It will be hard to remain constructive, but I will try my best.
First of all, I would like to ask you all which user platform has made EA thrive over the last decade? Which platform users remained loyal to EA, through the ups and downs? Yes, the PC users.
It's like a long marriage and now EA has literally dumped us for a younger, hotter chick... the console.
It's been a decade now that I for one remained faithful to EA even though I've been disappointed on some releases. I can tell you, however, that for a few years now it's been a tough ride.
People who recommend others of "moving on" or buying a next-gen console are missing the fact that most of us aren't ready to buy a 500$ gaming console to play one game.
To lay to rest the debate on consoles being better than PCs, PCs have better performance and better hardware. There are reasons to why consoles may run better for games but it's as simple as to looking as far as the operating system. Consoles really don't have one, it's more or less an "enhanced" system bios chip. Where as a computer has A LOT more going on than just the game running. And that is simply just the tip of the iceberg on that topic.
I won't ever own a newer console, mainly because I refuse to pay more money to just have a console, which is just a computer anyways, to game on. My computer is much more than just a game center. It does my work, as well as my entertainment. A console, just games. It's not really what I call a smart purchase.
We've already seen many bugs in the FIFA 08 demo. And not a lot of promise has been made of the PC version. In fact, I haven't seen one game play video of the game on current gen prior to the release of the demo. There wasn't even any information on the PC version of the game. Playing the demo, I feel that the graphics have not changed since 2006. The game play has improved a little but is no where near the 360 and PS3 versios.
Outdoing the PS3 and 360 is not an impossible task. As there are many very nice games for the PC. And according to a recent poll on which platform forum users are buying the game on shows that the PC is still the second most popular platform. So if this is all a marketing and deals scheme, what happened to supply and demand?
It's clear we are being cheated big time. Now that we have helped EA poise themselves over the past years as a major developer for new consoles, now that we have served EA as guinea-pigs for so many years, we are being dumped for there are hot chick consoles that will cash-in for the best games while we, PC users, bite the dust..
