There are some lessons that all game makers can take away from the current challenges of social gaming. First and foremost, Riccitiello said, “consumers won’t pay for crap.”

 

Great gaming, he said, starts with truly good entertainment, not viral marketing involving spamming your friends to get a shovel.

 

Crap? I could find much more colorful words to use for today's EA-made games. /Sarcasm

 

Of course, that is just me. :)

BF1942, BFV, BF2 and BF2142 are the only games that I like from EA/DICE. BC2 lags a lot for me no matter what I do. I won't even talk about MoH. :P And BF3, I can not get into it that much. It seems too much was put into BF3 and it took away from the true Battlefield feel like BF2 and BF2142 have.

The only thing that I like a lot from EA is the Need 4 Speed series. I have all the N4S games for PS3. :)

Need For Speed: Underground is where it all started to get known from how I see it! Such a great game series in my opinion! Ps. Need For Speed World is P4F --> http://world.needforspeed.com/home
