You forgot to mention, for the Super Elite for only $100 you also get alternate costumes and colors.
And for the Super Turbo Elite subscription for only $150, you get an extra turbo option in all the games.
And for Super Turbo Elite Premium subscription for only $200, you get all the games, all the colors, turbo mode and the ability to play multiplayer since that wasn't advertised in the previous versions.
And finally, in the Super Turbo ...

Dude, how come every time you post it's always defending EA? Did you check the Reddit post? It's by Jamie Dillion, she even posts her e-mail and shows that she's a verified member? I'm pretty sure if the source was an e-mail you'd say "well there's no way to tell if that e-mail is legit"
Just sounds like you're trying hard to run damage control for EA, dude.
Hands down, if you don't want c...
Not everyone knew this.
Did you check Amazon? A lot of those people were clueless.
Ugh, is there nothing sacred these days?
Company uses charity without charity's knowledge to peddle DLC = Good
Gamers uses charity to raise awareness to dev/pub = Bad
Keep that logic-train running pal, it's doing wonders to make you seem anti-gaming.
Dang, dude google up "EA Madden monopoly", they prevented ALL other publishers from gaining use of the NFL license and paid a lump-sum to retain the rights exclusively.
Google up "EA Porche license" and find out why EA wouldn't let Turn 10 use the Porsche in Forza 4 because they were trying to market NFS: Shift 2 and use the exclusive Porsche license as a way to one-up Turn 10.
Google up "Origin scans your PC" and find out ...
Dude, I lol'd...bubbles to you.
I agree, they're not the worst in America but given our sad, sad journalism ring the only way consumers can voice their displeasure is with polls like this.
Besides, if BOA had won does anyone really think ANYONE would have done anythigna bout it? They don't give a rats behind about their public image. EA isn't big enough to forfeit this kind of bad press, though.
You know, you can always tell when an EA marketer is trolling the tread because they say the dumbest, most anti-gamer, anti-consumerist remarks imaginable. No human being with a soul and a wallet that bleeds money would ever type what the marketing trolls type.
I'm sorry you EA Shills are worse than Fanboy Trolls...
Aren't you that same Shill that's been defending EA on ALL the N4G treads? I'm thinking we need to rope you Shills up and toss you back under the desk from whence you came.
Sounds interesting. I don't mind linear games when done right (Limbo) but I hate blockbuster, mind-numbingly trite linear games that many AAA studios churn out.
Child's Play organizer Jamie Dillion explicitly said THAT WAS NOT THE CASE.
The people confused/asking for refunds were a small minority. They admitted that wasn't the reason it was shutdown and it's even stated as such in the article.
Let me spell this out for you real...real...real slowly.
EA profited from DLC made under the guise of charity.
A public group raised $80,000 for the intent of raising awareness. THERE WAS NO PROFIT.
Are you really that dense?
If you can't see how plainly hypocritical that is then EA has paid you off well to be so blindly biased.
LOL, dude do you have any idea how ridiculous it sounds that you just defended why it was okay for EA to profit from DLC to promote a charity and why it wasn't okay for a group to donate to charity to raise awareness?
So let me get this straight:
Company profits from DLC donating to charity = good
Gamers working together to donat to charity to raise awareness = bad
Mmmkay, thanks...at least we know that EA viral marketing thing wasn&...
Downloading it now...not really my kind of game but the art-style and free editor caught my interest.
It would be interesting to see the Wii U make use of the Senseg Haptic screen technology. That's some awesome stuff right there.
Online Passes
Day One DLC
Shutting servers down a year (or sometimes two) after a game is released
Restricting offline content via Online passes
Origin (just google it up before you defend it)
Shutting down more studios than I care to count and putting a lot of people out work.
Poor working conditions resulting in class action lawsuits
Gutting out franchises and lowering the quality of the gaming industry product across the board.
Well said.
It's amazing there are so many corporate shills in here defending EA like they just rescued a baby from a serial rapist.
Everything you named about the company should be spotlighted to the gaming community and the fact most people defending EA don't even know WHY the company was on the list just goes to show you that the community is highly misinformed about a lot of things.
I agree with some other sites, especially Forbes...
There are some good points made in this article...just feels like something that will get buried under more of the crap heap from larger sites.
I'm really tired of the "Gamers are evil for buying used games" (not all of us get a bunch of games for free from publishers) or all this "Gamers need to quit whining; don't like it, don't buy it" when the situation is just the inverse, and people are whining because they WANT to buy it but don't wa...
This game is a lot more fun than I thought it would be.
In fact, I would love to see a full blown adventure style game made using the kind of setup from Dungeon Defenders. We just don't get generally fun games like this anymore.
Thankfully, there's still Kickstater.
