Fucking EA

Post by Trolldor » Wed Oct 07, 2009 5:29 am

Just bought Dead Space for PC but I can't fucking validate it because of the firewall...

WHY THE FUCK DO I NEED A SERIAL KEY IF I HAVE TO AUTHENTICATE IT ONLINE ANYWAY!?

Would anyone be willing to download a crack for me? (Can't, torrets are blocked as well)
Shit bullocks that I should spend 80 bucks on this game and I can't even play it.

I'm assuming you don't have access to the firewall settings?

Because EA doesn't give a shit about gamers. It's all $$$

Won't work. Not in the long run anyway.

Return it? Dead Space is nothing special anyway.

All I need is one file, paul.dll. I already have a cd and a goddamn cd-key.
May as well return it tomorrow and look for something else to play... something that doesn't fucking require online validation.

Also, the reason I bought dead space is because I wanted to play something different instead of the usual RTS or D2 clones... and I have pretty much everything else..

In fact, fuck it, I may as well return it today.

Holy fuck, now I'm trying to uninstall it and it's taking fucking forever.

They didn't even include an uninstall with the program like EVERY OTHER FUCKING GAME IN THE UNIVERSE does.

Cunts.

If you're gonna pay close to $100 for a game, stick with the best developers:

-Blizzard....no wait they are going to make future games online dependant.
-Valve...no wait you have to have steam.
-Relic...hang on they changed already.

Guess offline gamers are screwed.

It's funny, while the movie and music industries bitch and gripe about piracy, the game industry brings down the fist.

It doesn't even work properly. People have still cracked every single game that's had this 'Online authentication' bullshit. All it does is limit the amount of times you can install it.

Which, considering I have gone through four computers in four years, is a pretty stupid thing to limit anyway. (I'm looking at you, iPod. :lay: )

Moment of hilarity:
The very same thing which they attempt to use as copyright protection (and fail at) is the very same thing which makes it unreturnable because there's no way to check if the registration's still valid for someone else to use.
