Hope to see you in Los Santos some day

EA are in a spot of legal trouble with regards to the BF4 problems - with any luck EA will lose and hopefully shake them out of their complacency and serve as a warning. It should be noted that despite the grumblings on the official forums, its not the gamers taking the action, but accountants...

Me too! Would be great to hook up with as many of you guys online in GTAV as possible.

Now I recall some sort of trouble brewing but had no idea it would come from this source... weird. What's the matter, did the accountants not get enough money or something?

They are regarding it as "fraud-inflated prices" as they EA mention they had problems...

Apparently it hasn't been selling to well either, which isn't surprising, especially with all the problems that BF3 initially had...

Ooh, you're right. Just found this.

Warning (cute alert): EA vs investors. To be fair, I don't think the bugs are deal breakers. Maybe for consoles players if they're used to things just working right away but PC guys are used to it.

As I see it, EA are saying they're holding back the release schedule of future DLC so they can focus on fixing the many existing bugs like the sound drop outs. Yes, all the bugs have been a right mess but serious stuff like crashing is quite rare in my experience. It is crazy so many bugs still exist but why do they need to halt their DLC schedule? Can't they just spend more money hiring more programmers to fix things?

Imagine a world where software and media companies actually gave you your money back for stuff you didn't like or which crashed on you, failed to impress etc. We'd all be rich overnight! And they would be too scared to release buggy games...

Well, anyway. Happy Winter Solstice Toady dude. Hope you have a nice holiday period this Xmas. It's really good viewing by the way. Nice one Swanny! You clever wizard you!

It appears the XBox versions have been so serious that Microsoft have been granting refunds - much like the cricket game...

It is something that all publishers should do if a required stability threshold isn't reached - game stability over that last year or so does seem to be getting worse, which isn't good...

Happy Christmas to you too! I hoped to managed to see this before the year is out,

Was it Xbone or 360 or both? I'd be less surprised if it was just the 360...

Yeah, I watched that Dr Who special. I don't normally watch Dr Who. First time really. Saw Brian Cox's Dr Who thingy too, which was quite good. Couldn't understand him though - he's too smart and I'm too thick.

Have a good one mate.
