The game took $250,000,000 to make, made $800,000,000 in one day. So yes, bank is certainly what they they're acquiring.

Rockstar seems like a cool fair awesome company so I am all for them making bank. If only they would buy out EA GAMES and shut those *******s down though.

No ****ing way man. Madden, NHL, and Fifa are amazing. Call of Duty isn't going anywhere either. Whats your beef, fair employment opportunities?

Im not saying the games they own are bad. I am saying the EA Games as a company is a piece of trash that does not give the slightest bit of effort towards giving customers what they want unless it makes them a buck. They are the ones who started making all the games they would buy out (like westwood studios Command and Conquers) DRM protected where you had to be online and logged into EA Origins to even play single player. Which brings me to my next problem, EA Origins is the biggest scam piece of **** I have ever seen for online gaming.

EA buys out smaller studios ruins the games and then tanks the future games for a quick profit. If you seriously respect the way EA does business I question your mental stability. They are constantly voted the worst developer by all different polls.

I never have delved into the politics of gaming companies and didn't really understand the dynamic. I just love the sports games. I obviously would side with your assessment of them as people, but i'd still end up buying all 4 of the aforementioned games.

My hair is so pretty.

Yeah, Rez is right. I guess you've never bought a used EA game and had to purchase a fucking online pass to play the game online with their DRM bullshit.

They also destroyed SimCity when it came out with that bullshit making a single player game have to always be online. I want to get Sims 4 but they made it so I can't even play my Sims 3 games without being online so fuck 'em

my experience with ea is with sports games since its all i play.

ncaa football is a trash game every year. i bought it this year after a few years of not buyin it and i was reminded what a crap game it is. gameplay is terrible

madden. i love madden, i play constantly. sure theres some flaws albeit small, but the madden community greatly exagerates the flaws and romanticizes nfl2k to no end, which stopped makin a game like 10 years ago. that game sucked but time has a funny way of immortalizing things i guess.

im not stupid enough to think another company makin sports games wouldnt be great for competition and rise the product level or at least put a fire under ea's ass but overall i like madden a lot and buy it yearly

I'm so excited for Sims 4! you know you're just gonna pirate it like the rest of us when it comes out

EA Origin makes me not want to play Sims 3, so I often play offline. Hopefully Sims 4 will offer that same luxury otherwise I'll just rip it from a friend.
