PLEASE NOTE: That this post is about EA… It is NOT Sims related. If this bothers you, don’t read this post.
By now most of you should now that EA is very greedy and corrupt. You do know that right? Well, PS3 owners who bought Battle Field 3 were supposed to get an addition game on the same disc. They pre-ordered it and bought it on release day only to discover that EA REMOVED it so they could sell it sepretely instead! Turns out that they LIED about it and never intended to add the addition game with BF3. Typical EA right? Now EA is getting their evil greedy butts sued in a class action lawsuit! Get them! Take EA for everything they’ve got and teach them that messing with their customers is NOT cool man!
A lot can change during the development process, and sometimes console exclusives are shuffled around or altered. However, after promising the free game, EA never announced that it was backing out on the deal until the game was out. In other words, many PS3 owners were given no reason to think that they weren’t getting Battlefield 1943…until they bought Battlefield and found out that the bonus game wasn’t on the disc.

Hahaha, you deserve it EA 8]
Finally a chance for customers to heads up and finally take revenge from EA in a justice way!
Serves them right being shady like this…And @jesse james I agree the baby swing should have included in gen!
‘Bout time, maybe they’ll be more careful about (pardon me here) dicking their customers around. I for one am tired of feeling like a fleeced sheep & getting squat for my money. like the sims store baby swing, why the heck wasnt it included in GEN? other than to make more money… soooo tired of the 40$ micro EPs…which I fear Showtime will also be like that. I hope EA gets screwed to the wall and has to reapproach how it treats its meal ticket, er consumers.
I hate them to best news 😛
I wish they would mess up more often, like this… Perhaps it would lead to a new era on EA where they would do anything for the people playing the games and not so much for the money…
For once, I’m happy with the american sue-happy attitude.
I hate them… Sorry, that might sound a bit blunt.
Surprised reaction, not.
I was really hoping Viacom would have purchased The Sims. At least we wouldn’t be getting half-behind games and stuff packs. EA, get it together.
I’d rather just have a new beginning. Finish up The Sims 3 and start fresh with The Sims 4, either under a different company or under a reinvented EA that would actually care about what the players want. I don’t mind $40 for an expansion pack if it were full-fledged and packed with more than enough content to enjoy. And if the Store is to be kept around, the prices seriously need to drop… significantly, that is. They also need to stop ripping us off with the baby swing that should have been included in Generations, like the others have mentioned. That is proof how they take random objects that go better with certain expansion packs and sell them separately. Five bucks says that the DJ booth will be sold at the Store in the near future, when it would have clearly fit Late Night better. By the end of the day, if it weren’t for us customers, The Sims franchise would simply be a one-hit wonder. We as the players are the ones making the series as big as it is. How can an average American such as myself know this and not the CEO of EA? I guess greed can truly cloud one’s decisions. It’s quite sad, too. The Sims 3 has so much wasted potential. Yet we continue to buy the games like the suckers we are. But where else can we get a similar game?
Couldnt agree with you more frankie. I’ve been silently thinking this since TS3 came out. World Adventures was the the best ep content wise they’ve released in my opinion. I didn’t feel ripped off and took me 6 mos to explore the whole thing. everything since has been disappointing and lacking in content, except maybe late night. I guess they think they can just half a$$ everything & we’ll still buy it. I’ve also wondered about a different studio taking over the sims franchise…hmm
please please sue EA for everything single dime they have earned by cheating our hard earn money. SUE EA!! CHARGE!!!! This is injustices! I hope EA learns a lesson not to mess with their customers!
Pretty! This was a really wonderful article. Thank you for supplying these details.
