MB of the same files you already have?

Stores regularly get games in before the ship date on the website, or even the in stores now! date on the ads. They just are not supposed to put them on shelves before the In Stores date, although they do have a policy where if another store in the area jumps the gun, so to put it, they immediately stock their shelves with said game. I know from experience.

LMAO.
Everything you just said about MMORPG's can be said about FPS too.
Remember Q3? FPS, not what a lot of people were thinking it would be. Some liked it, some didn't.
And how about UT? Once again, some liked some didn't, result was UT2K3.
Well, they did have a single player component, very defined in that you killed everything against you to get to the next thing to kill, then killed that thing too.
Oh, combat FPS might not have been all you were talking about, so I'll add halflife.
I liked the game all right, but did not think it was that great.
All I got out of the game was a good story, true, but level after level of things jumping out and attacking you.
Once again, HL being considered a great game in SP, was still overshadowed by Multiplayer and all its MOD's.
Which just goes to show no matter how great a SP experience is, MP, whether in FPS or MMORPG, is what more people seem to want.

Well, if stupid idiots didn't try to jack the product from the store in the first place, maybe, just maybe, they wouldn't have to remove the CD's and manuals in the first place.

Well, 3DRealms said before that the game was totally self funded, challenged anyone to find any money form T2 that was used to fund the game.
Um, well, if they sell the rights for Max2 to T2, and use the money from T2 to further fund DNF, isn't that using money from T2 to fund the game? Even if not given directly for the game's development?
