I like EA. I don't think it is THIS bad.

you are so right ea is a evil company that needs to be destroyed i hate ea i hate it i hate it i hate it EA SUCKS

i think the game is fine even though ti do have laot of issues with it
personally i think EA should die

My god. Talk about lame. Your using an EA/Maxis game/board to complain about EA/Maxis. Dudes get a life. If you have a problem with EA quit playing their games and go do your dailies on WoW. Its not Advertisements or dim witted CEO's that are ruining video games its people like you who cant just play the game but instead have to cry about it.

Constructive critizism is a good thing for the gaming industry, crying that a CEO is trying to make more money by advertising in games is not... really, who cares? Just cuz there's an ad for Tampons doesnt mean you have to use them. But alas most of you will keep talking your crap about EA but ill see you all in Galactic Adventures, C&C, COD or whatever else they decide to release. Its funny, for all the complaining I see about EA should die, you all keep giving them your money.

Long Live EA.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Indeed

Amen brudda!

This is hands down the most wack thread ever. I don't even know to begin addressing the illogic when there's so much of it.

The last time I checked it was a free market enterprise system that was at work in most of the world today. If you don't like a company, or its products, you just don't buy them.

Example: I think Crest makes the worst teeth whitening products ever. They simply don't work. As a result I don't buy them because I'm not satisfied with the results. I don't mail Crest a bunch of letters, or email them, or place billboards up in an effort to stifle others. What a waste of time.

To even start a thread about EA, on an EA site about how they do business is stupid in my opinion. Just strip it out of your PC, burn the DVD, and use some of the cardboard package to pick up dog poo and get on with life. Did anyone read the Terms of Service Agreement that came with the product? It looks to me that when you click "I Agree" you no longer have much rights to anything that you make with their program. You also have no say as to what they think is appropriate or in appropriate in their forum. You're basiclly working for them and you "clicked" whatever rights you think you have away. Why cry about a choice you made?

Its like being a student in a public school. As soon as you get in the door, you have almost no rights. If you contest what the teacher says, then you're at their mercy as to whether you get a detention, suspension, or anything else for that matter. That's even if the teacher is factually dead wrong. Ever been in that situation before?

It's a good program. I have fun with it. Personally, I think some of their decisions are lame and they're abusive of power at times. I also know that's what the usual tendency of imperfect people is anyway. Ever see pictures of some of the people that work for EA? To be tactful I wouldn't say they're exactly "executive". Some could use a diet, a shave, a hair cut, a little make-up and a new wardrobe, but I don't even know if they can afford all that! I'm also only saying that because I care about the physical well-being of others. =]

What's the point is trying to tar an feather people like that? This is not a democracy -- it's their stuff. If they want to be liberal with it cool. If not, let them tick their customers off to the point of bankruptcy.

That's just my two cents.

I have a lot to to say about this but I'll just comment on the last advertising thing.

I have never seen ads in my Spore, are they supposed to exist?
The EADM is a bit annoying when it does all it can to be running, but I haven't ever logged in to it, so it's utterly useless when running when I'm not playing anything.

Edit: EA makes great GAMES but I don't get why they do such pointless wrong things to us.

I'm guessing that half of them were pirates, and the other half were people caught up in something that they didn’t understand. If I’d had a chance to have a conversation with them, they’d have gotten it... There are different ways to do DRM; the most successful is what WoW does. They just charge you by the month. ~ EA CEO

Maybe the most effective, but Steam is easily the best.

Why there cannot be an update that allows retail spores to be activated through Steam?

Ahh. i love the OP.

Hmm... Don't you think that's a little... Extremist? So it's not perfect, but that's just being irrational. EA really didn't do that much wrong... They're a company, for Spode's sake.

Holy crap.

EA IS A BUNCH OF FASCISTS!

nice job with the emails. You tore Cactus butt there a new SPOREhole
