@Mokbol-
Did you mean to write a response to my comment, or was that just a QTF? ;)
DaFox,
Wow, EA really is hell-bent on shrinking their customer base. Why in the world would a company summarily terminate offline-only capabilities? Most gamers probably are connected to the web, but there must be a decent portion who aren't, or who have very limited connectivity. This decision at best will result in
some lost customers...at worst in a
lot of lost customers. Plus, implementing online connectivity in games takes
more work, not less. Truly baffling, though EA excels in that department.
He sees the growth of gaming constrained mostly by piracy and the difficulties in getting in-game ads right.
LOLed at this line.
Growth in gaming, Mr. Riccitiello? Don't you mean growth in
profits? Most GAMERS wouldn't describe in-game ads as growth in games. Then again, maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. Seeing giant posters for the movie
I Am Legend in the tunnels of Hellgate:London was obviously aesthetic genius.
