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.

If true… that is not saying what they were trying to say about their current company values.

As if I needed yet another reason to not purchase EA games.

Our tiny community squeaks into the void while normies continue to pick up pre releases and loot boxes like crazy.

“what we do best” we’re really fucking bad at boycotts, what are you talking about.

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

@DandomRude@lemmy.world avatar

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

EA has no values, because they’re a soulless, shit hole company, so they’re not lying (this time), I guess.

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

It’s nice to know he’s a pathological liar right off the bat

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

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 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,

I played it too and I 100% agree. However, I feel like it’s always a good thing to keep in mind 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.

Viking_Hippie,

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.

As an enthusiastic but inept gamer with overactive sweat glands, I object to being lumped in with the overcompetitive fun killers! 😁

Tbf though, I don’t even play shooters in the first place. Unless you (wrongly) count the modern Fallout games, like some do.

Truscape, (edited )

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

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.

Lfrith,

Finals has superior destruction anyways.

They’re both aligned on fucking over people for profit.

Even if true not particularly encouraging

BryceBassitt, do games w Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'

Its getting controller support so im excited for it
