TL;DR Electronic Arts no longer develops any games as single-player experiences.

Well, its been happening for a while now but I guess its official.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/119449-EA-Turns-Its-Back-on-Single-Player-Games

Not sure if anyone cares, but I decided to post for those who didn't already know.

Edit: Btw this is simply a news post.

I swore I'd never give EA another penny of my money... looks like they plan to make it much easier for me to keep that promise.

Well, they did say Battlefield 4 was being made and I'm apparently stupid so I'll be getting it.

Me too, but I'll probably play it for free and see if it is even worth it. I also hope they pack all the DLC into an expansion like they used to. Unless they do that I wont be buying the DLC. One can only hope they don't whore out all the content in the form of DLC's like battlefield 3. But its a fools dream.

I just don't get where it's all coming from and why people put up with it. I remember they used to release new maps in Battlefield 1942 for free in patches, and now you have to pay for it. You used to be able to host your own internet games right off your PC, but they took it away. The older battlefield games used to have a good modding community expanding on the game and keeping it alive, but that's not possible anymore. I don't understand, maybe its just gotten easier to herd the sheep.

People put up with it because these damn kids today don't know what a good game is P

Ok, now lets hope EA doesn't get a hold of any of our favourite singleplayer franchises. The few that a left, that is.

Better to focus on one or the other... Lots of multiplayer games have anemic singleplayer experiences that were probably a waste of time anyway.

EA needs to just die. They have ruined more good games than they have made bad games..... and that is a lot

I just hope Dead Space 3 is okay. I swear, if they screw that one up. They better make peace with whomever they pray to because I'm praying to Joe Pesci. Joe is pretty useful with a bat.

I can't remember the last time I purchased a game by EA, and after reading that article I don't think that will change anytime soon. I will always remember the time I spent playing such EA classics as Skate or Die, A Bard's Tale, and Kings of the Beach.

And folks wonder why I prefer my 8bit/16bit consoles to most modern games.

I don't know what it is but it seems like I find 99% of modern stuff just doesn't appeal to me so as I get older my tastes seem to progressively regress. If that makes me a hipster so be it, but I doubt my fat arse would look good in skinny jeans so maybe not.

I look great in skinny jeans, but that's because I spend 2 hours a day at the gym and I do it 6 days a week.

Watched every season of Biggest Loser and it done scared me right into the gym P

Well, you're not alone, if it's any consolation.

Games were good then, because they had to be.

I trust I don't need to explain why?
