This is the reason it becomes a problem. SO many people will bitch about something, and yet continue to buy from the very thing they complain so much about, and so the company in question just keeps on doing it, because everyone is a fething moron. Heres an idea, stop buying from them, buy somewhere else, if you REALLY want a game from EA, wait till someone pawns it in and buy it used, that way you get it, but EA doesnt get your business initially.

EDITED AWAY

Too controversial...might make mods sad.

Ya, well often EA buys developers you liked and then bad things happen. Pretty hard to boycot EA and Activision, they make almost everything....or soon will.

Did anyone else catch this?

Traditionally, the Poo has been delivered on its little red pillow. But this year, we'll give EA three different color options for its pillow, though in the end it's still the same old Poo.

That seems too generous. EA should be given the poo itself and charged if it wants the pillow.

It's a joke on the 3 choices you get for the ending.

Never played ME of any kind. So I guess I missed the huge disappointment Anyone care to spoiler it for me? I am a bit curious why so many people were "ARRRGG!!!!!" over it

They pulled a Matrix: Reloaded where you meet what is essentially "the Architect" and he gives you three options that make no bloody sense and are color coded for you convenience.

It's internet over exaggeration. Play the series, it's great.

It's not an exaggeration to say the endings are terrible. People going flying rodent gak crazy over them is another story.

Just wish there was an alternative to the Madden series.

the 2K series was great did some thing better than EA sports did thing not nearly as good as EA sports.

Since EA has exclusive rights on NFL games, madden as not been as impressive. I know this is not EA's fault, but EA seems to be slacking with their NFL monopoly.

EA can't force the NFL to give them an exclusive licences, that was the NFL's choice to do so and extended it by one year which will go through 2013.

Other than graphics Madden games seem to be slacking since they have the exclusive rights to NFL games.

The 2K series was rather good, the only good alternative to Madden and had some good features and game play Madden did not have.

NFL QB Club is the only game to my knowledge that was a Madden competitor and that game was god awful.

Microsoft/Xbox had a series called NFL Fever but never played it.

EA didn't win this "award" for part of a story of one game. It's taken well over a decade of sucking to acheive this honour. Annualized releases for poor value: Roster Update 2013 as the joke goes. The buying, crapifying and closing of many of the developers they're consuming like Pandemic. Nickel and diming us for DLC like Tiger Woods where to literally have to buy half the courses in the game seperately. And even the way they treat their staff with things liked forced overtime. EA has a strong presence in my town and of the people I've spoken to who've worked there not one has anything nice t say about them. That is the glory that is EA.

Mass Effect 3 had multiple 'stolen' items as well.
