...I already own both (on Steam), will I get access to the MOH beta early, WTF!
EDIT: Never mind! I see it now. Its a BFBC2 and MOH to get the beta.
EDIT2: MOH beta is in my library!
i have bc2, but i don't have bf2. so very tempting. what do you guys think?
I got BF2 when it was on sale during christmas it was $10-15. Waste of money for me. Ugly game with lots of cheaters.
$60 pre-orders have been getting on my nerves. No thanks.
EA doesn't qualify as a company that gives a rats ass about literally anything but cash, a trend growing more and more popular these days.

That's sorta what happens when your company is losing huge sums of money like EA is.
Not sure what you're talking about.. unless you mean, the large sums of $ they have spent buying up smaller studios.That's sorta what happens when your company is losing huge sums of money like EA is.
This isn't the MPAA where they make more $ every year, and still claim a loss in $ through imaginary math. Unlike the record industry, EA is quite open to digital distribution. Thank god they're finally selling titles on Steam. The EA Download system is terrible. ..and finally, Valve is less likely to fuck their customers in the way EA has/does. Only time will tell.EA Announces Strong Quarterly Profit
Posted on: Thursday, 13 May 2010, 12:35 CDT
Electronic Arts Inc. said Tuesday that strong sales of game titles like "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" and "Mass Effect 2" gave the company a quarterly profit above expectations.
The company earned $30 million in the quarter that ended March 31, its fiscal fourth. The year before it reported a $42 million loss.
Revenue rose 14 percent to $979 million from $860 million.
EA's adjusted revenue of $850 million surpassed Wall Street's expectations of a profit of $835.4 million. Adjusted results exclude special items and account for deferred revenue from games with online components.

Yea, that 30 million was the first quarter they made money in a while. Also, 30 million is crap for their revenue (3% profit margin).

Their net income in 2009 was -$749 million
And you are really going to argue that:
- the 2nd biggest video game developer and publisher in the world (aside from Nindento)
- the corporate giant that has gobbled up and subsequently gutted and/or destroyed (or has been in the process of destroying) countless studios over the past decade (including Criterion, Maxis, DICE, Pandemic, Origin, Mythic, Bioware, Westwood, Bullfrog, et al)
- the company that publishes around 10 big budget, market dominating sports franchise rehashes every year
- the company that published the two biggest selling PC games in history, games which continue to outsell almost everything else on the market despite being released 6 and 10 years ago, respectively
is perenially losing money and needs to:
- consistently charge more than their titles are worth
- saddle most releases with restrictive and insulting DRM, often without telling paying customers it is doing so
- constantly publish bad console ports and sequels
- recycle stale IP of every kind ad infinitum
- treat their employee's worse than walmart treats theirs
Are you sure this is your position?
There might be a couple minor mistakes in the lists above, and not every game published by EA has sucked ass or stabbed their own fans/customers in the back, but you cannot dispute the overall state of Electronic Arts and the damage they have done to PC gaming in general.
