Sounds like to me EA has absolutely no interest in getting their games to run
under vista like some other developers. "Oh, the game was developed before
vista came out". Sure it was and thats understandable but I am tired of that
excuse because the games can be fixed. How hard is it to get a game to work?
Vista is not that much different from XP and if it ran on XP it should on
vista. period. You would think a big company such as EA would at least look
into it, especially their more popular titles such as BF1942. Alot of
developers and publishers really need to get on the ball especially with
newer titles. Really, its not microsoft that will lose the sales here, it
will be the game developers. Hopefully the gaming community will get some
positive answers soon and not the classic excuse one. Alot of gamers are
going to vista because of the upcoming DX10 and they are certainly going to
want to run the older games too.
