StaceyPowers Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I didn't know EA had called loot boxes "Surprise Mechanics" until I saw @Alyxx and @killamch89 talking about it, and now I can't stop laughing. So I thought I'd start a thread where you can list the most hilarious/outrageous/ridiculous/infuriating things you've heard game companies say over the years.

Even worse is when they say they aren't really informed about the game their company is selling so they'll transfer you to someone who is qualified.

kingpotato Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 EA said that gamers aren't as interested in linear SP games as much as they used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forgot the part where they said single-player games are mostly dead and yet a couple of years later, are banking on the success of an upcoming single-player Star Wars game. Oh the irony...

skyfire Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Considering EA just copy pastes the last years games in new title. I wonder if the game company like this is even worth listening to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 The most ridiculous thing game companies say is that they have heard what consumers have said about what they want, and the their next edition to a series or original game will be exactly what we're asking for.

Oh the irony... Thats where I have doubts, did they really said that ? Before posting my original response I was actually going to type that same phrase, but upon doing a quick search I wasnt able to find any post where EA actually said: "single-player games are mostly dead". So I'm not sure if they actually said it, I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
