  • 12 Chevex // Mar 28, 2008 at 1:12 am

    So apparently 2K took a gander through their list of patents. It would seem they discovered a patent they put through in 1999 that covers any entity attempting a hostile takeover of 2K. 2K took this opportunity to file a suit against EA.

    In an ironic turn of events 2K now owns EA.

  • 13 Aj Collins // Mar 28, 2008 at 3:01 am

    Hey guys. Awesome idea. Do you think maybe you can make a 728×90 version or perhaps release the PSD version?

  • 14 bluey2000 // Mar 28, 2008 at 3:45 am

    I love the “It’s in the Game” legal notice one, the best so far… any chance you can make an “EA:Bad Company Strategies” one?

  • 22 tmoney` // Mar 31, 2008 at 9:32 am

    No way will I spend extra money for a game.

  • 23 tmoney` // Mar 31, 2008 at 9:32 am

    No way will I spend extra money on this game. Screw you EA.

  • 24 Jonnycartooney // Mar 31, 2008 at 9:39 am

    I do not by any means support what EA is doing with BF:BC. Although I love the BF games and I will be getting BF:BC aswell. As far as buying the extra content? No way EA…. gg

  • 25 KillerBee // Mar 31, 2008 at 9:40 am

    Good thing the game sucks ass. I have been playing the beta for a week and it is just garbage.

  • 26 theturk // Mar 31, 2008 at 11:15 am

    I’m definitely joining the boycott. I can’t get the banner to work in my forum signature though. I can get the picture, but the animations don’t work.

  • 36 AlwaysCrashing // Apr 1, 2008 at 2:44 pm

    EA is ARMS DEALING!!! ERGO THEY ARE TERRORISTS!!!
    Seriously though, all this DLC crap is getting out of hand. Being able to download updates and extras ought to take games forward, give us more complete and fulfilling games, not take games backwards by giving us buggy half games we have to buy the rest of and update as they make them.

  • 37 crobob // Apr 1, 2008 at 8:13 pm

    Make me pay once, its ok for me.
    make me pay twice shame on you!

  • 38 HYPER Devil Dog // Apr 1, 2008 at 9:49 pm

    I hope EA will smarten up and start hiring people above the age of 5 i meen come on!!!

  • 41 BlancoMeow // Apr 3, 2008 at 7:27 am

    Hey guys. Had to add this to my signature after hearing the latest show. It’s just my clan website, but I figure every little bit helps. I also don’t really post on any other forums. Anyway … click my name for the link (my user name is BlancoMeow21).

  • 46 Sam // Apr 6, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    I already cancelled a pre-order and anyone who cares about gaming should too. Why ? because EA Is the biggest publisher and if they get away with this the future will look like this $59.99 - core retail game, extra money for more creatures in spore perhaps, weapons, maps etc… this is B.S. The DLC Idea is really getting out of control…

  • 50 EPIC C0VERT // Apr 7, 2008 at 5:52 pm

    Hey guys, I just want to say that I think this is the greatest thing I’ve seen on a gaming blog and am definitely going to boycott this game. I’d also like to say that I support you guys sticking it to other sites that don’t give you credit I am now off to listen to the podcast.

  • 51 anthonyjh // Apr 7, 2008 at 5:54 pm

    Damn EA! Damn them to hell!

    Seriously though, I was already going to boycott this game. Now I have a public forum to do so. Good on ya SG!

    SCREW EA! THE BETA SUCKED ANYWAY! ITS ONLY FUN ON OASIS AS AN ATTACKER!

    OBVIOUS SIGN!

  • 54 Kraivyne // Apr 8, 2008 at 12:39 am

    Screw EA, they are always taking advantage of the gaming community.

    It’s about time we make them realize that we are not sheep, we do not get controlled by corporate scum like EA.

  • 55 Riki // Apr 8, 2008 at 2:41 am

    Posted links on cinephiliacs.com which should spread the word to upwards of 5 or 6 people.

  • 56 Man Animal X // Apr 8, 2008 at 6:32 am

    Dude finally i get to stick it to the Evil empire called EA, who helps take away gamers choices by stifling compettion & putting out poor product at $60, what an arrogant self-serving CO EA IS!! You better believe I’ll Boycott these $$ grubbing pricks

  • 57 Markus M // Apr 8, 2008 at 7:58 am

    Boycotted… Let’s hope they get the message!

  • 58 Sam GRHSuperman // Apr 8, 2008 at 10:27 am

    We here at the Gamerhusbands Radio podcast are joining you in the boycott. We have covered many of the ways EA has milked us of our money, or tried to. Thanks for the great video. Love it!

  • 60 jStark // Apr 8, 2008 at 4:59 pm

    Boycotted!!! EA bitches

  • 61 Ninja // Apr 8, 2008 at 5:43 pm

    Us here at Movie Mak3rz fight for the cause!
    It’s disgusting that they make you pay $60 for it,and you find out the game is sold short.
    Unless they make the games WAY cheaper,or realise that DLC is an “extra” and not a feature,then most of us at MM won’t even touch the game when it comes out,screw that!

  • 62 Giroro // Apr 9, 2008 at 9:33 am

    Battlefield: Bad Business

  • 63 Lilkuke // Apr 9, 2008 at 5:25 pm

    I am behind you guys 1000%. This is so wrong, this is NOT how to make video games. EA is just plain retarded, as thay have demonstrated before. Releasing maps is one thing, guns are a totally different thing. We have to stop this.
