That's unfair, they had to move all of the solitaire calculations server-side because reasons

I figured a micro transaction would be required to buy the next three cards.

Madden developer suing EA.
The judge is allowing the case to go forward.

Some dude is claiming EA lifted the Madden source code from his work? $20 says this is settled out of court.

Nah, the guy shouldn't settle for less than $150,000,000 (5% of Madden's total sales). The merits of the case are unimportant: if he can get even just two or three gamers on the jury then he's guaranteed a nice fat "screw those EA bastards" check out of it.

EA's lawyers will bury this dude unless he has an unlimited legal fund. Not that I'm cheering for them, but statistics says so.

Damn.
Well if they then turn around and put bioware in charge of everything then it could be a good move.

Well, shit, now Sim City: Coruscant will have always-on internet connection for DRM.

"We can't be any clearer."
Yes, you can. Tell me what the fuck you think "clearer" and "DRM" mean.

At some point, microtransactions are going to go away. I'd bet on sooner rather than later.
It's the same as Zynga's "email every person you know every day" AND "pay for more stuff to get you ahead" business model and how it has completely fallen apart.
Now everyone's trying to do the same thing with mobile games, and moving similar models onto consoles. It's just bullshit. It will fail. A small percentage of folks will pay to be king of the hill, and everyone else will be interested for a second, but will quit once they realize they can't compete with assholes who are shelling out hundreds of dollars just so they can pretend to be the best.
Not to mention the new businesses popping up to help people NOT pay by doing tasks for them, like installing other apps and such.

Maybe for multiplayer purposes. In a single player game, I can't think of any reason to say, "No, don't pay me more money."

EA launches their version of MS Live.
In the name of all that is holy, if you know someone who only plays console games, slap them until they switch to PC.

Wow. A mere $30 for a whole year.

If you’re wondering when EA Access will hit PlayStation 4, well you’re gonna have a long wait ahead of you. Sony said no to the service as it felt it didn’t “represent good value to the PlayStation gamer.”

Sim City 4 addon mod maker says "Don't buy that game on Origin."
Apparently, they changed out the existing DRM with Origin DRM, and it breaks the game's ability to be patched or modded.
That's some good work they're doing over there at EA.

When reached for comment about this situation, the CEO of EA was quoted as saying, "Fuck you, pay me."
