   Wonder if they would have made $310 million extra by releasing Madden 09' on the PC? Probably not. But I truly believe they screwed themselves by punishing PC gamers with limited installs on the games they did release and alleging that everyone who uses a PC is a pirate. And with their recent behavior of banning people from their games for their posts in EA's forums, I can't imagine their company doing better next quarter. And the fact that they came in $310 million less than last quarter doesn't mean the company had a loss. It simply means their profits weren't as high. Also, does the sales of Warhammer Online reflect in this past quarter? That game is doing great and generating some fine profits for sure.

   I am mad now at EA, I bought Brain Training for Dummies at Gamestop, it has serial number check, AND they force you to use the CD. Typical work arounds do not work.Is this DRM on a $20 program? No wonder they are losing.... that will make all 'dummies' angry I think. They spent $400 million on protection? That's really reallly bad![Edited by Badfinger on 2008-11-02 15:03:57]
