That is Why I Will Never Buy Another EA PC Game
I received a new computer from work that while it is older has a pretty decent video card in it. I broke out the old Command and Conquer Generals and Battlefield 2 to see how they would play on my new laptop.
Command and Conquer played excellent at the highest settings which I was never able to do before. After anialating 3 hard armies I decided to try Battlefield 2. As I was installing the first disk I went to the EA website to download the latest patch which was almost 2 years old. While that was downloading I decided to check out the forum to see if anyone even played it anymore and found people wanted to but that somehow EA was not allowing servers to show up within the game anymore. The whole idea of BF2 is that you play folks online.
The whole reason that I stopped playing BF2 in the first place was EA screwing up the game by releasing terrible patches that would render the game unplayable. I had decided back then that if I was going to purchase any new games they would be Xbox games (I would have to purchase an Xbox as well of course).
EA just reminded me of that previous decision and even though I have a computer that would likely handle current games nicely I won’t be purchasing any from them for my PC. I was interested in Spore but with EA’s patch reputation and the root kit that they install on your machine as a legit customer they are not coming near any of my PC’s from now on.
