It wasn't known when I purchased the Freelancer ship back in Oct '12
I thought I was buying a more sophisticated version of Privateer 2 with a single player and multiplayer game that would be ready in about 3 yrs
Next day: Bungie cancels "Curse of Osiris" altogether - turns out some players wanted a reasonable amount of content!!
They said much the same for RTS games like the Command & Conquer series.
Still a long way from GT6 online features though - even something like no 16 player lobby voice chat.
Don't forget the one that pushed things the most - 3DFX
It deleted all the campaign high scores which is a real shame

You can check quite a few multiplayer games on there (Battlefield, CoD, UT etc)
Yeah dropping to £20 did the trick, loads of my friends just bought it.
You should see the PC online stats for Battlefront 2 - like you can count the no. of online players with one hand lol
It just confirms that all major publishers are deliberately altering gameplay to encourage gambling habits for an entertainment that's aimed at kids as well as adults.
Looking at the server lists lots of gamers are choosing this option, original CoD4 is packed out, so is CoD WaW, BF games, Quake etc.
Just recieved an offer from Three, 100gb data with unlimited calls etc for £18pm and it got me thinking I could scrap the BT con line and save £30pm, call it a day with Sony online subscription and just use PS4 for offline games then go back and play older PC games online again - ie. CoD4, CoD WaW, BF2, BF1942 etc etc which seem to have loads of players and servers again (all free) - I'd save a fortune!
VW Bus and Dacia Micro Truck fully tuned to max up was so much :)
Are all these so called analysts in a "paid by EA" campus??
I would wait and see what Black Friday and Cyber Monday brings 1st.
I hate CoD points; in IW you often find unreachable items locked behind these points :(
Damn.. for 1 minute I thought they'd brought 48 player game servers back (ok not quite 64 but it would have been a blast again)
So EA should put its prices up yet again but the analyst forgot to say all gamers get a wage rise... seems a bit unfair to miss that bit out😳
Didnt buy it either
Well there goes another game that was at the top of my list. If it carrys on like this Ill end up not needing a console.
