Right…
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.
It’s nice to know he’s a pathological liar right off the bat
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. They’re upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.
Go fuck yourselves you greedy corporate colostomy bags.
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.
Can’t change what doesn’t exist
They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.
Even if true not particularly encouraging
They’re both aligned on fucking over people for profit.
Let’s do what we do best: boycott this shit. Don’t buy. Not that anyone was buying in the first place lol
*anyone on Lemmy
“what we do best” we’re really fucking bad at boycotts, what are you talking about.
Tell that the FIFA people who buy billions worth of lootboxes
Our tiny community squeaks into the void while normies continue to pick up pre releases and loot boxes like crazy.
Their bottom line of money making remains unchanged. Now, Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family will also be involved… and this is a mess waiting to happen.
Absolute BS from Wilson here.
Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.
After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!
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.
More like: Damn, there’s another level of hell?
Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.
Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.
