How many times do people need to be told EA didn't make the game they published it? You Simply cant blame them for crappy patches.

You want to have a go at someone for making money from dodgy coding have a look at DICE they made the game after all.

Yes we know Ea publish the games DICE develope the game, BUT don't forget the milestones are set out by EA, for all we know EA could be paying dice on target of milestones, and EA get a BIG say in what is wrong and right - they have their own testers, coders etc, that go through the game, when it is in developemnt.
FOrgot to mention, EA loan the money to developers and then things like royality and other shit kicks in, remember the developer has a tough time convincing the publisher to take on the game:- example I want some money for a game, I go to EA, they want to hear my idea and or want to look at the game design document any way the way they see it, we give you say £4,000.000 and what will we get at the end of say the 2 yr loaning period (remember EA can just put this amount in the bank and interest will give them a healthy profit over the 2 years....

Which means Dice is a sub contractor to EA and it is therefore EA's responsibility as the Prime Contractor to get the software sorted out.

Now, that means I can blame EA for the crappy patches..........

i blame EA for bf2 since they kept on pushing dice to release it faster when the game is still buggy

We should split up into two teams and send one to Microsoft, and the other to EA for the purpose of holding their hold at nerfpoint and forcing them to fix their very expensive software with which they've been screwing us all.

They didn't just do that with BF2.. they did it with Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault too.. they almost destroyed the franchise. Those bastards at EA can't seem to learn their lesson.

Do you realize how much they SPEND to not only advertise but mass produce and market each game they publish? Obviously not if you think that amount of profit is large.

BF2S Forums EA made $413,000,000.00 in the past 4 months
