Right…
EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.
“Our values have always been terrible. Expect no change.”
Even if true not particularly encouraging
They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.
Can’t change what doesn’t exist
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.
funny how I have not bought any of their games for a long time now, since it’s mostly slop anyways nowadays
That’s true, but now it’s also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.
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.
Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered… yet.
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’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
Finals has superior destruction anyways.
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.
This is what I just saw on my thread:
Who need satire at this point?
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.
I’m choosing to read it as “we only bought it to get kernel-level access to millions of computers. Don’t worry about why we want that.”
Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.
After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!
More like: Damn, there’s another level of hell?
Well there was just some base level of hope in the back of some people’s minds that one day they might get their shit together and now that hope is entirely gone.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.
Good news, everyone! EA are still going to be profiteering shitbags who nickle and dime customers with season passes and loot boxes for content that already exists in the code.
