I'm EA Free I had NBA Street VOL 2 and SSX Tricky but I traded them in.
I will never buy an EA game ever again unless it's of older stuff.

Few years back, I was in a big NCAA/Madden kick because of college and friends and stuff; however, after getting them for 2 years straight, I decided it wasn't worth spending $50 each year and haven't bought one since. F1 2001 for PC was also really good. That's it for EA games, unless you want to count a Desert Strike I got with a Genesis system a while back, and some Ultima games for the PC.
They really do make overpriced crap nowadays. What's worse is that you know the next version is right around the corner, so it's stupid to pay full price for any of them.

The last EA product I've bought is Command & Conquer: The First Decade compilation. Since EA is evil, they released this compilation unpolished. Released patches on their website will help a lot, but I still hate EA for not polishing this compilation in the first place. Hopefully they won't ruin the upcoming Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. For now, it seems rather promising (Joseph D. Kucan is back as Kane!  ). Beside this compilation I bought 5 months ago, I haven't bought any EA game for a really long time. |

OH GOD
I feel SO GUILTY at being responsible for providing a few dollars that will help EA's diverse collection of artists and programmers pay the rent
especially since the last EA game I bought was Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

Who then promptly dropped out of the gaming industry to focus on other things.
It's not against the people it's what EA seems to be doing to the industry, sure it sucks for the people working for EA but what about the companies that EA drives into the ground with it's stratergies and business tactics what about their artists and programmers with familys.

Oh jeez. I forgot that I bought the Command & Conquer Compilation. I had to. Every single game in the series on one disc all working in XP. Argggg. I also forgot that I had Road Rash and Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego on the Genesis before they got all evil.

no real guilt trips for me,
although I do dig 'Rumble Racing' and wish to try out 'Freedom Fighters'
I've already decided long ago to never purchase an EA title unless it's used, and I've never broken that decision.

I think they make like 4 cents and hour You know that EA just published Oddworld, right? It was developed completely by Oddworld Inhabitants. I'm not even going to get into the wages issue - but if it's that bad surely the programmers can work elsewhere, at a company that pays them better  Unless there's illegal practices going on, this is simple law and demand at work on their wages. |

Yeah, I bought Madden 05 (I should have bought ESPN NFL 2K5...)
I like Def Jam Fight 4 NY, but I haven't bought it... so then I only have one (albiet the worst kind) of the EA games...
I did want to buy Stranger's Wrath, but never got around to it...

The World Is Not Enough for both the N64 and the PlayStation, and that's it. I would have bought Stranger's Wrath if I still had my Xbox (although hesitation caused by how unimpressed I was with Munch's Oddysee didn't help matters much).
I own so few EA games not because of any ethical quandaries I might have about purchasing their titles, but because so few of their titles are even worth buying these days.

If you haven't played Freedom Fighters go for it the only real problem is it's length and abscene of multiplayer.

I forget where, but I remember reading that the guy who made almost all of the CG for Silent Hills 1 and 2 left Konami for EA. Scary thought.
Anyway, I don't own any EA games. Any that I've played either belong to my brother or were gifts and were promptly sold. Supposedly the rights to the Neverhood games belong to EA, but I'm not sure about the particulars on that one.
