Please stop server monopoly?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 5:12 am

Why is it that nowadays servers are sold to ONE BLOODY COMPANY and then they rent them out for a ridiculous profit? I mean i understand everyone is wanting to make money - but seriously EA - because i am almost certain this is EA deal completely bypassing Crytek.

Why are all the "official" servers basically monopolized? I thought that was AGAINST THE LAW!

Anyone know the real reason games are coming out basically having one server provider?

Crysis 2 beats the snot out of Lag Ops in terms of server providers, it could be better, but it could be a lot worse.

C2 has a very poor variety of server provides... Net4players is mediocre at best

I pretty sure EA may have strict QOS requirements that most SPs cannot provide.

Yip in todays day and age we seem to pay more for less. Crytek, the one company I thought wouldn't settle for anything less than best settled for a console mindset (I smell a corporate rats perhaps). I am also trying to find out why we don't have LAN but the leaked version apparantly does? Maybe I should forget that I paid for this game and get that version because it seems that those guys are having a more PC experience than we are having?!
