Was EA even doing anything with any of the actually good IPs they had? I haven’t heard of anything particularly interesting coming from them in a while now (ie. decades).

Say goodbye to any of their games you liked because this will be torn apart and will be making shit propaganda games
20 billion in debt will tear the company apart

I mean, they published Split Fiction and Tales of Kenzera this year and their Star Wars games were more than decent (let's hear it for the atrociously underrated X-Wing revival they made with Squadrons). They also published the C&C Remaster that same year, which I feel doesn't get enough credit despite getting a lot of credit. Probably one of the best examples of one of those in recent memory.
Let's not be disingenuous, none of that is their bread and butter, but it's not like they were entirely dormant.

I didn’t hear about a C&C remake… Well, shit!

It's pretty good. Comes with both C&C and Red Alert, plus a bunch of extras. Definitely worth it.

They bought companies people loved. Sims is huge.

My hope is that they'll sell off all the smaller IPs to make money fast, hopefully setting some of the ones I like free.

Independent Hazelight please. I don’t want to give money to Trumpists or Oil-men.
I can’t think of anyone else they own (and haven’t shut down) that I still give a fuck about. Maybe Criterion still have potential.
