Gaming sites Destructoid and Sarcastic Gamer are joining forces, against the common foe of all gamer kind, EA and their nefarious plot to screw gamers everywhere. You may be wondering what exactly EA have done, well to put it simply EA in their recent game Battlefield: Bad Company have only put half the guns in the online mode, forcing users to buy a key which will unlock the rest. This is certainly going to lead to unbalanced play and a slap in the faces of gamers everywhere. Be warned play Bad Company online at your own risk

Jim Sterling has acknowledged our open letter, and says he will take this issue directly to the folks at EA when he meets with them next week.

We are definitely aware of Battlefield’s proposed DLC, and promise to let out an almighty “WTF?” when Destructoid and EA next meet. We will most definitely share the concerns of our fellow gamers with Electronic Arts and do what we can to get to the bottom of this possibly nefarious scheme. Until then, let it be known that the notorious Destructoid community has now been made aware of Sarcastic Gamer’s boycott and now know what to do if they disagree with EA’s plans … so FOR THE LOVE OF GOD STOP SPAMMING OUR TIPS LINE!

As you wish Jim.

    Well i can see why they would be against EA for what they've done but i don't see the need to team up with others to show how much your against it. I guess i would have to say i favor them though.

    EA really do like squeezing money out of gamers. I was playing Need For Speed: Carbon at a friend's house and noticed you can actually spend Microsoft Points on cars if you can't be bothered to upgrade them! So now you've got to pay to input cheats? It's exactly the same stunt they pulled with The Godfather.

    Micro-transactions suck.
