LOL...who's EA these days????
post
Excellent tool for propaganda...
how the fuck is this indie game dev discussion news and promotions?
I guess EA can get worse. Huh.
It's in the game
It's honestly fascinating
Good thing I'm already boycotting EA, because installing ring-0 "anticheat" Saudi software on a windows PC is pants on head stupid.
Where is the bottom? How the fuck did EA get worse? This some dark magic, devide by zero, end of days level shift.
There is no bottom. They will always find new depths to sink to.
The bottom comes when the sports game addicts run out of money and stop buying the same $70-$80 games every year before unloading hundreds into paid DLC that is non-transferable between the yearly versions (which have almost zero practical changes aside from roster updates and in-game ads/branding).
But a few decades have proven they are quite a resilient cohort and tough to crack.
Yeah they got some good deals on NFS franchise, but then I though "wait this guys are absolute trash, I need an external client and game might not be even that good".
So Fuck EA, I will sail the high seas if I ever wanna play one of their games.
A match made in heaven.
Had to do a report in buad on EA. Their entire business model is exactly 1 shade lighter than Martin Shkreli's
A sad day for Mass Effect. To think that, if the next installment is great, money goes to the butcher prince and nepotism incarnate. I really hope Kushner gets tried and convicted as as a traitor.
+1 to the dark horses inside EA who saw this coming and open sourced some of their classics before this, so the robber barrons couldn’t gate keep them.
what was open sourced?
Man I wish they open sourced some more stuff, like their older NFS games...
But no joke, EA's open source stuff is really nice and one of the few genuinely good things about them. EASTL and related stuff is genuinely useful for game developers.
Let me just add that to the pile of reasons to hate on EA. Yeah... The pile is pretty big, EA has been hateable for quite a long time.
I will continue not buying EA games. It's a shame they have some interesting franchises inside their corpse pile, but there's always other games and entertainments.
i havent pirated a game in over 35 or 40 years. i did in the 80s when i had no money but in my adult life i bought. i had the money. there is no way i am giving this cohort money
In this hypothetical you'd have to want to play an EA game
The Star Wars Jedi games they did were fun. If they ever make another one of those, I'll steal that!
Anything connected to that wanne-be king can go get f'd.
Jared is owned by Donald who is in turn owned by the Saudis, so that makes EA 100% property of KSA
It is an achievement for a video games company to play in the league of worst companies when the competition are AI grifters, arms producers and legal opioid producers. Finally there is an ownership structure to match.
I've haven't bought an ea game since battlefield 1.
Maybe they'll start selling off IPs and we'll see some good shit once again form more competent games studios.
I loved getting free games from them, but when this was first announced it was just too goddamn much. I will not use a game platform owned by fucking Saudi Arabia
Just to make sure, this affects Battlefront 2 as well?
I don't giveafuuuuuuck.
And yet you cared enough to comment.
Yes. You gamers whine about shitty practices publishers do, just to buy the game day one. Maybe my comment encourages someone to not buy next storefront wrapped in a grindy fame.
I don't understand capitalists society complaining when someone buy their products.
