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.

“Our values have always been terrible. Expect no change.”
Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 day ago
I believe that. EA didn’t have values before and will continue to not have them now.

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.

I’ve been boycotting them since before Battlefront 3 and I’m not stopping now
Fizz@lemmy.nz 14 hours 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.”

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

Values: money grab
notgivingmynametoamachine@lemmy.world 18 hours 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.

Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered… yet.
Sabata11792@ani.social 23 hours ago
They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.

Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.
DandomRude@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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.
Jivebunny@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
funny how I have not bought any of their games for a long time now, since it’s mostly slop anyways nowadays
DandomRude@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
That’s true, but now it’s also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.
Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 1 day ago
So, just the same soulless cash grabs as usual going forward?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 hours 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.

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.

The thing is EA is supposedly one of the most stable and most high-benefit positions in the industry.
Well thats about to change

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.
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 1 day ago
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.
TommySoda@lemmy.world 1 day ago
I played it too and I 100% agree. However, I feel like it’s always a good thing to keep in mind is 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.
dan1101@lemmy.world 1 day ago
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. They’re upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.
Lfrith@lemmy.ca 23 hours ago
Finals has superior destruction anyways.

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.

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