BF2142 includes spyware

[dtanderson]

I dont care what it does, if I'm paying for a game I dont want to see ads - period.

I don't have a problem buying/playing a game that has ads in it as long as the price of the game is lowered to since they will be making money through ad revenue. The lower the price of the game the more copies they sell, the more copies the sell, the more players that will be available to view the ads then the more money that they can make from ad revenue. I refuse to pay $50 for a game that is ad supported...... $20 and I would definitely buy it.

Dear Friends,

I have just read and signed the online petition:

"Remove Spyware/Adware from EA Games"

hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition

service, at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/bf2142ad/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might

agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider

signing yourself.

Best wishes,

Peter Keats (My signature is number 1571)

(p.s. If EA lose enough customers over this, then they may just reconsider the inclusion of spyware in the future.)

hmm could someone screenshot one of these ingame ad's because if they look aged, etc it could add to the feeling of the game but if they just normal ad's then that sucks.

[well...]

What i want to know is is this suff in the demo?!!!

:| (he says whilst uninstalling anything EA!)

on a side note the head uk office for EA is just down my road (any requests for an egging?!!!)

The ads at the start of DVD movies annoy me, as do the ones before the movie at the cinema.

Then shoot yourself. Ads about other movies dont annoy me at all because they show me similar films to the one I'm about to watch and this way Ill go see them/download them because they spark my interest.

I don't think he's talking about "movie trailers", those are ok. I think he means actual commercials before the movie, like Coke ads, Nike ads, ipod ads, etc. I dont want to see that crap when I'm paying to see the damn movie. One of the reasons I don't ever go to the movies anymore. Well, that and the excessively high prices that theaters seem to charge for a movie that may get a C at best (with the exception of the few that have been getting good reviews lately).

I haven't seen any ads in bf2142.

I don't really see what all the complaining is about, if your going to play that's what your going to do, your not gonna be watching some billboards...

I've been playing BF2142 for a week now, and wherever the ads are I too haven't even noticed em. So whatever, could care less.
