Thank you.....if it was Take two doing this yall wouldn't say sh** about it......Why do you guys hate on EA for just doing something that other companies do. T2 was going bankrupt, they were either going to get sold or take a buyout. JUST LIKE EVERYBODY'S SAYING DON'T BUY EA GAMES......I SAY STOP HATEING ON EA.

I lost a lot of respect for EA after the exclusive NFL license deal after losing one of my favorite games (EPSN NFL 2K5). Over the last 2 to 3 years I have passed on a good 10 to 15 games from EA simply because the were developed or published by EA. This hostile take over attempt by a company that should be more than able to compete on level grounds is only more reason not to purchase EA games in the coming years.

With the Wii, XBox 360, PS3, and PC, there's more than enough gaming platforms and games available on them. If you are unhappy with this corporate bullying, then vote with your wallet. If the game say EA, just pass on it.

I think most people at Operation Sports are concerned about the loss of sports competitors. If Activision was taking away sports competition I'm pretty sure there would be more vocal outrage here.

Clever argument, but its comparing apples to oranges in this case.

I only recently joined the board, you have no idea what I have said on that topic. I would lose respect for any company that effectively kills a game that I enjoy. The name doesn't matter, only their actions.

I don't think anybody here approves of what Activision is doing- EA and Activision's tactics stink for gamers.

Bingo

It was a joke hence the smiley. Plenty have people on this board have called them evil. Maybe 1 of them can chime in. Spend some time in the football forums, I'm sure you'll come across it in there, lol.

Yes the name does matter to you because their buying out a company that made a game you liked. Not everybody on this board thinks that EA is killing the industry....their just looking at what they can do to progress as a business. Stop hating on EA just because their doing what they have to do to.
