A match made in hell, if you ask me. Wouldn't be surprised if this had been in the works for a long while now.

I just had nightmares.... imagining some Comcast employee handing me some crap controller (think Panasonic 3DO) that's been used by 14 families before me, with a fingernail, potato chip crumbs, and dead skin gunked up inbetween the buttons. Oh so awesome! Sign me up!

Can we involve Fox somehow for the hat trick? Then we'll have achieved full worst-case-scenario.

Lol it'll run on silver light. Seriously though, this is a dumb move by EA. They won't be able to control the quality of their game very well with so many variables. Controller quality, internet lag, and system independent issues all come into mind. I guess that shouldn't matter when you set the bar as low as EA does though.

At least they won't have to deal with throttling.

Another weird Idea to make it to the news. Boring stuff.

@thor222 such a long time since I last saw the words "EA" and "quality" so close to each other. Thanks for the nostalgia :-D

X1? Thats what i call the Xbox One.
And so long as this removes the FIFA / Madden / Etc games from the store front, this is great news. Dont need to see sports in vidya games. xD

This just sounds terrible. I already despise the F2P/Freemium model. The last thing I want to see is a pay-per-view model for games.

Don't forget Blizzard so they'll have a true match in hell. EA nickle and diming you to death, Blizzard's pathetic customer service, and Comcast's monopoly. True Cerberus! Not sure where to put Fox though...
