JimboUK Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 This is exactly why Sony had problems with Anonymous. It is ludicrous to think that after you buy a product that the company still owns it. They only own the rights. If I wanted to convert my PS3 to a stove, I bought the thing, it is mine and I have every right. As long as I am not changing it to a stove to make money off of it everything should be good. So if I buy ME3, that is my game. If I want to make more armors, retexture it to higher quality and even more quests to the single player campaign I should have every right as long as I'm not selling the material. I love mass effect games, I love dragon age. I have already made the decision to boycott EA and origin as I have done the same thing to Wal Mart. The consumers have the true power if the consumers would work together. These big companies consumed with corporate greed need to have the consumers let them know they have the power and we will not loose our rights by buying their products. This is the same effect of buying a PC from HP, DELL or any other company and being told you cannot add more hardware to it and only download their software. (I build my own PC's, that is just to make a point.) This^^^ Imagine buying a Ford, changing the radio, putting better wheels on only to have someone from Ford come around your house and take the keys off you for changing "their" car. Using multiplayer as an excuse is pathetic, how many mutliplayer games also have modding? I could reel off a long list of shooters that had modding and multiplayer, with proper cheat detection modding shouldn't be a problem. As for EA themselves, if this carries on they'll soon be a target themselves... http://i.imgur.com/It5Ov.jpg This is where short term greed leads in the end.

To hell with Thomas Abram, he's a jerk. I have more money in my family than EA has in total. I'd love to take them to court for banning me from a game I bought and own.

DrCrowTGamer15 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Did the supreme court rule way back in the day that gamers have the right to mod their games for their own use? I think the case involved Nintendo suing the makers of Game Genie, if so, how does EA have a leg to stand on with this? It's already been decided. Then again I guess when you are as big as EA you can do whatever you want and the law doesn't apply to you. I bet the CEO of EA games could run into a second grade class room and shoot every child in the class and not only would he not be charged with a crime, but he would be given a billion dollar reward by the government for being so brave. This country is run by the rich for the rich and there is no real rule of law and no rich person ever gets charged with any crime. The rest of us get the book thrown at us if we break one letter of the law, but there is no law for companies like EA, and they don't have to respect anyone's basic rights. I am so sick of this broken, garbage pile of a system we live under. It is rotten to the core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
