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.

lol values

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.

Delete your EA accounts if you haven’t already.

At the very least, spoil the data that they hold on file for you.
Korkki@lemmy.ml 5 months ago
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.

If true… that is not saying what they were trying to say about their current company values.

Let’s do what we do best: boycott this shit. Don’t buy. Not that anyone was buying in the first place lol

“what we do best” we’re really fucking bad at boycotts, what are you talking about.

Our tiny community squeaks into the void while normies continue to pick up pre releases and loot boxes like crazy.

Tell that the FIFA people who buy billions worth of lootboxes

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 5 months 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 5 months ago
That’s true, but now it’s also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.
chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 5 months ago
EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.
blave@lemmy.world 5 months ago
It’s nice to know he’s a pathological liar right off the bat

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

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.

Finals has superior destruction anyways.
dan1101@lemmy.world 5 months 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.

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 5 months 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.

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

EAs “values” were already pretty nonexistent so I believe them
