I think I might stop gaming at this rate, I seriously hate EA soo much they suck at making games and f**k other developers games up as well.

Its a shame because I know some developers that are now owned by EA like Bioware will still apparently work independantly with titles like Mass Effect series and the like but with EA hanging over them I can't help but feel EA will screw up the games especially when that evil EA logo hits you in the face when you put the disc in and it loads up.

I think Microsoft Game Studios needs to aquire these companies instead, with EPIC and Rockstar under MGS that would be very good indeed.

So these companies can be screwed by MS and after two years half of all the good people leave to be replaced by three times the number of idiots and turning their games in even more of a casual deal then they are now? Well, Epic doesn't actually make games anymore, more tech-demo's so they can sell their engines(The Crysis team is in the same boat in that regard.). How is that in anyway very good?

You want the videogame industry to die don't you...

Ahhh... for a moment there you were scaring me with your giving up chat. but then all SS4 logic comes to-gether once again with the idea that Microsoft is nicer and less corporate than EA.

Love ya tabitz SS4 - never give up!

Look at that, SSJ4 is actually proving my point of how MS are actually destroying every company they buy...well except Epic...they destroyed themselves allready and would be a great tool in MS arsenal to keep waging this pointless HD-arms race.
