Hmm...Lock On Modern Air Combat, IL-2, Pacific Fighters, Raven Shield, Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon. I wouldn't call those crappy games in my book.

Hmm... Lockon was a total dissapointment, pushed out the door before it was ready and wont let the devs finish it.

IL2 etc. while they have their good points and I like them all, they still have that doobiesoft rushed feel to them until at least the 3rd patch or so. I don't know how Oleg pulls it off.

Raven Shield, like IL2 it has it's good and bad, but it could have been so much more.

Sphincter Cell & Ghost Recon, well hose are just crappy games.

Ok, I know boycotts almost never work...but what the heck. Let's all boycott every single EA game in any form...PC, Console, those crappy plug-directly-into-your-tvset-games.

First they hold out on joining Xbox live. Then when they finally get on board, they bring a crappy implementation. (Burnout 3s net implementation is horrendous). Then they get exclusivity of the NFL for the next 5 or so years, which essentially means they don't have to produce anything resembling a quality game, because no sports fan will probably buy any game (no matter how high quality) without real teams and players. Now they are heavily investing one of my favorite publishers...UBISOFT (please please say EA doesn't get its grubby hands on Splinter Cell 3!)

Anyways...I've had it with EA. No more EA games for me. Who's with me? YAARRRGHHHH!!!!

EA really is on a roll for Monopoly of the year.

Sobs..

I give it five years until EA either owns a majority stake or has outright acquired just about every other major publisher and becomes pretty much the only game in town. Seeing as how EA's crappy sports sequels and Sims games currently have them in the position of being one of the only publishers in the industry to be turning a profit right now.

Wait, they make the crappiest games, yet are the only ones turning a profit. Okay then.

When that happens it looks like I will have to give up video games. Hopefully some new entertainment technology came around by then that isn't watered down and destroyed.

surely they're going have to go through a monopoly commision at some point soon???

Uh, huh.. Splinter Cell 2, Ghost Recon 2. Yes, their newer games all suck.

Time for EA to DIE already. DIE.

Don't you mean DICE?

g_Games.gameplay = 500;
g_Gamers.frustration = 100;

while(EA != NULL) {
wait(2628000000); // ~1 month in ms
--g_Games.gameplay;
++g_Gamers.frustration;

// If gameplay drops below gamer frustration level (-50 to 100 points depending on what year it is, because not *all* games suck, usually), EA gets a kick in the nuts.

if((g_Games.gameplay + CRand::randomint(-50, 100)) < g_Games.frustration)

EA = EA.comeuppance(g_Gamers.frustration * g_Gamers.frustration);
}
