So you’ll continue being a money sucking ghoul who infects my hobby with more and more micro transactions for things that should have been shipped with the game in the first place?

Phew, I was worried there for a sec I might have to credit SA or a fucking Kushner for fixing one of the shittiest publishers in gaming, nice to know they can remain on “pirate if it looks good” list.

That’s kind of an upgrade, at this point.

Bioware has essentially existed to pander to a very small minority for the past decade. I don’t think they’re capable of making a good game anymore, but at least they won’t get any support from anyone for their mediocrity.

SereneSadie,

BioWare created the first canonically gay character in Star Wars.

Take your bigoted shit out.

dubyakay,

canon

Doubt.

Guns and football seem pretty gay to me…

wetbeardhairs,

I’m a MAN. I’m a MAN who likes to watch MEN play with OTHER MEN. I especially like it when those MEN TOUCH EACH OTHER. It makes me cheer! Sometimes they have to RAM THEIR HOT SWEATY BODIES INTO ONE ANOTHER. Yeah I love that!

NotASharkInAManSuit,

I like it when they get rough with each other. So masculine.

Wait, is that why I don’t care about sports? Because I’m too straight?

wetbeardhairs,

I have it on good authority that if you go blow your bros that you’ll start to care about balls

You know, I didn’t doubt that for a single second.

Thats not a good sign. I’m choosing to take that as EAs values were already so bad that nothing is going to change after being taken over by a trump Saudi investment firm.

mic_check_one_two,

I’m choosing to read it as “we only bought it to get kernel-level access to millions of computers. Don’t worry about why we want that.”

Maybe BioWare can make a game featuring guns that shoot footballs…

how can football be in and gay stuff out? unless you mean european, like soccer.

Naw, still too gay. Its gotta be nothing but scenes from top gun from now on.

ShaggySnacks,

For the first gif when Tom Cruise throws the football back and the people behind him fall back.

That’s when next song and dance starts. Top Gun is a musical right?

Ha, Somehow no.

Okay even though it’s AI I love seeing what creative things people can do with minimal resources

Quexotic,

And the cynic in the back of my head is saying “oh, just you wait! You’ll love what’s next!” while another finger curls on the monkey’s paw.

Values: money grab

W3dd1e, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

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

kadaverin0, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

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.

drspawndisaster, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Yeah we know

The thing is EA is supposedly one of the most stable and most high-benefit positions in the industry.

Well thats about to change

I’ve been boycotting them since before Battlefront 3 and I’m not stopping now

I really cant wait for this generation of kids to grow up and start dealing with bills and shit. The moment they learn the true value of money this whole trend of buying lootboxes and packing players will die on its arse so fast.

I just hope theres some fly on the wall footage of the boards faces when they realise.

You think? That generation will have kids who buy the same crap and won’t listen to their parents, just like the kids now don’t listen.

yermaw,

Im hoping so. We don’t have the receipts to show them. Were just grandpa’s who yearn for the good old days and we just dont get it.

Akrenion,

I know adults who boost their ego with lootboxes. Beating the peasants by spending money that others use for groceries is how they feel superior.

Joeffect,

Yeah no… the fucked thing is they don’t care … everything is fucked… spending a bit of money on cheap plastic brings you a little bit of joy… why worry about money if you don’t even have much? You can’t get ahead so at least you can be happy… thats where we are…

ShaggySnacks,

Gotta keep the bread and circuses going.

ExLisper,

You don’t grow out of an addiction.

mohaas,

They’ll just graduate to sports gambling.

jjjalljs,

I know plenty of adults who are really bad at money and paying bills.

Tm12,

You rang?

dubyakay,

They will just become packers at Amazon.

Unfortunately they don’t grow out of it. I have a friend who still spends upwards of hundreds of dollars on games, especially Gacha games. It’s an addiction that i worry won’t be stopped
