Withywarlock Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) The only full game promotion I can think of was when Pizza Hut attached Playstation One games to certain pizza deals back in the late 90s. My dad bought a pizza he didn't really fancy just so I could get the game, and I don't like pizza, so it was nice to come back with several complete games in cheap jewel cases. Other than that, most recently I've eaten Super Noodles for Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War in-game stuff that I never used, but the double XP was appreciated.

At least the games were worth the pizza 🍕 buys. I do enjoy eating pizza, unless it's not made with grilled chicken and cheese, then I'm not interested.

Head_Hunter Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Lol, I simply hope EA will come here and see what users are talking about them and try to act according to what gamers desire even if it's completing their 60% wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that they know that more than you know because they have their public relations teams getting them feedbacks on gamers opinion their games.

There is a possibility that they have their spies on all gaming forums because they know very well it's a good place to get gamers feedbacks on their games.

I am believing, they got spies and they can simply send them to some popular forums to spygate and see what gamers are saying about them. But si de they are getting all this feedback, they ought to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very sure that they get a lot of feedback on their official pages but they don't do anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I don't really think that EA cares about all the negative feedback they have been getting for years, otherwise they would have fixed a lot of things about their games by now.

Heatman Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 It's definitely a pattern for them when it comes to how they have destroyed some of their game's series. There are so many of them in the bin now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Dungeon Keeper is one game that EA ended up killing off and making to disappear. Initially developed by Bullfrog Productions and after the 2 series and at the 3rd series, it got messed up and dumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think that, but knowing now what it was like, it took so many points to even have a chance of winning anything. The fact that you only got like 1 or 2 points per packet wasn't reassuring either. You needed to drink a ton of kool-aid to get the points you wanted, and I drank a lot as a kid lol.

Received nothing. Reminds me of the time my dad and I found a winning lifesaver in a car giveaway. We sent it in and they sent us back a copy of Who Wants to be a Millionaire on PC. We idiotically didn't snap any photos of the lifesaver, but I'm pretty sure we had one that showed the actual car, which was needed to win. My dad was pissed. But, thinking back, it probably wasn't bad, because he'd be stuck with a decent tax bill I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking as a kid was something that I was very familiar with because my father owned a pub and I used to steal a lot of his drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually played only the first release of Dungeon Keeper and it was a very made game. It was sad getting to see what EA did to the game afterwards.
