Because nobody actually reads the EULA

*misses the time when Origin was a badass gaming company and not the name for EA's new sheisty service*

There's no way in hell I'm switching from Steam to Origin. That was clear before this story broke, but I thought that I might consider using it for a few select titles because I do like some of EAs games. Now they have completely lost my business.

Don't forget about Sony, they were the ones that started this mess.

fuck em both i havent bought an EA product since they starterd there BS online pass shit and i havent bought a single NEW sony product since GT5 and there sue happy bull shit fiasco against the developers/reverses that hacked there system, as well as them removing otheros....ya i didnt use t but u sure as hell paid $800 for A) the option to use it and B) I PAID FOR IT

next thing ya know sony is going to lock out PS2 BC on the BC systems....some one told me they are starting to release PS2 games on the PSN store now...i will have no part in buying ANY NEW sony nor EA product in my life time as long as this BS keeps going on

Remember, no one is forcing you to accept the contract. I see no reason for the government to get involved.

dude wow....how are they NOT forcing me to agree to the contract....i have rightfully paid for stuff on for example my PSN account.....ya know what happens if i mail that letter in saying i opt out......my PSN account gets TERMINATED along with all my rightfully paid for content on that account.....who the hell is crazy enough to NOT agree to these terms AFTER the fact that PSN has already been active for SEVERAL YEARS and has potentially spent hundreds of dollars on there store and for proper licensing......thinking "your not forced to agree" is kind of closed minded dont you think?

In the case of the Wii, it's mostly about Xenoblade Chronicles. I didn't own a SNES back in the day, so this is really the first game I can think of that only Europe got (in english) that I REALLY want. I'd rather not hack my Wii again as I've seen a pretty bad failure rate with the console. If I do have to send it to Nintendo again they might not look past my modding if it happened so recently.

google a program called mod mii its by a programmer at GBA temp i beleive the program makes wii modding fool proof even gives you a generated tutorial based on your decisions....even if you DONT want to mod your wii due to potential "risks" i HIGHLY recommend at least downloading and installing the program and run it (its a pc based app) so you can check it out and see how efficient it really has become these days...hell i use mod mii to update my mod'd wii and install all the latest IOS files and things of that nature and as long as you have priiloader and a NAND back-up you should be able to recover any semi brick problems you may encounter in the future
