EA is hoping to hit $1,000,000,000 in DLC sales this year.

This is shitty, and we're to blame. DLC typically SUCKS. WTF do people waste their money on it? Because they non-interactive horse that doesn't do shit in the game needs a new outfit?

Videogame sales at retail don't actually have very good profit margins...

I feel like slapping the fuck out of whoever thinks this is a given.

Origin apparently hacked, peeps reporting unauthorized charges against their Origin-tied credit cards.

Must've been some ultimate privateer hackers. Karma, bitches.

EA is still being EA.

Doesn't that make it an unofficial Mad Max game?

Creative Officer thinks gamers are too advanced for most gamers.

Eh...I kind of get what he's saying. Some games are ridiculously complex, but I think that's where game companies need to stop worrying about making games for everyone, and instead make games for a target audience.

Not every game has to appeal to everyone, and in fact, it won't. Accept that and design games with that in mind.

As something more than a casual gamer, but less than hardcore, I'd appreciate a moderately involved game.

I don't want match-3s or endless runners... but i dont really have time for skyrim and stuff.

Mobile gaming sucks.

They're so limited by the technology. On screen controls are complete shit.

That being said, they should be porting old Nintendo RPGs (I know they've done a couple here and there).

For my 10" penis?

Technically, I have 3 screens. 27", 24" and 17" (the laptop screen itself) at home.

Preserved in a jar that sits on your mantle? I guess buying it at a swap meet makes it yours.

Yeah, the one in your mouth.

Someone zinged me with that one once.

EA wants more open world games.

Why? Because the players want them? Because they're what's hot? Because it allows more creative freedom?

No, because of greed.

I don't think it will hurt them, long run. Remember the last SimCity debacle?

I agree they'll be around a while, but $3 billion in stock devaluation has probably caused some heads to roll.

Just probably not the right heads.
