EA Changes Mind on Battlefield 1943 Giveaway
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
Obviously they're only giving one day for the download so that only the people that actually care about this download it. The rest of the people that bought BF3 on the PS3, but don't care about 1943, are gonna be left in the dark and aren't going to redeem their vouchers.
This way, EA appeases the people threatening to sue them, but at the lowest cost - Most likely, only the people that are suing them will have the knowledge required to download the game, while the rest of the people still don't get it. They're still not giving all BF3 owners on the PS3 their rightful copies of 1943.
They should keep suing them.

Aw... It's heartwarming to know that all it takes to get a big corporation like EA to do the right thing is to threaten a fucking lawsuit.
Next time someone decides to get it in their heads that anyone is "whining" about the Origin service, this might make a good point of reference.

amazing. EA really knows how to save money. i hope they still get sued that this will go deep in their pockets.
seriously, they strongly remind me of this guy from the comedy show "open all hours".

maybe this show was a inspiration for EA to be like this.

Lol.
It only took the threat of litigation and all the bad PR that entails to get them to make good on a promise.
Bravo EA!

The only problem I see here is that people bought Battlefield 3 on the PS3 instead of the PC.
I'm kidding (mostly). Yeah, EA are dicks, it'ss only a matter of time until they get their asses sued off, which may be happening now cuz of the 1 day window of time they're giving to get the vouchers.

This is just lip service to the actual deal and making the event known so that you can only get it 1 region for one day is ludicrous and I'm sure many people will miss out on the game just because they didn't know about this as not everyone follows Gaming News. Although if this was a promise that EA would do this on someone else's behalf EA should have made clear a long time ago that they were not doing this deal as if that is the case they've really left themselves open for this.
That is the most quarter assed dealing I've seen in a long time.

And how convenient it would be if on that one day per region if the Battlefield 1943 downloads ran into an "err-or." OOps! Too bad, kids, better luck next time in NEVERLAND! Is EA really going to be this scummy, really? Hell, are they afraid that people will be playing their free BF1943 over their $60 Call of Duty grudge match contender?
I think that the day after that Battlefield 3 players download their copies of BF1943, they consider trying to return Battlefield 3 and demanding their money back because it's "faulty." It's the 21st Century; one day to download per region is just being an outright dick for the hell of it.
