Don't play Battlefield 4.

Boycott EA. They are a terrible company.

Video games are a plot by the secret rulers of Earth to make the hominid population mindlessly compliant...

No, that would be the paintings on the walls Horg did, you see the way Brig and Glyn and the others just stare at it for hours with the firelight flickering on it, making up little communal stories about the hunt, when they could be doing something more socially useful like clearing the mammoth bones from the front of the cave.

No that would be that reading and writing thing the kids are all being taught. In my day we ploughed the fields in the morning had starvation for lunch and then were whipped by the King's men all afternoon shoving big stones around. Now they just sit and stare blankly at parchment with squiggles on it and then come back and tell you all this stuff they didn't know before. It's a conspiracy!

Rubbish! The real conspiracy is television. Whole families slack jawed and silent being spoon-fed their next purchases by big business.

A stick with some shiny rattling metal and a slice of bread with jam on it and you'll have compliance, our artificial paradises tend to be an escape from that.

Battlefield 4 is the first game I'm getting and I intend pumping serious amounts of hours into it like I've done and am still doing with Battlefield 3.

I hope you know that EA's program "Origin" has complete access to your computer, so anything you have, programs installed, saved passwords, banking info, any files, etc. they can get anytime they want to, and mostly already have, especially your meta data.
