Here’s what’s great about reality: people are great at breaking stupid stuff. So as Dead Space 3 launched yesterday in the Americas, people smarter than I had already figured out a glitch in the game to acquire all the items EA had hoped you’d pay for. Game Front have posted a video explaining how, which I’ve diligently included below.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
He's doing it too slow, all you need to do is open the door, run backwards, let the door close and lock, then open it again, no need to even step through the door. Do this as many times as you can before your temprature goes low, then when you feel the need to get your temps up, run inside and grabb all the items at once.
Faster that way.
Anyone doing this exploit wasn't going to pay for micro-transactions anyway so it's not really a big deal. The people who will pay are still going to pay. This whole system is in place for people that lack the time or patience to grind away and collect "currency" to get the better weapons. Those same people will lack the patience or time to do this exploit, that will be patched very soon, so not really a big deal.
I'm actually laughing my ass off, because the exploits go around the microtransactions.
Also, this can't really be patched, unless they put in Save Stations. The Xbox can easily remove this update, but i'm not sure about the PS3.
I can only imagine what next-gen will be like, from the likes of them (EA sports - it isn't in the game).
The real issue is that there are three DLC for your scavenger bots - all 400 MS points each. They are unlock codes for content that's already on the disc. Also - one of these DLC is nothing more than 'adding more capacity' to your scavenger bots - meaning that they just allowed 6 or 7 numbers to go higher than previously allowed. That would take what, 5 minutes of actual programming work to do. What a ripoff. Fuck you EA for trying to scam us with this bullshit.
