Sounds like EA is doubling down on live service games, Star Wars and sports. Not surprising, the industry has been moving away from the big AAA single player game culture for a long time. That might end up being an era that was linited to Millennials.

So much better game experience, but nowhere near the cash cow of people blowing money on cosmetics in live service games and pay to win. Even super low effort mobile games will frequently milk out way more cash.
Basically the good money is with low quality content, so good quality has to come out of enthusiasm for gaming, not from board rooms.

There should only be one company making video games. That’s the most efficient and cheapest.

Does anyone have any methods on studying Marx easily without losing focus and without losing memory, and what should I do if I don’t have any motivation to study, mostly out of laziness?

Now you’ll get an Allah based RPG where you blow yourself up, so you can get to the 72 virgins.

safe to say we won’t get controller support for dragon age origins anytime soon 😅

I’m guessing ME4 looked more like ME:A or Anthem than ME1/2.

Sorry, Saudi Arabia don’t like sci-fi. Just football and hacking up journalists.

They’d love to make a game about hacking up journalists, but their lawyers say it would be inadvisable.
