I actually had good luck with the game close to release, it had bugs but it didn't crash. It was also stable when I played Phantom Liberty, with patch 2.1. 18 months ago. I haven't played the game in a year, and I wanted to see the new features they added with 2.2 and 2.3 patches, but it seems...

After 5 effing years you'd think they eliminated CTD, but nope.

I'd change that to "sexy sells". There was no overt sex in games before the crackdown on the "male gaze" has begun in the 2010s. Ironically the only game that I know of that has crude sex in it is the last of us 2, which is considered "safe horny". So it's not that people want sex in games, we...

Ah, the classic: "We think players are stupid, otherwise they'd be playing our masterpiece" Because there is nothing like getting people to play your game like being condescending.

Then pull funding before it fails on its own :LOL: Fits right into MS's mo.

I wanna say I agree, but I can't even claim to be sad. The only good thing Romero did since Doom was giving Warren Spector the means to make Deus Ex. Basically still a one-trick pony 32 years later.

"We are not closing, we're just going out of business" - basically this

EA only shut down studios after they released a game, not before they even had a chance.

Buy every studio possible Close them down before any project is completed What was the strategy here, scorched Earth?

I wonder if they are willing to pull the plug on 10 with it still sitting on hundreds of millions of PCs just 90 days to deadline. I have to say I'm still hoping for a last minute decision to not go through with slowly turning half of the world's windows PCs into a botnet. I sure as hell...

Is that an official app? I've never heard about it, and searching the net just gave a bunch of suspect sites posing as official sites that I'm not comfortable downloading and running an app from.

Exactly, with respect to a few exceptions, indie and AA developers are just as greedy leeches as the big bad companies. Some of them literally re-releases the same game every 12-16 months with minor changes, and you don't even get a discount if you already had the version before that, which also...

And with nintendo you don't even own the HW, they will literally brick it remotely if you do something they don't approve of. You call that ownership? My exact point was that I want games that I wouldn't want to sell. I never sold a PC game in my entire life, even when that was still possible...

Except older titles don't need any of it. But even if they did, more aggressive upscaling and more fake frames? No, thanks, I'll pass.

No offense, but you seem to be the very model of the ideal consumer they want. The one, who doesn't ask questions, doesn't push back on anything, just buys the current thing and then gets excited for the next thing. Imagine saying that making you pay again for a game you already bought in the...
