I don't buy into the whole "brand loyalty" mentality that the boomers were dedicated to, but EA does have a blanket-ban on my shopping list. I can't remember the last thing I bought that was EA. Mass Effect 2 was probably the last thing I bought on purpose. Some other things came in bundles. I've seen that Dead Space 3 is now on "Steam". In reality it's a proxy purchase through Origin apparently.
Eh-hem; FFXIIZA is still expensive even with the 50% discount. The port was handled so awkwardly that SquEnix have probably pushed it to the side hoping people forget the state it's in. After hacked license boards were "patched" (they weren't) and running like a yam on my laptop I gave up on it too. I guess IX is still the price it is because it's one of the most recent re-releases.
So far I've picked up Tales of Vesperia and Darksiders III Deluxe (which is cheaper if you buy it in the bundle with the other Darksiders stuff). Considering other things too. Maybe FFVIII (I don't actually own my original copy any more
). Not taking recommendations because my backlog is now ~6 months long.
