I find it funny that people are getting worked up over this.

It's EA Sports you guys are talking about. The other day you were discussing what to do with older sports games, such is their worthlessness.

I hate how nickel and dimey game companies are getting these days. Every day there is more and more greed. Wasn't the $10 price hike, withholding stuff from the game and charging you for DLC, project $10, ect enough?

I really find the whole "we're green!" initiative to be bullshit. Just say you want to save money or something. Whenever a company claims they're trying to be green I dump engine fluids in the streams to compensate.

Eco terrorist! Personally i'd rather punch a hippie than pollute a stream. Yeah, the whole "green" movement is such a sham, but it makes people "feel good", so the idea sells like crack. People will buy a "green" product that is shipped by pollution spewing trucks, stocked in stores that use electricity generated by nuclear power, and possibly manufactured with toxic chemicals.

Oh, and they still include manuals with games?

The whole green movement pisses me off. It's not so much the 'save the planet' stuff. I can totally get behind clean renewable energy. Only a complete fucking moron would be against clean renewable energy. It's the whole recycling shit that pisses me off. It costs more energy to recycle than it saves.

I'm not surprised as I have noticed for awhile that my game manuals have been getting smaller and smaller or have no color in them.

Anyone remember when black and white manuals on cheap paper were a cost-cutting measure just for budget releases and whatnot, and companies didn't make up crap about how it was being done to be more 'green'?

Oh and eco-cases

fuck those
