This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I've stopped buying EA games when they turned Battlefield 2 into a pay-to-win game back in the mid-2000's. But I remember distinctly how bad EA was with those stupid unskippable splash screens. My guess is that they've never improved, from what I can see. What's the point of those anyway, other than annoy your players and make them hate your company?
Battlefield Play-for-Free. Horribly cut down and butchered version of a great game.
It was my first Battlefield game and I had so much fun with it
I'm talking about the 2005 game.
Pirated the shit out of it. Had great time - no pay to win mechanics in the pirated version
Was that battlefield 2, or battlefield 2, the second 2?
The 2005 game. I had paid full price for the game and enjoyed it for a while. Then they released the expansion pack BF2:SF. The players who owned that expansion pack had access to more powerful weapons which they could use online against players who didn't have that pack. Essentially turning a paid game into a "pay to win" format. I since then haven't given EA a penny.
Huh. I guess I got the pack with both but was always such a casual player I never even noticed. I remember the games having two separate sets of servers.
