[boxboy99]

Sounds like someone combined the words digital and monitze. Means digitaly take your freaking money. EA is like anyone other mega corporation, there only overwhelming goal is to increase the bottom line.

"it allows me to be able to take further advantage of that consumer over a longer period of time," he said.

As if they didn't take advantage of us already. He should really choose his words better, or do a better job hiding their real intentions...

DLC is a huge component of games now. I love how everyone bitches and moans when sports games try little add-ons but praise other genres for doing the same damn thing: holding back content and issuing it as paid-DLC.

I see no problem with this considering everyone else is doing it and consumers have proven to eat it up. If you dont want the content then dont buy it, no one is forcing you to.

I'm sure Moore was really trying to speak to his companies share-holders with these quotes; trying to say that Madden can attain more profits for the company.

I love how the EA is trying to extend the life of madden this coming year. Even when some people trying to give madden a bad rep. Madden is a great game that just needs some better graphics and tweaks here and all . I am glad to see ps2 been dropped from the support now. Now they can focus more on the next Gen system madden to make it much more fun to play in the near future. Can't wait for the first blog from Ian and company later this month.

not sure how to feel, im going to take a wait and see approach. It sounds like a good thing but part of me feels that it might be gimmicky downloads, something that would take focus away from sim play, but this is just a very quick off the cuff reaction

Lol yeah. I hope that was a "Freudian slip".

wonder if they will be willing to pay me for a bigger hard drive to play their digitized games?
