Right…
I’ve been boycotting them since before Battlefront 3 and I’m not stopping now

The thing is EA is supposedly one of the most stable and most high-benefit positions in the industry.
Well thats about to change
drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Yeah we know

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.
W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.

Values: money grab
Fizz@lemmy.nz 5 months ago
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.”
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
You know, I didn’t doubt that for a single second.
notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.

What a bunch of losers. Battlefield 6 will definitely be my last EA game
captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Desert Strike was my last.

Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.
Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.
Jaysyn@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Well, that’s quite the bald-faced lie.
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”
Spoiler alert: They can.
Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.
mugita_sokiovt@discuss.online 5 months ago
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.
mhague@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.
After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!
Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 5 months ago
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.
inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 5 months ago
More like: Damn, there’s another level of hell?

“Thank you for buying our game!” “Please sign in and give us all your personal information to play.” -Saudi ArabEA

Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered… yet.
Sabata11792@ani.social 5 months ago
They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.

“Our values have always been terrible. Expect no change.”
Passerby6497@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Sure, they’ll just now promote games where Nazis and religious fundies murder journalists and gender minorities

“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.”

Wake the fuck up

So, just the same soulless cash grabs as usual going forward?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Soulless cash grab with a healthy vinere 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.
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 months ago
So still no reason to buy? Gotcha!
Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 months ago
I believe that. EA didn’t have values before and will continue to not have them now.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Looks like I’ll be going from not playing EA games to not playing EA games.
ceph@lemmy.world 5 months ago
So, more of the same or worse.
Timberfang@pawb.social 5 months ago
At least they (hopefully) won’t be getting even worse?
