Kung puwede lang 'All of the Above'. :lol: Ang natatandaan ko, kaya maraming galit din sa EA kasi nung panahon ng Dreamcast, hindi nila sinoportahan ang Sega. Eh parang sa Mega Drive / Genesis yata sila sumikat pa noon. That said, I *might* get the upcoming Star Wars. Nami-miss ko na rin kasi yung Jedi Knight series. Mukhang meron itong kinuhang gameplay doon. Pero hintay muna din ako sa mga reviews kasi EA gonna EA. Ha ha!

Microtransactions for me. Medyo tied rin naman kasi dito yung bad use of licensed games (i.e. the Star Wars Battlefront series). I just hate it na dinadala nila sa console yun business model na para sa mga cellphone games. PWEH!

Sa selling incomplete games naman, medyo tanggap ko na rin kasi almost all game devs and publishers are already releasing DLC content Kaya I don't hate it that much anymore.

Kuwento ng isang member natin (hindi na siya active kahit sa FB group) na naging game developer, sa DLC bumabawi yung mga companies.

Parang konti lang yun games na nalaro ko for EA.
Ang primary complaints ko lang yun bugs at mukhang hindi na-QA bago na-release.
