Okay wiseguy, link us to the part where it specifically says playing a title purchased legally a few days before release is breaking the T&Cs?

This is total bullshit. They can't punish people who received the game legally. Not everyone reads game sites or has twitter. Unless each copy of the game delivered comes with a written notice warning that playing early may affect accounts, I don't see how this could be legal. People buy the game, the game arrives in…

I agree completely. My copy was shipped from the distributor today and I'll likely get it tomorrow. Activision are punishing those loyal enough to preorder the game by telling us we can't play a few days early? Bullshit.

What gives you the impression that this is an episodic game?

The difference is that I have evidence to back up my opinion that you're an idiot. The evidence is right there for anyone to see.

Maybe you don't know what 'fag' means. I seriously doubt it. Either way makes you an ignorant idiot.

"console fags"? You should be banned for that shitty, childish and homophobic comment.

Why should they change if they're happy? You mean they should change because you don't like it? Have a think about that.

No Reggie Miller?

You've got to respect them for not giving up on this idea. Or feel sorry for them. I'm not sure which.

This is 2k12, not NBA Live. EA has nothing to do with any of this.

The copy I was sent was a standard copy. No DLC code inside, just an advert pimping the idea to me.

I'm lost. What's EA got to do with this?

There's more than just online problems that spoil this game for people. I had my issues with 2k11 and it took months for a patch to hit that made it playable for me. I gave 2k another chance and pre-ordered 2k12. Now it sits on my shelf, hoping that they'll patch the issues to make it playable again, which may or may…

I don't understand this move. The graphics and destruction in BF3 look exactly the same as BC2 to me. I already feel like I'm playing the same game and now they go and give me everything from BC2 to help that feeling along.

Stop ruining their PR. It's light years above the original Frostbite, as well you know. (Play along).

You expect anyone to take you seriously or give you any respect when you use a phrase like "call of crap"? You come across as a troll and nothing more.

I didn't say they were going out of business or in danger of doing so. What I said was that with the pattern they're following, it's not outside the realms of possibility that Nintendo might get out of the hardware game. Losing close to a billion dollars in a year isn't healthy for anyone. You might claim it's down to…

Yeah, I don't care about facts. It's not like people who know more than both us are feeling the same as me, is it? [www.joystiq.com]
