'Bought'.

I feel dirty

I would feel dirty if EA didn't have such shitty business practices. And no, Wazz, this time I'm not even talking DRM!

Did they rim you when they found out you loaned a friend an EA game nath?

I bet you loved it.

some clueless ppl on the comments tho ..

That's pretty darn awesome. It gives you the serial numbers on the purchase complete screen, so even if they did revoke it, you'd still have a valid serial number anyway.

chances are they just ban the serial, so while you might be able to play it offline, you'd be fucked if u wanna go online..

and if the games use GFWL i'm not even sure they would work offline...


question is tho, with EA being EA, would they even try to do something about it? its potentially a pretty damn big loss of cash they had there, even if it only works on the UK site..

Dammit! seems they charge again now :/

But kudos to sticking it to the man!

Edit: £4.99 each now that's actually quite a bargain.

I wonder if this could've been planned.

Set it up.
Leak it.
Watch people who WOUDLN'T buy those games storm thee store.
Get some residual buyers, for example;

Edit: £4.99 each now that's actually quite a bargain.

Get free press from some random peeps who happen to like them.

And so forth.

Or should i apply for marketing on EA

Well, I got 'em last night. Any actually worth installing?

I think Mirror's Edge is a great game but lends itself to consoles more than PCs.
Deadspace is also decent if you get used to the interface.

i'm probably the only one that likes mercenaries 2 here

but if you got it i'd say its worth trying, its a console port and it shows but i find it to be a pretty cool game.

should probably stay far far away if you hate super bad jokes tho (and not bad in a funny way either).
