I like EA and semi-like Microsoft. (Maybe if they didn't charge me double the amount for Xbox live and then continue to charge me until I bought another month...)

However, as said above, especially in the gaming industry, the more companies you control, the more fans you have to please, and thus the more generic "everyone gets what they want" kind of games come out.


Ya big companys like that chagre a great deal, your second point makes sense

people don't like microsoft, or more-over, Windows because they're dumb and can't work computers.



Besides apples there no other type of OS really besides maybe a few more that home users can really use I guess which is why they use windows

I have no issues with Microsoft, their products are generally of a high quality and fairly stable. Their Visual Studio line of products in particular are very impressive and I have yet to find any other IDE which rivals it in terms of integration and usability.

Most of Microsofts products are let down by third party code, particularly their operating systems. Vista in particular is plagued with buggy or non existant driver support from hardware manufacturers, and often gets the blame for things which are not actually it's fault, such as poorly written drivers and applications. People are too quick to lay the blame at Microsofts door because it happens to be the most obvious target to blame.



As for EA, I object to their treatment of the C&C franchise and their continued efforts to completely and utterly destroy everything it once stood for. However their other games are often very good (even if, sadly too often, heavily laden with DRM) and I have no intention of boycotting their entire product portfolio.


I also hate how they fucked up the cnc world but if lets say cnc was made in the way they wanted it to the new cnc games are still pretty fun for what they have planned

The best reason I can think of is that, when a company reaches a certain critical mass, it no longer needs to ask its customers what they want... instead, it begins telling its customers what they want. Smaller businesses depend more heavily on the good graces of their customers, and are thus more strongly compelled to provide quality services in order to retain those customers. Big business knows that it can do just about whatever it damn well pleases and, unless it gets really unlucky, enough people will buy the product anyway because it is cheaper or more widely known.

I don't *really* hate the business for being what it is; I hate the customers for not being smart or motivated enough to force it to change. I strongly dislike certain companies, but in the end they're really just looking out for their own skins. The customers are responsible for creating an environment in which parasitic, unethical businesses may thrive and grow rather than dying on the vine.


So its kinda like they buy what ever they get so micosoft can sell what ever they want?

People are to dumb and/or ignorant to think on their own. Look at all the vista haters. Every one of them is a mindless twat who jumped on the band wagon.

Couldn't be that vista legitimately sucked when it first came out?


Vista worked surprisingly well at launch compared to the last major consumer operating system Microsoft released (Yes, I'm talking about XP)


Maybe cause you have a pc that can handle it

you don't know about red light?

Of course I know about the Red Rings of Death, I've even experienced it, but it's fixable and although it's a pain to deal with it's not an end-all.


if I get the three rings of hell what can i do to prevent it? and if it does happen how much does it cost to fix it?
