Apologies for the delay in my reply. Good to see that I've "rocked the boat" a little

Or how about making an intelligent response instead of just being a worthless troll?

Perhaps if there was something intelligent in your post to begin with I might provide you with the same courtesy. As it is, your post is just another "Fuck <insert big-name publisher name here>", so it appears I'm feeding the trolls; sorry.

Ok then, let's address your assertions: BF:1942 has just 2 patches? I don't think so; go count them. How about NHL2004? At least 2 patches and 3 roster updates so far. GPG assimilated by EA? Only if they didn't do their contract homework. I suggest GPG would have big issues with making nothing more than a C&C clone, but it's up to them to protect their intellectual property.

Quite frankly, I find your assertions absurd with no basis in fact.

Tell me, how is EA any different than Ubi, MS, Vivendi, et al? No, I don't buy bad or incomplete games. I wait for reviews, demos, and word of mouth before I make a purchase, so I do in fact vote with my dollars. Looking at the EA games I've purchased over 20+ years (sorry to disappoint, no Sims), by far the majority are good if not great. I can't say I've had a lot of experience with their tech support, as I've never had the need to use it.

For someone who is apparently intimately familiar with the anal landscape, perhaps you should worry about leaving your own stinky cavern first. Or maybe your nose deep in EA's moist folds. You seem to be the expert. Let us know which.

I have an MD degree so I know a great deal about the GI tract actually. I also know people who work at EA Canada and have toured their studios. Stellar place if I do say so.

Stinky cavern eh? Sounds like the voice of experience to me
