I really feel that Bethesda and lies are synonymous. And it's not only the publisher. The number of straight up exaggerations they used in the pre release marketing for Oblivion and Skyrim should have amounted to some sort of action being taken against them for false advertisement.
Nintendo, because they steal our games.
Really now? I understand that business's have their own agenda which is usually to make as much money as possible but this is by far the most silly comment I have seen on the EA access.
So by your logic, anything digital is a Trojan horse aimed at removing the individual from material ownership.
I do agree that EA are the worst violators but I would drop the 30 dollars in a heartbeat, but living in doubt about everything is no way to experience life.

EA
For so many reasons (Day 1 DLC, Season Passes, mandated microtransactions, accusing gamers of "not accepting innovation", etc) but mostly because of Bioware. I will never forgive them for what they have done to Bioware. Ever since they bought Bioware out they've churned out nothing but disappointments. It started with Dragon Age 2 with it's incredibly linear narrative and recycled assets. It continued with The Old Republic that you could just tell they cut funding half way through the character storyline a and then their monetization practices after going free to play are some of the worst I've ever seen. Then they pull that star child bullshit with ME3 and shove a multiplayer component in just to bleed people with bullshit microtransactions.
EA ruined one of my favorite studios of all times and no matter how good Dragon Age 3 might seem I just can't bring myself to believe it actually will be. The fact that I say that about a Bioware game breaks my heart.
Bioware's downward spiral was way before EA's buyout. At least as early as Jade Empire.
Quoting my self from the other thread:
Not many know this, but Rockin Android lied about giving steam keys to previous purchasers twice:

I made that reddit post before I joined gaf, I'm a bit sad it didn't gain enough attention on gaf.
The worst part is I used to be a huge fan.
Capcom locking on disc DLC's
Fallout NEw Vegas needed another year?
C'mon man....

Nintendo for re skinning the same games and charging $60. EA for releasing games that are still in alpha, making mods and charging full price.
To me, as a consumer, EA and Capcom for "true ending" DLC that they charge for.
They released the ME3 extension free? And what was Capcom's? DR: Off the Record?
Which games would those be exactly? Also, what exactly do you call TLOU Remastered and Halo Master Chief Collection? If anyone is guilty of that at the moment, it's Sony. They are literally doing that exact thing. TLOU, the rumor of Beyond remastered, Unfinished Swan, Journey, and talk of the Uncharted games being remastered...all of these are just "reskinning the same games", as you so poignantly called it.
Nintendo, because they steal our games.
That was a fun day.
Fallout NEw Vegas needed another year?
C'mon man....
EA - killing several studios, "catering to a broader audience" for tons of their games, starting Online Passes, forcing Origins on PC, shipping games out that are still in Alpha and probably others I can't think of.
Look I agree with you but you should really list some examples.
As head of development house InXile, he was making a game under contract for the publisher. "They wanted us to hit a certain date," he says. "But they had made a bunch of changes. It wasn't possible. They sent a guy down to our office while I was out of town promoting the game. The guy comes into the office and tells my people, 'Hey we need to move the date. If you don't figure it out, we'll shut this company down.' He came in and threatened to fire all my employees while I was away."
Fargo made his outrage known to the publisher. "I called them and said, get that guy out of my office. I'm not having another meeting until you kick that person out of my office."
But the damage was done. Fargo was left dealing with a nervous game development team. "Guess what? My guys start looking for jobs," he says. "If I were them, I would do the same. What happens when they leave me in the middle of a project toward the end? The product slips more. Who's going to get blamed? Me. It was outrageous behavior. I was like ... How did we get here?"
Fargo is a known critic of game publishing mores. During his Kickstarter video pitch for InXile's new game Wasteland 2, he portrayed them as children. He mocked middle-level execs who sign off on new projects and who manage developers. He said many of them do not understand video games.
The worst, he recalls, was being forced to release a game he did not consider to be up to scratch. "What do I do when I'm told to just wrap it up and we're not going to have any time for iteration?" he asks. "Of course my scores are going to suffer. But I don't have control over that. Developers take the rap for having bugs in their products. It's not their QA department. The publisher runs QA. Yet the developer is taking a hit for shipping buggy products. Forever."

Well what haven't they done? Hell, it'd be easier to list what they've gotten right =/
I don't think this is scummy by definition, but I realy hate Javik being a DLC on Mass Effect 3.
Everything by Obsidian (except South Park) needed another year.Fallout NEw Vegas needed another year?
C'mon man....
I really don't understand why on disc DLC is such a problem, it they put the content in the download would that really change anything?
It was a load of crap when SFxT came out and pirates could use the locked characters before legit buyers could even purchase it.
According to Wikipedia, Sony was the first to introduce them for SOCOM: Fire Team Bravo,. It was a $20 code that was used to "combat piracy". EA introduced online passes as we knew them last gen (it started with Project Ten Dollar). Sony and THQ both adopted them.Wasn't that THQ?

I love this stuff.
uh yea
It was developed in like 13 months or something. Most modern games have a two year dev cycle.
