Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered… yet.
Sabata11792@ani.social 2 hours ago
They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 hours ago
I believe that. EA didn’t have values before and will continue to not have them now.

EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.
Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Well, okay then. I doubt that I have any EA games on my roster, but I’ll go through and give it a diligent scrubbing, just to be on the safe side.

So, just the same soulless cash grabs as usual going forward?
UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 48 minutes 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.

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

Even if true not particularly encouraging
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 hours ago
So still no reason to buy? Gotcha!
DandomRude@lemmy.world 9 hours 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 52 minutes 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 39 minutes ago
That’s true, but now it’s also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.

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.”

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.
dan1101@lemmy.world 2 hours 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.

Finals has superior destruction anyways.

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 9 hours 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.

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.

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

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.

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.
Linktank@lemmy.today 8 hours ago
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.
