EA Sports' Season Ticket Hears Crickets on Debut Day (Kotaku)

Re: EA Sports' Season Ticket Hears Crickets on Debut Day (Kotaku)

If you say so. If you want to believe you know more than anyone else does, have at it.

If I say so?

Are you a kid? Or have you ever worked on a project of this magnitude in the real world?

Stop acting like I'm being some know it all. This isn't hard to wrap your head around.

This project likely took a while to develop and a single developer would bring home 65K a year.

You then have web developers putting in time to support the plan. The time it took to integrate it to the PSN and XBL networks would come at a cost. Pushing 65,000GB of data across their networks would come at a cost. Doing Q/A testing throughout the process would come at a cost.

What about the design phase at the executive level? What about infrastructure costs in supporting the feature? What about the time spent discussing it at events like E3? Their stage time is far from cheap.

Etc. etc. etc.

Yeah I think anyone who's worked a day in the real world would be able to identify these items and realize that this likely didn't generate true profit for EA.

I too fail to understand why people seem personally offended by this Season Ticket, and seem to wish it wasn't an option at all. Aren't options a good thing? Assuming none of us are forced to buy it at gun point, I really don't see the downside. They're really just giving guys like me, who are willing to spend a little extra cash, an extra weekend with several highly anticipated games.

Exactly. No one has come up with a reasonable reason it's a bad thing.

Actually I have. Many many projects in the tens of millions of dollars. If you want to continue to argue that your hypotheseis is somehow to be taken strictly as fact, enjoy. You'll be arguing alone.

Besides basically nothing you posted relates to my post.

I got the season ticket so I could try out the games before I buy them. Instead of me going out and buying a game and being out $60. Get to try out NHL, FIFA and even Golf, may even buy that depending if I like what I play.

Because when I say it "likely didn't generate profit" that suggests I'm making claims that are facts? Should we define the word "likely" ?

Dear lord, 63,000 posts here and you fail to comprehend logical and experienced suggestion over claiming facts? I'd rather you left me alone if that's what you think you're reading. Good grief son. Please leave me alone.

Leave you alone? Ok. I am not the one ranting because someone disagreed. Get over yourself. It's obvious you're looking to argue. I simply am not.

I was quoting and speaking to someone else, you interjected into the conversation.

Why would I be catering to what you're saying when I wasn't even speaking to you in the first place?


I'm trying to figure out where you're coming from, but it just doesn't make sense.

You seem to assume that EA hired whole new team for this specific project. I highly doubt that was the case. More likely, they're using guys who are already on salary. At my company, we have new promotions all the time, and we don't have to hire new personnel for every project.

Where I am coming from? Mostly laughing at you getting so upset about something so trivial.

What's your point? Just because they are already on salary, doesn't mean the time they spend on the project comes at zero cost.

Again, please leave me alone. What's so hard to understand here.

I was explaining to someone who claimed that EA made straight profit that it likely wasn't the case, you seem to think different but haven't actually explained why, then proceed to troll and laugh at me without cause.

Seriously, bugger off if you got nothing to say.

He's assuming a lot. But in the end who cares?

Continue to contribute nothing to the conversation. I dare you.

Actually I neither disagreed nor trolled. You're simply hyper-sensitive and over value your opinion. I suspect low self esteem as the reason for overcompensation.
