No. This was bound to happen sooner or later with "big" gaming, just like what happened with the movie industry. This is a call for gamers to stand up and start developing their own games. With enough love and effort the independent industry could overtake the mainstream one and even surpass it. It has to be this way.
it's not unheard of. it's happened before, and will undoubtedly happen again. Blizzard, Activision, EA, Valve... they were once the good guys. Sierra was once the largest dev/publisher around, look how they ended up. if corporations are legal persons, they certainly have life-cycles. EA is an old, OLD man now. he's atrophying. his time is coming

I'm going to lean out of the window for more than a good bit and say that the Russians are run by EA. By the time EA gains full control of the United States, American gamers will know why Brother Bear has an alcohol problem.

EA is known for screwing players over. When they said all dlc were free, i knew somehow they were going to screw everyone.
Oh well, bf4 is still playable while anons keep buying server space so we can play...lol...

I was never planning on playing this game in the first place but I thought I would chime in and say that there is some good to this. The best days of gaming were when things were locked from the beginning and you had to play through the game to unlock everything. I hate how dumbed down things are today with everything available right from the start.

From what I understand its basically 6 months straight to get it all unlocked. That's no eating, no sleeping, no pooping, just playing.
