Oh beware of EA! since they are planning to charge for demos and becoming a digital download company:

"Electronic Arts' current leadership has already said the publisher is moving its game business into more of a digital download company"

That means that the EULA will force you to accept more buggy games; currently the problem they are facing is that video games are considered consumer goods, they are obligated to follow such rules (even if they don't), but being a digital download company, all shall fall inside the EULA... smart move EA, they can sell more buggy games, dlc's and demos but you cannot complain because all was delivered via digital download and you accepted the download as-is... they sold you crap and you accepted it... smart, isn't it?

And taking these words as reference:

It is a favour. We are under no obligation to provide post-release patches. I believe the EULA for most, if not all games states something to the effect of the product being released "as-is" and the software having no warranty in and of itself. I seem to remember reading that, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Any warranty included in game purchases relates directly to the physical media on which the game is printed.

certainly that is the way it shall be... you've been warned

Well if that's the way they would go then EA should/would fall and it would be an example to other companies. DA:O is pushing my limits with EA and if they decided to not fix a problem but instead say tough luck, that would be the last time I purchased from them.

Indeed. The moment that a company of EA´s size can live from digital downloads only is still not here, but if they will they better offer top-notch-support.

Charging for demos...how insane. As is the strive to stop second hand sales of their games.



But honestly, before I start buying games as downloads I think I´m switching to retro gaming completely.

After this last bull **** bug crashing with dragon age I'm staying away from anything related to EA.

No one has to be forced into accepting anthing bugg related by EA, be smart don't download any thing by them. You get your message to them this way where it hurts them the most.
Also if they are under no obligation to support post-release patches etc, we as customers are under no obligation to support them (EA) as customers. This can only lead to there own downfall and for some reason is hardly surprising to me any more, when will companies learn?

Too bad they might take Bioware down with them... Oh well, there are still better game companies.

well its crap if its like that... anybody reading this would think twice about buying another EA's product... well too bad some of their games are good but well, buggy and have a lack of support for customers *looking at the cd of Dragon age: Origins*
