Additionally, the app is still avalable for the low low price of $5 without any mention of this upcoming Armageddon.
I'm in the "refusing-to-believe-that-this-could-be-possible"-camp. The thing is, I'm getting to the point where every imaginable insult to the customer appears to be plausible. Sad days.
That needs to change.
I've seen other music game apps where you buy credits and use those credits to play a song a certain number of times, as opposed to keeping them forever. I wonder if maybe EA plans to move to that model.
We need to establish a digital ownership Bill of Rights like yesterday. Property itself is becoming a service, and that changes everything. My only worry is that the current climate seems a horrible one in which to make these decisions.Unless we're getting definitive legislation on ownership and customer rights for Digital Distribution, we're shit out of luck, and anyone remains the publishers bitch with DD.
I dont think they can do that. Is it confirmed real?
So wait, instead of shutting down servers for a game no one plays anymore, they can even shutdown an offline game? WTF?
No, which is why I'm confused exactly how it can work. The wording is certainly fairly concrete, but how do you stop apps with the app already installed from using it when it currently works when offline?

Looks like Guitar Hero wins this round
Having Weezer's "The Good Life" certainly helped!
They better not fuck with the main versions.
They better not.
I'd like to know how long that message has lived in the code, waiting to activate with that prompt.
For a company that won't patch the games that need them, they'll go the distance to update them with messages to let users know the end is nigh?
You don't buy EA games, you borrow them.
You don't buy EA games, you rent them.
This is what I usually do with companies that pull bullshit yet put out games I want JUUUUST enough. Though honestly EA games rarely interested me, only during that brief moment they were shaping up, and it looks like they'll return to that apathy void. Too bad more people don't feel that way, otherwise they'd probably be struggling to do business.i won't pretend to be on some moral high ground regarding boycotting ea games, but when i do pinch my nose and buy one you better believe it's at a massive discount
I'm surprised that anyone would be surprised by this. Haven't there been enough warning signs? Hopefully it's not legit but it certainly would not surprise me if it were real.
Riccitiello to Wuvcraft, Riccitiello to Wuvcraft. Come in, Wuvcraft. Your services are needed.
WHAT DOES MY MASTER BADE ME?!

Now that I think about it, the few EA games I've purchased on Android have been barely supported and won't even install game data on my unofficial devices. I'm done supporting them in the mobile space thats for sure.
The one iOS game I have from them, monopoly, crashes all the time, runs poorly, and only gets updated to add more ads to it. Pure garbage.
On disc dlc just like downloadNext gen you won't own a thing you bought.
At least you can play it, I can't even download the game data for EA games on my HP Touchpad, it appears their servers do some bullshit device checking and refuse to send data to anything not on their list. Monopoly makes my SGS2 lock up as well, their incompetence in the mobile space is unbelievable.
He's faster than a speedy maniac!
