PBBans

Quote

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting for them to choose PB for a game like APB.

It does looks like a good game, but the subscription based part will make me skip this one.

Any chances of this getting streaming or no MMO streaming?

I highly doubt that this game will be allowed to stream. But, I could be wrong.

EB has two others that have PB, but we do not allow to stream:

Need For Speed Pro-Street

Need For Speed Undercover

Ya I'd presume it would be hard considering no one can touch the server.

It won't be added. Just like the Need for Speed series and BF Heroes.

Just an FYI to everyone who hasn't played the Beta, game is a blast.

definately a cool game to play bt monthly subscription isnt cool

Last week when I looked you had two options.

Either purchase X hours, or purchase monthly access to the game - guess it depends on how much you play it?

June 29 to September 16 = 2 months and 17 days lifespan.

Ouch.

Well, that was the fastest life span of a game I have ever seen. Makes you wonder what other games will follow the same path.

Hoping Black Ops but that won't happen

they pretty much have the 12 month thing down....well at least making money off it for 12 months

Website is also down; it really is a complete shutdown on the mark.

ok, so what were the numbers on this?

i mean did it just not sell or was it the old grab the loot and run bit?

Pretty good article HERE.

Looks like a culmination of bad planning / management to me.

Just for anyone who hasn't heard.

EA are offering to replace All Points Bulletin with any released game in the EA Store via the EA Download Manager.

To claim you need to contact them via Live Chat http://support.ea.com/chat and ask for a replacement game for All Points Bulletin. You'll need Java installed as they'll want to view your screen with an email receipt or your Steam Purchase history proving that you brought the game.

If that's not possible I'm sure the next thing would be a screenshot via support ticket, but that process may take slightly longer. So replace your dead weight with a new game

Note: There will be no refunds, just a replacement game and if you attempt to push them for a pre-ordered game they have been known to threaten to retract the offer.
