EA sent me a survey, some interesting questions

[josh6079]

I got an email from EA asking me to take a short survey. I took it with the intention of there being an "additional comments" section. There's not, gee...I wonder why...

Anyways, it is all click-the-dot answers. The questions though were interesting. For instance, they first asked how long would it be before you upgraded certain components in your PC such as CPU, GPU, OS, etc. Then they ask if a new game came out and required you to upgrade all of your components, how likely would it be that you would do so just to play that game? These are just a few of their types of questions.

There was also a small amount of Physics question relating to if people have them and if you were to get one.

Things like this just make me wonder if developers are required to make the games run crappy just so we can give money to hardware companies that then give money to graphic developers. If you really think about it, Project Offset looks great and seems to play great right now, yet I bet when it gets released its going to kill all of the modern hardware at that time.

Josh I don't think there is some massive conspiracy with game developers. IMO it looks like this survey was to check the market and see what the majority of gamers have in regards to hardware and how likely they are to upgrade just for a game. If I was a huge game developer that would be good information to have. They want to make good looking games right now cause that is what sells but they also want to make the games handicap accessible (i.e. still playable by some one with a 9600).

Now it's funny that EA sent it to you after that email you sent them (if you guys all know how much Josh can flame just imagine that ...but aimed at EA). Just wondering was there a spot on the survey saying something to the regards of:
