Sometimes taking a stand hurts. I have been anti-EA (electronic arts) for a long time. I have sworn of knowingly buying and/or playing EA titles, even ones that we already own, because I think they are an evil empire. I don't actively send hate mail or pipe bomb their vile facilities, but I refuse to send any of my money their way (the wife still does, but I knew she was flawed when I married her). It looks like my stand is going to prevent me from playing a couple of games that look quite cool: Skate and the games in the Orange Box. While I knew I would never have played Skate anyways since it is on a console and we are not big console gamers here, I fully expected to get the Orange Box. However, EA is doing distribution for Valve (and I am aware this probably does not include Steam) so Valve's games are out now.
I am sad again. - Games

Just get it through steam, and there won't be a problem. No money to EA. Hell, check this out... it looks like EA wants to COMPETE against Steam. http://www.cinemablend.com/games/EA-s-Link-Rivals-Valve-s-Steam-1499.html

Posted: 2007-10-23 20:29:59, by RookOi! What was it about EA that you didn't like? I can't remember...(Go figure). Anyways did it have to do with their sports games, budget cuts for employees, (better way of putting it: Screwing them over), or the fact that they are really an evil cult bent on destroying the world with a mass suicide and global warming.... and something to do with monkeys... Anyways.....Fuck whatever I going somewhere else on the internet now.... umm... Fuck!
