Stop buying their games, and email them telling them why. If enough people do it, they'll stop. As long as people continue to act against their own best interests, EA will keep exploiting everybody.
Hot Pursuit (2011) already did that, and then combined it with my favorite parts about Burnout 3. Unless they're just doing that again, then I seriously doubt it.
Course EA is counting on nobody over the age of about 25 having ever played or enjoyed the original NFS games and just assumed all of the current racing game fanst are younger than that and started with Underground, so when they say "the fans" they're not actually talking about me, despite the ...
No, it's not, because it's not worth it. Slightly less expensive than an equally garbage overpriced "service" you should be getting free isn't the bar for good.
And yeah, it would. If everyone refused to pay for it and profits tanked because multiplayer games sold like garbage, they'd stop doing it. That attitude is why the EAs and the Ubisofts and Bethesdas of the world get away with their crap.
It sounds like yet more privacy destroying crap.
Notice how they don't define "system information?" Yeah, that's a problem. That means, unless there is something buried in the EULA somewhere that explains what it's doing, they can (and probably will) take any and all information it can possibly gather without your knowledge or consent, wether the information is actually necessary to look for cheating or not.
At least something like G...
No, it's not. You *already* pay for your internet, and *developers* have to pay for servers. You're paying just because Sony/MS/Nintendo want to price gouge.
You get more/better services for free on PC. For the price of just the various online services you could (50 and 20 USD respectively) an average of 4 games every week for 50 or 20 weeks from Humble Bundle, not even counting the games that GOG and Steam semi-regularly give away for free, and you don't loose...
Come to PC.
Pay nothing for online
Get better service.
At this point, you're just ignoring everything I say. No point arguing with you.
I didn't say it was her defining attribute. I specifically said it isn't. That doesn't really change anything I've said.
That's also not, strictly speaking, true, and Mass Effect even points it out. (And it's a literal metaphor for how Bi women are often treated outside someones personal fantasy.) The Asari willingness and ability to re-produce with any species and sex has gotten them a number of negative stereotypes that influence their roles in so...
Wow. I've never met you're particular brand of crazy racist sexism before. Go ***l yourself with a pineapple, I'm done here.
English. She is *literally* an lgbt character. She's bi. (or pan or whatever.) It doesn't matter if you would or would not describe her that way, that's literally what she is. It's not the first thing on the list in her list of attributes if you want to rank them by importance, but that doesn't change that it is what she is. That's not an agenda, that's literal fact.
No, it's not. Not if the character is well done. That doesn't change that they are an lgbt character. (and yeah, again, english. Adjective before noun. so "lgbt" before "character." If you've paid any attention at all you know Sera, whatever her sequality, has a lot of other qualities that take center stage, for example, and she has very different beliefs and attributed than say Dorian or Liara.
Yes and no, but it has nothing to do with pandering and everything to do with staff and possibly corperate meddling.
Drew, their best writer, hasn't written anything for Bioware except some SWTOR expansions since ME2, which he wasn't the lead on.
David's stuff is hit and miss and imo always has been, but his character writing is good and Andromeda didn't even get that. (Dorian, for example is really well done, and he was the lead on Origi...
I've been playing their games for decades. I'm fine with/like lgbt characters provided it actually makes sense (so no Kaiden suddenly being bi in ME3 doesn't make the cut.) So, in this case, trying to please fans they've had for decades and including lgbt characters are the same thing.
Also, they have lgbt romance options all the way back in Jade Empire in 2005. so anyone who thinks they're shunning their audience to include lgbt people now is kinda wro...

I wasn't responding to you, if I was I'd have mentioned you or been replying to your post. I was responding to frinker.
"You white people who are against equal racial representation?" Wowzers, and you're accusing *other* people of being racist and hateful. That's like, the mother of all irony alerts. Also I'm a black (well, half black,) so the phrase "you white people" doesn't really apply to me.
By the same logic, they should also ignore the right wing snowflakes who are equally fractured and impossible to please. You know, like the ones claiming that Farcry 5 is offensive to christians?
Making an effort to include people isn't "appeasing" anyone. It's making an effort to include people. Ideally you don't do it as the expense of the story or the gameplay, just like ideally you don't do story at the expense of gameplay (or vice versa.)
If Inquisition is your first then you have no frame of reference for how far the series has fallen. Dragon Age has 1 good game, Origins, and it nosedives off a cliff after that.
It's literally the consumers job to be critical. If people in general have high standards and don't buy mediocre games, then developers have no choice but to constantly improve games or go out of buisness. If people stopped buying the generic Ubisoft open world game then they'd actually...
"I'd imagine" isn't an argument, and raw consensus (even if you did have it, which there is no evidence of) doesn't make anything inherently fun or not fun. That's not what the word inherently means.
In reality it depends entirely on the game and the person. For one, if it was an action game with that kind of setup I wouldn't play it for very long at all because without context it's gonna stop being entertaining relatively quickly. For 2 yo...
the right wing snowflakes are just as bad. You know, the ones who want people fired for saying bad things about trump and the ones who pretend christains in the US are some oppressed minority and not 70% of the population.
That's really not true. The developer is still betting the entire cost of making the game on the games success and it could easily put them into the red. Sure there's little/ no risk for a hobbyist or a professional who's supported by a spouse or is part time and has other means of supporting themselves and/or their family, but the time (and thus money) to develop even a small indie game don't just pop up out of nowhere.
No, it comes from someone who values her privacy. It doesn't matter what it will or won't be used for, they don't have a right or a need to know.
It also comes from someone who knows the history of government descrimination. To use the most extreme possible example, how much worse do you think it would have been for people in germany during WW2 is the government had records (or could compel some german company to give up records) of everyone who'd ever said...
