I'm throughly convinced that EA is run by a bunch of monkeys.

Anyone else use Origin? It honestly is the worst gaming service I have ever seen... It constantly crashes/refuses to start up and EA doesn't do shit to inform the Origin users of why their systems aren't working.


ALL I WANNA DO IS PLAY SOME FUCKING BATTLEFIELD

EA is stupid. Having an online pass that comes with your game that can only be activated once making it pointless to buy one of their games used is just dumb

.

Plus, why the hell do I even need to use origin? I bought the game at a store so I have a solid copy of it, why not just make actual servers dedicated to each game? Better customer service, no shitty adds telling me to buy stuff. Plus, it really reduces the chance of games not being able to connect. If Origin goes down, all EA games on the PC go down.

Yeah mine is down too. I thoroughly hate Origin. It makes sense business-wise for them but you'd think they would be able to implement it without all these errors.

Definitely monkeys. No skiing in SSX? Idiots.

Anyone want to play some BF3 when this shit is back up?

My dad's uncle's cousin's boyfriend's mistress's daughter's high school friend's mother's sex slave used to work for EA, but they got fired because they told me the details of the upcoming game EA Snow, which features skiing and snowboarding in an urban and resort environment. It's due out Q4 of 2014.

I'm not stupid. I know exactly why they do it. It still doesn't change my feelings about it

You think if I get a used copy for cheap the code I already entered to play online last time will still work?

Well if you have the code you can play it anywhere that you can log into your account. You don't play Madden or anything like that? That blows

So by that logic you don't play anything that has multiple installments like call of duty, battlefield, any sport game, halo, etc.

OP, you spelled thoroughly wrong. I still understood what you meant though, so I guess that's okay. I don't know if you're much of a gambler, but if you happen to enter a spelling bee, don't bet on yourself.
