Is MEA the worst failure EA experienced?

And I’m sure you’re smarter than actually believing your exaggerated claim that Andromeda has the worst single player plot in any game ever (Custer’s Revenge was a thing, after all), or that product quality is not determined by prices listed on an online shopping service (GoldenEye 007 is $18CDN only a third the original retail price, guess that game sucks).  But this thread exists.

Dafuk do these people think what kind of signal these types of messages send to ME fans. It's quite beyond me, frankly....

One game is over fifteen years old, the other is 7 months old.

I didn`t intend to claim anything. It`s just personal opinion and preference when I don`t like games with incomplete plot such as MEA and Rage. I much rather play a game with really stupid story over something that is incomplete. It`s that simple. 

Product quality is not determined by its price alone, but the quality of video game is often reflected by how fast its price drops. You sound a bit too emotional. I am not sure why. 

If you are trying to say that a video game`s price dropping from $60 to $10 in less than 7 months is something not unusual.. just go ahead and say that. 
I don`t think I tried to claim anything or make my opinion into fact. 

Lol.
I’m great!  How are you?  

Sure, I get that. What I'm always a bit baffled about, is how it seems people in the video game industry can collude between games and patrons - and especially venting such on social media - without getting into any contractual anti-competition issues...

Gaider gone. Laidlaw gone.

Is "super" Mac still hanging on?

Well if you ever wanna chamge that just let me know.  

Thx again for the lingo.

Anyway, I found a case that is sort of in line with what I mean. Some years ago, a dancing teacher quit with his employer and started for himself. He had a noncompete clause for the town in question and a 'non-sollicitation' clause (not sure on the term) which stated he could not get into contact with ex-pupils or the former dancing school's business relation.

When the former employee found out the teacher had been chatting with the aforementioned parties on social media, he took the case to court, based the non-sollicitation clause.

In this case the former employer lost, btw: the judge ruled that the former employee would only have been in violation of his non-sollicitation clause, had he explicitly bantered his former employer or asked ex-pupils to enlist with him in those chats and there wasn't any proof for that.

So, yeah, perhaps I'm thinking a bit too strict with regard to these clauses. On the other hand, I had expected such clauses to be much more strict with large video game companies...

Luckily there are still older game classics without online requirements we can play again and again. At least if you're on PC - keeping a shitload of old-generation consoles and their games in the attic is more annoying I suppose.

Pretty much the same in the United States. People have a constitutional right to earn a livelihood, so noncompetes have to be very, very limited in geographic and temporal scope to be enforceable.
