Frobes on EA's well earned victory

So, what is true?


I don't doubt for a minute that BW creates their own content, or comes up with their own ideas. But creative freedom is not all involved. There's the practice of DLCs, which we know comes from EA (the infamous recording of him explaining how to make extra bucks with it), and then how to further the milking with some questionable ones. So, you can still have "artistic freedom", as long as you follow some business practices. And I think the question opened by Forbes and many others is that in the middle of this there are some shady areas.

I don't know about it. But it doesn' t seem that far from the truth these days.

It's still made of fecal matter. Therefore, still a turd, scientifically speaking.

Sorry DJBare, it's needed for context! Please don't take my cupcake!

So how many of you can I expect to see here on Friday night?

I forgot about how important this Friday will be, and appointed a girl's night with a friend:unsure: But she's a ME fan too, so I guess we'll be lurking here from time to time.

I got a e-mail from amazon uk today ........ ME3 has dropped from £29.99 to  £17.00 on the pc and these are new copies of the game. No idea the prices on Xbox or PS3 but i really dont care about them :D.


Console prices are just under £24.

 If they don't announce anything concrete at PAX, when is the next gaming convention? E3? 
(not saying I'm holding the line until then, but just wondering)

An old saying comes to mind: "Hope for the best, but be ready for the worst".
