who cares? they will still make bf games which will get worse and worse and whish is actually the same as the old one!

just look at bf2, it HAD so many bugs for MONTHS, with every patch there were new bugs
now bf 2142 is just the same as bf2, just plays in the future )-|

i think EA bought 3 developers the last 1 1/2 - 2 month

the problem with EA is they dont have any creative ideas, and they try to squeeze as much money out of every success they have for as long as they can ... they dont listen to their customers and they try to make money by releaseing "booster packs" which should be released as patches for free since it only includes a few new vehicles and maps

some examples : The Sims Series, Battlefield Series

Some companies just can't get enough money. This would be OK, as long as the reults for me - the customer would be better. But I think that very large multinational companies do just a poorer and poorer service to the gamers comunity as their size increasese. And that's sad.

Well, if the games and development process improve, it's ok. However, if it doesn't, DICE will simply become another victim of the system.
