EA Strikes again

[ugoo]

This time it's Mass Effect 2 the newest HD Multiplatform Game, Only console left to screw over now is the PS3. Any opinions on what EA PS3 game will go multiplatform next.

I don't understand what your trying to say. Mass effect 1 was released on the xbox360 and pc and so was mass effect 2, nothing changed. And mass effect 3 is going to be released on the 360 and pc, so once again nothing changed. What exactly are you trying to say with your post?

Edit: Ok now I know what your talking about. I just saw an article about mass effect 2 coming out on the ps3 next year, so this is what your complaining about eh? How is this a bad thing exactly?

Yeah you can't crate threads like this.. some of us (me) are too lazy to even look these things up

I still don't completely understand what the OP is trying to say.

What I'm saying is that EA should respect the idea of an Exclusive, if a game is announced as one aka Nba Jam WII or has been released as one such as Mass Effect 2 then suddenly changing it to a multiplat is unacceptable. NBA Jam hyped as Wii exclusive them BAM PS360 get their own versions with online while the Wii version's online is still in limbo (I have already made a thread about this). Now Mass Effect 2 a 360 exclusive and IMO a GOTY contender will now go multiplatform meaning any future releases will also be multiplatform. You buy consoles for their exclusives or else there should only be 1 console then, multiplat games are just the extra games you can get. It's disrespectful to the console owners to take an establised and released console exclusive and release it on another platform just to make some more money.

I've said this before and I'll say it again EA your money grubbing ways will be the death of you and I'll love every moment of it when it happens.

But how is it disrespectful to a console owner if a game goes multiplat :\
Of course they are money grubbing, the sole purpose of a corporation or company is to create dividends and profits for it's stockholders and employees.

I bought all 3 consoles because there are still plenty of games that are made for only one platform
(ps3's uncharted, god of war, gran turismo, alan wake/lost odyssey on the 360, zelda/mario games on the wii etc.), if one game becomes multiplatform, so what.. It's not like the console owner loses out on anything.

Still, I fail to see how you are put at a disadvantage if a former exclusive game gets licensed on another platofrm.
When you buy a game, you buy the right to play it on that console.
There is no term of sale that says you pay for the right to deny other console owners to play it in the future.

For example if I only had a Nintendo DSi and it's zelda games somehow got ported and licensed for the PSP, I still don't understand how the DSi consumer loses out on anything.

If the game goes multiplat, it also gives an option to buy which one...?
It also give way to other platform owners who want to play without spending on new console...?
And finally, this gives the company a boasted profit than a soloplat....
