because that helps when you back to using a controller
seriously, who came up with this nonsense?
EA will do anything they want and I blame sports gamers for taking us down this path.
lol in the future you won't own shit, you'll just pay to license play time as long as you have the money and as long as EA feels the game is profitable enough to keep online.
What's worst is that they took Bioware down with them. They turned the once so pure developer into a dark creature that devours money
Do they not release we have lives, work, families, OTHER HOBBIES we don't need to be playing games all the time.
Like how? Unless you are talking about Vita specific capabilities or some Wii/U to 3DS crossplat stuff then this would not be happening. Any sort of on the go features would probably detract from the focus going directly into the single player anyways.
For a fee. Per Device. Possibly per month.
You will be paying a separate price for each device you are using this on.
By very, very likely charging you more for it. Makes business sense, but in reality it's just another reason for a big pub to charge premium dollars for something, not offering the gamer real value.
Sure, I can play my MLB The Show season on the go. $60 for the game, $50 for the Vita version, $250 for a Vita. Thats a $110 outlay for the chance to take my game with me. They arent letting me spend $60 and then just allowing me to load it onto whatever I want and play.
They took down Tetris on the iOS and replaced it with a subscription model. EA will do anything they want and I blame sports gamers for taking us down this path.
So it provides you experience points you can spend to improve your character...
Seriously, it's like some of you are just trying to downplay this because it's EA, not because you think it's a bad idea.
"Imagine a player gets up in the morning, plays an online match on his 360 before going to work," - $60.
"On the bus, on his way to work, he practices his free kicks on his tablet. - $7
At lunch he looks at the transfer window on his PC. - $14 Subscription
On the way home he chooses his kit on his smartphone. - $6
... Priceless.Something something server shutdown.
Unfortunately it seems like all of these games that try to shoehorn in a multi-player end up costing the team development dollars that would have gone into making a better single player: See ME3 and Dead Space 2 and many more. I'm not going to waste my time with a throwaway mutli-player, and if the single player is sub par then the game isn't a "keeper" Games like Portal 2 and Skyrim are keepers. Mass Effect 3, Crysis 2, and Dead Space 2 are not.

Perhaps there is hope for a sequel to Mirror's E- *gets shot*

Seriously EA, stop it.
This is already happening. Look at any game that has an app associated with it.
This is just taking the next step of allowing inputs rather than limiting you to viewing static output from the game.

I'm sorry, I got news for you: BioWare always wanted to be Rock Stars. If anyone is to blame for "ruining whatever", it's them.
So if I'm understanding something right, this doesn't really change anything, it's just an introduction of cross-platform tech.
Why are people getting scared of this again?
If it's not bad already it's probably just a matter of time. EA has been extremely clear regarding where they want things to go. It is very difficult to view anything they're doing as anything else but another brick in their stairway to hell. EA has absolutely earned the scorn, skepticism and scrutinization.How is this bad? I hate online passes and EA's habit of shutting down game servers but this bit of news doesn't sound that bad to me. It actually sounds pretty cool.
It's a shame they continually supply reasons to hate them.Huh, I thought this was a good idea.
It's a shame everyone hates EA so much..

That is even worse than I'd imagined. Wow.If it's not bad already it's probably just a matter of time. EA has been extremely clear regarding where they want things to go.

Yep, no thanks EA. I'm not going to invest money or time into your disposable short-lived universes.Something something server shutdown.
