    They’re both aligned on fucking over people for profit.

    EA has no values, because they're a soulless, shit hole company, so they're not lying (this time), I guess.

  • source

    I believe that. EA didn't have values before and will continue to not have them now.

    It's fitting that EA now belongs to a despotic regime and the spoiled son-in-law of a despot. It couldn't be more telling.

    I won't be buying anything from them anymore.

    So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.

    They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.

    So, just the same soulless cash grabs as usual going forward?

    Soulless cash grab with a healthy veneer of jingoism and plenty of toxic masculinity.

    You'll play your Muscle Man Beats Up The Evil Foreigners game, you'll pay top dollar for it, and if you're lucky you'll get a loot box with a Trump/MBS NFT in it.

    Who need satire at this point?

  • So you’ll continue being a money sucking ghoul who infects my hobby with more and more micro transactions for things that should have been shipped with the game in the first place?

    Phew, I was worried there for a sec I might have to credit SA or a fucking Kushner for fixing one of the shittiest publishers in gaming, nice to know they can remain on “pirate if it looks good” list.

  • [–] 14 points 1 year ago

    That’s easy when you don’t have any values.

  • source
  • [–] 14 points 1 year ago (1 child)

    Thats not a good sign. I'm choosing to take that as EAs values were already so bad that nothing is going to change after being taken over by a trump Saudi investment firm.

    Not gonna lie, I was pretty stoked for Battlefield 6. Haven't played one since 3 and all my friends were gonna get it. Guess I'll just go fuck myself and keeping playing Overwatch or something.

    I was stoked for BF6 until it wanted me to enable Secure Boot and install rootkit anti-cheat. Now with the Saudis and Jared Kushner in charge installing a rootkit to play a game is an even worse idea. Maybe if I only used the computer for gaming.

    I played the beta weekends. I can assure you anything fun will be nerfed, because all the fun stuff was what the sweaty basement boys were complaining about the most. You're not going to miss out on much of the final product.

    I played it too and I 100% agree. However, I feel like it's always a good thing to keep in mind that the best time to play an online shooter is when it first comes out. That way you get to at least have fun before all the casual people move on to other games and the sweaty people are the only ones left. My friends convinced me to try Fortnite just a couple years ago and all that happened was I got stomped every match and was like "this is fun for you guys?" I've been playing Overwatch since release and it's basically impossible to get a match I'd consider "fun," so to speak. I just wanted to get in on the fun for Battlefield before it turned into all sweats. Now I'd prefer to just avoid it all together.

    As an enthusiastic but inept gamer with overactive sweat glands, I object to being lumped in with the overcompetitive fun killers! 😁

    Tbf though, I don't even play shooters in the first place. Unless you (wrongly) count the modern Fallout games, like some do.

    I've been hooked on The Finals for my destruction shooter fix, since the development team (Embark Studios) is mostly composed of ex-DICE employees. Their upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.

    Edit: typo fix

    look at the bright side. EA couldn't get any worse anyway. If it dies because of this then this event might be seen as a boon to humanity.

    Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.

    What he means is that they will still be a pos company that only cares about the bottom line and COULD NOT care less about the end user. Exactly the same.

    Hopefully this shreds EA and their IPs to bits and we finally get some new and original ideas from the indie studios that pop up from the ruins.

    "We value taking advantage of young children with lootboxes, pay to win, loads of DLC's to make games have actual content (still shit) and to find new ways to extort kids out of even more money than we have done so far. We believe our new leadership consisting of an extremist genocide supporting asshole and a regime where stoning women is normal won't change our values but would only support them."
