Anything connected to that wanne-be king can go get f'd.
fucked
fuck'd
see. we're all adults here. it's ok to say "fuck".
Good thing I'm already boycotting EA, because installing ring-0 "anticheat" Saudi software on a windows PC is pants on head stupid.
+1 to the dark horses inside EA who saw this coming and open sourced some of their classics before this, so the robber barrons couldn’t gate keep them.
what was open sourced?
They released the source code for many Command & Conquer games.
I will continue not buying EA games. It's a shame they have some interesting franchises inside their corpse pile, but there's always other games and entertainments.
i havent pirated a game in over 35 or 40 years. i did in the 80s when i had no money but in my adult life i bought. i had the money. there is no way i am giving this cohort money
I guess EA can get worse. Huh.
It's in the game
Challenge everything
I think they are there now
Peak shittiness.
You can always dig deeper
It's honestly fascinating
Its fascistnating
Had to double-check that one.
Nice
Oh no I'll have to just... Continue ignoring and not buying from EA.
No problem. Apart from WRC, I haven't touched an EA game in a long time, mainly because I just assume they're shit and don't even try. I really don't have any reason to think of them when browsing games.
They have been making shitty sports games on monopolized licences for too long, and sports fans just keep buying the same shit over and over.
Whenever i notice that an interesting game is published by EA i immediately lose all interest in it
Or rather that would happen if i had ever seen an interesting looking EA game
I don't understand capitalists society complaining when someone buy their products.
A sad day for Mass Effect. To think that, if the next installment is great, money goes to the butcher prince and nepotism incarnate. I really hope Kushner gets tried and convicted as as a traitor.
A match made in heaven.
Had to do a report in buad on EA. Their entire business model is exactly 1 shade lighter than Martin Shkreli's
...as if I needed another reason to continue to boycott EA.
Jared is owned by Donald who is in turn owned by the Saudis, so that makes EA 100% property of KSA
Just when you thought there was no way EA could suck more.
I loved getting free games from them, but when this was first announced it was just too goddamn much. I will not use a game platform owned by fucking Saudi Arabia
