Viva la Resistance!

EA made a choice to sell advantages weapons to people rather than release a balanced experience in Battlefield: Bad Company. We’ve made a choice not to buy the game.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    I’m with you guys.

    I’m not contributing to set a precedent that will be bad for all gamers.

    EA. You’re appalling.
