Will EA be the one to make that Holiday Special game we have all been wanting?
http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/34120
Electronic Arts signed a deal with The Walt Disney Company, the owners of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars license, to exclusively develop and publish Star Wars games.
This is a multi-year deal that will see three development studios, Visceral, DICE, and Bioware making Star Wars games, though Bioware is listed for its involvement with The Old Republic. John Pleasants, co-president of Disney Interactive talked about the deal saying "This agreement demonstrates our commitment to creating quality game experiences that drive the popularity of the Star Wars franchise for years to come."
Though no specific games were announced, it is not yet known how it will be affecting Nintendo gamers. The last notable Star Wars game on Nintendo consoles outside of Lego Star Wars titles was a Red Fly Studio-made port of Force Unleashed 2.

Please don't tell me you actually plan to defend EA... i think the stupidity of that endeavor speaks for itself...
So now you are going from damning the games because of how you feel about EA's corporate decisions, to assuming they are gonna run the games into the ground. The last few Star Wars games have not been good (see Kinect Star Wars), so I don't see them doing anything but getting better.but even if they do improve what's stopping EA's corporate side from coming over and taking stuff out for dlc, giving you an online pass, all of that wonderful stuff...
The only people who are hurt from an Online Pass are people who buy a game used, so thats a good thing. It makes it so the publisher can still make SOME money from a used game salethen why do I still have to pay 10$ after buying it new? and what if you don't have internet?
(and all a Online Pass is needed for is multiplayer).kingdoms of amalur says hi
And DLC is often a good thing because it lets them expand a game with new stuff like characters, weapons, etc.even if its already on the disc?
Look at Mass Effect, they kept adding DLC packs to expand the story and multiplayer.and all of that adds up to the magical price of 870$ for the whole experience... great...
Um, $870? Also, DLC is OPTIONAL. No one is forcing you to buy that extra content. Do you whine about stuff like better car stereos for your car? No one is forcing you to pay for that new content. I guess you also never bought PC expansion packs. You think you are entitled to get all DLC for free, despite developers having to spend time and resources creating them just like they did with the game?no i don't think it should be free but if i don't get the DLC i'm not getting the full experience and seeing everything the game has to offer. and also do you honestly think a single game should have almost 900$ of add on content...

and also i love how the movie/music industry has been just fine about used sales but if you buy a used video game you are a terrorist.
