Crackpot theory: EA is run entirely by the Russians to make gamers want the government to regulate games, which means the government can censor games.
It makes sense if you don't think about it too hard.

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.

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.

No one is complaining about that. The problem is that you would have to spend thousands of hours or thousands of dollars to gain access to all aspects of the game. It's money-grubbing pay to win.

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

Team Fortress Classic is one of the best multiplayer shooters ever and it didn't have that. Counter-Strike had a version of it, but that was more for balancing reasons and it reset after every match.

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...
