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.

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

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.”

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

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

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.

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.

What a bunch of losers. Battlefield 6 will definitely be my last EA game

Desert Strike was my last.

This is what I just saw on my thread:

Who need satire at this point?

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

Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.

Ryanmiller70, do games w EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm

Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.

Well, that’s quite the bold-faced lie.

My 11+ year old boycott of EA is looking smarter & smarter every day.

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

“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.

Their bottom line of money making remains unchanged. Now, Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family will also be involved… and this is a mess waiting to happen.

Absolute BS from Wilson here.

mhague, do games w Former BioWare lead writer reads the runes on EA-Saudi deal and speculates that 'guns and football' are in, 'gay stuff' is out, and the venerable RPG studio may be for the chop

It’s EA. They could make gay stuff in games without them. But instead they make a deal with the devil and hope they come out on top? They want all the resources of a soulless giant but then they think they’re somehow escaping the taint?

It’s like musicians making deals that (unfairly, almost amorally) guarantee their songs play across the country… but then they think they’re still a normal artist.

Thanks for the representation I guess. Even though we had to collectively pay to make ME a popular franchise. I’m sure it was all about being true to your morals.

TheSambassador,

I mean, it’s EA. They’ve been in full on corporate profit mode forever, and any good games that they’ve put out are in spite of that. I doubt that there are a ton of “artists trying to make art” left at the decision making level of EA.

mostlikelyaperson,

Yeah a lot of the comments I have seen are outright bizarre, EA won’t change in any noticeable form. It’s maximum profit extraction now and it will remain maximum profit extraction after.
