Capcom. killing Megaman and releasing MvC3 three times in one year. And the new DMC looks bad. And not bring Monster Hunter across seas. And just generally continuing to fuck up all things Resident Evil.

Really Capcom can just die now.

On a personal level, it would have to be the announcement of Brothers in Arms: Furious 4.
Fuck you, Randy Pitchford. Fuck you, Gearbox. Fuck you, Ubisoft. Way to shit all over the hopes of fans of the series. You've managed to replace what was respect with unadulterated loathing in just over three minutes. That's damn impressive, in a dickhead sort of way. I hope you're happy, dickheads.

I usually don't resort to such language, but I feel it addresses my dissatisfaction in the most adequate and direct way possible (plus I'm still mad about it).

In general though, it would probably be the "always online" DRM. If I bought a single player game for the PC, the last thing I want is to be punished if my roommate accidentally kicks out the modem chord.
Pitchford says the company will be getting back to the World War II era with the original story and characters. I Read it in the E3 coverage for this game in Game Informer.

They are just using the old brand to boost the interest in title. It was said that normal BiA is also in development.

Valve's dipshit move of pulling games off Steam if they aren't allowed to sell the DLC directly.

I won't add Valve's removal of EA games, as it is quite obvious that EA did it on purpose to get their game exclusively on Origin.
So how come gamersgate, d2d and impulse still sell them?

OT: I voted for the Always-On DRM, though before it was just Ubisoft's (as specified in the poll), Blizz is now also getting in on the action. No level of bullshit this year can equal that in my opinion.

Valve insist you update your game (and buy new content) Via the Steam client and the Steam client only, whether or not it's a Valve game.
Sorry Spade, not true. I've done it in the past few months.
This does seem to be the case for new games on the service. Dragon Age 2 and Crysis 2 were both removed immediately after offering their first significant DLC pack. That's what EA has said, and Valve have not denied it, or supplied a different explanation.

Two points do make a line..

you have GOT to be shitting me with that video!
seriously, this is a prank, right? gearbox must be using a different calendar and they think it's april fools day...

I also agree with the DRM thing. that needs to die. I'd almost say Ubisoft has to, but they made PoP and Assassin's creed, so I'll have to let them live. weird that they claimed it was a success (ok, maybe not weird because really, how often do you hear a videogame company say 'we fucked up, sorry 'bout that) when it's not even possible to measure how much a game is pirated...

EA's Origin service is much more inconvenient compared to being dick-ish.

The Call Of Duty Elite service is just a more complex stat-tracker service meant for those that take the game very seriously. Also, you get any future mappacks for free if you have a subscription.

While I agree that online passes are over-priced ($10 for multiplayer? Really?), I see the reason why they exist.

Capcom cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 because they didn't see enough interest in the title. Also, they were trying to make a game in a series that has never sold well enough to justify a million-dollar budget. While I still say that Capcom should have released the planned "Demo Version" of the game for the 3DS e-shop, I still see why they cancelled the game. Also, if you were expecting Capcom to NOT whore out their fighting game franchises, where were you the past two decades? It sounds like a nice vacation spot.

Blizzard's in-game auction houses can be completely ignored if the player wants to. Also, if you're talking about the "Use real money to buy fictional items!" deal, it's just another way of business that doesn't affect you unless you decide that you want it to affect you.

So yes, I'm going to hate Ubisoft's always-online DRM. Seriously, screw you Ubisoft.

How about Capcom releasing their fighting games, and re-releasing it a few months later with more characters and stages, instead of offering it as DLC. That's a pretty bad d*** move to me.

EA probably wanted their games off o Steam anyway with Origin coming out.

did you see the chart i put up in the last page? MML3 was the straw on the camels back(mine though was the refusal to localize AAI2 because AAI1 didnt sell because they didnt advertise and only made 50 copies of the game). plus the announcement of UMVC3 5 months after the regular release and not reimbursing the people who bought the original with a patch and dlc for the new stuff? then saying megaman isnt going to be in it(and the day after MML3 cancellation) because he wasnt voted enough? (plus adding a MML stage was like twisting a salt coated knife in a wound). THEN saying after they were proved wrong as he was the most popular choice that the fans arent entitled enough to decide on who should be in the game
