    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.

    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 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.

    ...as if I needed another reason to continue to boycott EA.

    +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.

    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.

    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.

    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
