This is amazing. How did a company this incompetent become one of the biggest in the game industry? At least Activision is just staying to the tried and true "beating a successful franchise like a dead horse" strategy that they always have. It seems with each new release EA does, they dig their own hole deeper.
My post wasn't good enough?
Activision are a special breed of Evil, the difference with EA is that they are much more competent, they manage to lower the bar and sneak in these new farming tactics without offending any but the most observant of their users.
EA just stumbles over their own feet when trying to do the same then agressively doubles down when they get caught while displaying their contempt for the user like the feathered tail on a peacock.
To Activision you're a peasant, they need you to continue their riches and enjoy their decadent lifestyle but they really don't care about you.
EA fucking hates you.
This stuff made me think: when was the last time Activision did something this blatantly anti-consumer (DLC doesn't count)?
I always figured Activision were just greedy rather than evil.
I'd love to hear the PR spin of this one though. I'm not sure how many strikes they can get within such a short period of time.
I just hope DICE keeps some of their power against EA instead of following the same fate as some of the other recent games.

I envy your optimism.
I don't think this will compile.
Now THIS is some shit we'll all be remembering for years to come...

yeah totally I doubt any gaming company will do anything more obnoxious or egregious lol
Like someone mentioned in a another thread. We need a timeline of this tremendous failure.
It's kind of amazing to watch how much they really don't give a fuck.
You reap what you sow.
EA clearly doesn't care and anyone buying into the always online
DRM is only making the situation worse.
As long as people support these always online games, you'll be dealing
with these problems. Is that fun?
You know what's funny? Midway through this gen EA won back a LOT of gamer favor and negative opinion of them really turned around.

Take a look at what happened to their financial results and stock during that period. They pissed it all away for good reason.You know what's funny? Midway through this gen EA won back a LOT of gamer favor and negative opinion of them really turned around.
Then they pissed it all away.

I fear the worst for BF4. As a Battlefield fan, hearing more and more of EA's shit like this makes me worry.

Watch BF4 not have singleplayer at all and just be multiplayer with that online store you mentioned.It'll be full of micro transactions(most likely an online store as well).
Now as the BF series is mainly known for multiplayer, the online connection
doesn't bother me. It's when single player games require it. Dead set against it.
