I was just trying to get some XP in Battlefield 4 when I noticed Origin was down. :( 

 

What do you think?

EA seems to be back up. They're now messing around with Minecraft.

Gamers have recently developed animosity towards EA after they released several games unfinished and buggy to the market, some games were released at full price and were literally unable to be played till several weeks later after patching. Sim City was one of these. Apparently the Battlefield 4 experience was also rather unfortunate, not that I own it.

 

The fact that these hacker clowns are all over Minecraft now kinda indicates where their maturity level is at.

 

I heard a 4 year old kid talking about minecraft with his 5 year old friend today on the train. They sounded pretty enthusiastic about it.

Yeah, you're right. The problem though is that EA is not the only victim here.

Yes I know they're not hackers, but for lack of a better term...

I can think of a better term, but it's probably against a rule buried deep inside the ToS! :angry:
