And that's why I'm gonna buy PES and not FIFA
Bioshock and Mass Effect were enough for me. Well, more money given to small companies. X3: Terran Conflict it's on my shopping list. Maybe Europa Universalis3: Complete Edition will replace Red Alert3. Football Manager will replace FIFA Manager 09 and so on. As you can see, there are a lot of games out there, ready to replace whatever EA is offering. They need a harsh lesson coming from our wallets and not only from our mouths. Though I understand the need for profit, I also understand the fact that whatever they've tried didin't worked and only the honest customers are suffering. And when you have to spend a lot of time on a paid support phone, it's like paying for the game 3 times. And that won't solve the problem, in most of the cases. Online petitions, letters are not working on the big corporations. The only language they understand it's the profit. Show them the fact that without their customers ,the profit can't exist and they will start listen. Worked on Ubi when they've used Starforce(granted they didn't learn the lesson, as they've adopted on Far Cry2 the same protection as the one used by EA), so lawsuits plus product embargo it's the key.
And coming from Sony there is a new idiocy:
