surprisingly many people have played aom at one point. It's just that a whole lot have never bothered to play it online or play it for much longer than the campaign.

Yeah it sold really well, breaking the 1 million mark in just the first few months. I have no idea what the final sales numbers are, but I remember aomh was running releases where aom was in the top 10 pc sales for years.

Its a shame ES really bungled up the handling of the competitive online community so badly, because it had the footprint to compete with wc3.

It was kind of sad to sit there and talk to the guy from the biggest gaming company about the game that me and a few hundred more still played in the last years cuz you know, AoM is such a great game and it doesnt get 1/10 of the attention that their games get in 1 week.

XpT_MasterOfFreedom: I will be testing mobile/tablet games. Which may seem stupid, but that is the only chance I get to test an EA game that I actually enjoy (i.e. Plants vs Zombies, Zuma, etc.) :lol:

That's pretty cool Tim, congrats! Will you have to relocate to a new location?

Nope. I live 3 minutes away from the subway station at the Government, and the EA building is adjacent to another subway station on the same line.

What a coincidence as talking about EA's PR department with chicks yesterday. Such a shame they cancelled the free to play Command and Conquer game because of some retarded alpha testers who demanded a campaign.

Mobile games are the future though, they take considerable less resources to develop and have perfect distribution. On top of that you can port successful games to pc (plants vs zombies) and vice versa (fifa). On top of that, touch-based games are still at the start of their journey, a lot can still be improved upon. I deleted fifa for iPad 10 minutes after trying if for the first time.

I'm a huge plants vs zombies addict though. I was seriously considering getting it for pc on the steam sale.
