If one of these things is flying over YOUR PROPERTY are you allowed to blast it out of the sky?
Or will doing so bring the wrath of the justice department upon you until you are either bankrupt, in jail, or worse.
It seems like surveillance state / police state is becoming a reality.
Thank-you. I hate when EA lovers try to rewrite history.
No-one said it was a conspiracy. SimCity was just the tipping point.
EA has made MANY terrible decisions over the past 5 years. No conspiracy
Madden continued to be a strong NFL sports franchise because there's no other official NFL games anymore
NO
Riccitiello's 10-point plan to Success
1. Buy Franchise
2. Water Down Experience for Casual Players
3. Add Online
4. Add Co-op
5. Add Gritty Camera Filters
6. Overwork Developers
7. Pretend Game is Finished
8. Add DLC / Make Old Features New by Converting Them to DLC
9. Pay for Good Reviews
10. Hype the Fuck Out of The Game
Ultimately, EA's problem with SimCity was that they had too many paying customers.
Uh no. Their shares have been at sitting at all time lows since 2008 and John Riccitiello with whom they brought in to fix things has shit the bed. There is more bad news on the revenue front coming soon (as the press release indicates).
Riccitiello destroyed the NFL franchise, killed almost every other big name game (Command and Conquer, Mass Effect), bet the bank on Spore and lost, and oversaw the launch of a bug-plagued online service that is now shutting down more old games that people purchased than launching new ones.
SimCity was the tipping point.
Remember, EA was recently ranked as the Worst Company in America. Gamers have been complaining about EA way before SimCity. Like when EA negotiated an exclusive rights deal on all NFL games and then churned out the worst NFL games for years and years to come. They have ruined many, many franchises.

"The Origin platform allows malicious users to exploit local vulnerabilities or features by abusing the Origin URI handling mechanism," ReVuln researchers Donato Ferrante and Luigi Auriemma wrote in a paper accompanying last week's demonstration. "In other words, an attacker can craft a malicious Internet link to execute malicious code remotely on [a] victim's system, which has Origin installed.
The F35 would probably have more support if it was called a Super-Duper-Marine Spitfire for sure
Alternatively you can build your own Spitfire for about $395,000 today Link
For that price our military could purchase 1,500 of them for the same price as the lifetime cost of ONE F35 ($600 Million)
Imagine if you were the lone pilot of an F35 and 1,500 Spitfires came down on you
A force multiplier against who?
Combat against who?
I'm sure most Canadians (myself included) are all for modernizing the military
Yes this is the question that the Harper Government has failed to answer!!! I'd love to hear the reasoning behind why the Canadian Military specifically needs F35's.
From a Canadian perspective the big advantages of going with the Super Hornet is backwards compatibility (even more-so than the lower price).
- The Super Hornet is compatible with the current RCAF in-air refuelling technology
- The Super Hornet technology is an upgrade to what we already have - our techs are compatible / familiar with it
- The Super Hornet does not require longer runways for landing - our remote arctic runways are compatible
- The Super Hornet has landing gear better suited for icy runways - our weather is compatible
It's not as stealthy but we are a defensive military.
- The Super Hornet is also half the price.
The Harper Government has a hard-on for the F35 and the Canadian public really has no idea WHY.
