@prometheanascent I appreciate your candor - but I firmly believe that people can still make a ton of money and treat customers the right way. To not treat your customers well is - as I said - greed. Plain and simple.
By not fixing these games and giving the customers a quality product with quality support - they're showing they don't actually care about customers.
We need to vote with our wallets. I am. As much as I love the Titanfall and Battlefield franchises, and with Battlefield have (in a few months) invested 20 years in the franchise and eight years of Titanfall in March, I won't buy any more of these games the way EA currently treats it's fans and customers - meaning, US.
You can talk about greed all you want. There's a big difference between working to become successful and outright greed. Success is defined by having a lucrative company. You can get that by investing in a good product, awesome customer service, and building customer loyalty. I've seen it, I've worked in advertising and helped companies do that. It works.
Greed is dry-humping your customers out of every buck they have while giving them a product that is what the company is supposed to be putting out in name only. Greed is not good for the overall economy, as the United States is currently demonstrating since so much of the country's wealth is teetering with the top 1%.
And yes - the games were good until EA purchased these studios. I blame both the studios for selling out, and EA for purchasing them, mismanaging them and driving them to this conglomerated mess they are now.
I don't care if I never play another video game again - I won't purchase a product that has EA associated with it. Not unless they really fix these games, fix the Battlefield franchise, TRULY let the studios run their development cycle instead of paying lip service to it, and start providing fast, curteous, and useful customer support.
Otherwise, there's a ton of games on Steam, with other studios that aren't part of EA that I'll get into and start playing. (I mean, I may be in my 50s, but I'm not dead)
I'm tired of getting rear-ended without even a courtesy kiss.
