Not that big of a deal for me. I refuse to buy EA games.

If only their single player games were available without their shitty DRM.

Oh no! What will I do without EA games?

Oh wait, the same thing I'm currently doing. Not even playing them when they're free on Gamepass.

I once made the mistake of buying the EA Pass (or whatever it's called) on a discount. The entire catalog was nothing but 5-10 year old games. The only new games in the catalog were the two worst titles to put in your shitty pass: Battlefield 2142 and fucking FIFA.

Reposting my other comment from another thread:

How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week.. like... I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won't go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.

These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn't run on your computers is out of your control.

Which raises the point, why don't they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

From my point of view: Bad for EA. No run on Linux or Steam Deck? No purchase.

Stopped buying EA games, Activision/blizzard, ubisoft games a long time ago, don't have to worry about this shit most of the time.

I wish Steam would allow us to ignore whole publishers instead of only specific games. Or at least let me filter them out in the shop when I'm looking for sales.

Same, though I've played some of the older AC games from Ubisoft. Other than that, their games aren't interesting to me.

They have a lot of broken crap in my library right now. Mass Effect: Andromeda being the most annoying one for right now as the multiplayer in that game seems to be region locked and it's almost impossible to find a match. That's if the ea desktop shit is even working that day.

That game had so much potential but EA or the studio seems to have just said fuck it.

Sucks.

Yeah, there is a lot of potential in that game.

Story is decent enough so far. (I haven't finished it yet.)

Fuck space sudoku.

The companions could have been much more compelling than they are.

The UI is a hot mess.

Gunplay is the best out of all 4.

Open worlds are nice but can get grindy.

I love all the references back to the original story I've ran across so far. (I sadly took a break after starting the game a long time ago and am lost on the actual time periods. Scared to look it up to prevent spoilers.)

Multiplayer is just ME3 multiplayer but better.

I've enjoyed it better up the point I'm at now than some of the ass changes done to ME2 and 3. At like 60 hours total across the copy I own on EA's launcher and the Steam version. Only have 90 hours in Legendary edition with only like 10 missing annoying achievements if that tells you anything.

EDIT: Oh, also. Achievements and saves are cross compatible from EA -> Steam.

Fuck EA, I already don't buy their games because of their bullshit launcher. This will keep me not buying their game even more.

Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games

Why can't you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can't believe I wrote that sentence)

Too much work, for so little gain. I’d expect it if they ever release a Tf3, though.

Is anybody still holding their breath waiting for that? I think Star Citizen will be released before Tf3.

Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles

It's good that they're fixing stuff, but there might be other reasons for that.

EA anti-cheat sucks and is useless. One look at the KDR or literally impossible hit % rates at the top of the stats board is proof enough. They just don’t care.

The only EA game I ever enjoyed was NHL 98 on snes. It didn't have anti cheat.

This article is just bad bullshit. EE does not care about cheating more than sales, has never done. They literally let cheaters do what they want on official servers, then let players ruin their own servers to fix it. Had always been this. Every ea game.
