      I wouldn’t trust EA not to skip a chance to lie. They’re probably going to make their “values” even more subhuman.

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

    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.

      funny how I have not bought any of their games for a long time now, since it’s mostly slop anyways nowadays

        That’s true, but now it’s also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.

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

      They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.

    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.

      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. Their upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.

      Edit: typo fix

      Soulless cash grab with a healthy veneer 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.

    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.
