Dead Space 3 Resource Exploit "Not a Glitch", Says EA

[xdiesp]

I can almost picture Marty McFly in the future, as his dumb son asks him "dad, my Mega Nintendo asks me for money if I want to keep playing, would you lend me your credit card please?".

I can't decide if this was the honest response, or if for once they took the gracious out and realised how bad they would look for penalising players that did this (or how impractical it would be to try) and just came up with a "uhh, yeah.. of course we meant it to be like that! *nervous laugh*" statement.

It's the latter for sure. There's nothing they can do to fix it, because anyone with a launch copy of the game can just refuse to download any patch that would fix it and keep using the exploit. I'd say they were taking the "gracious" way out too, but come on, it's so obvious that the glitch has EA by the balls that it's not gracious at all. We knew they were fucked when this glitch was found and they knew it too. There's no other move on the board for them here.

I'm still wondering how many people quietly got fired over this, though.
