Which for EA means absolutely nothing.

Sorry, pessimistic as I may sound, but it's absolutely pathetic that months and months and months after the game is released that we finally get one of the most valuable tools we need (and even then we don't know if/when it'll arrive). EA is quite famous for neglecting it's promises and I could easily see either the SDK being very broken, very buggy or utterly useless until we the end of the year plus longer.

The mere fact that they need to patch the game first is dangerous, as that usually means the game isn't ready to be modded, which is even worse based on the fact that this is a released game. This is the Xbox 360 Heatsink disaster all over again.

What frightens me is that C&C III is will be upto 7 patches in just over 5 months.

That's... way too many, for this early in a release, especially when only 2 of them will be balance patches.

Something is seriously wrong with the game to have 7 patches in 5 months. This however is EA of course, nothing is ever ready with them.

welcome to the world of broadband and console systems that are more computer htan console.


Its not just EA, alot of companies push out software today that wouldn't have been allowed out of the office 10 years ago, because the prevelance of broadband and consoles that allow it, They can get away with pushing out subpar products and fixing them with a mltitude of patches after the fact.


Everyone is guilty of it, not just EA.


There are plenty of good reasons to hate EA, I just don't like it when people cry about EA when its not their fault or not something they exclusively do.
