Those "private investors" suck. Just in case you were curious

They're being sold to the Saudis. The same guys who hacked up a journalist so they will continue the EA tradition of hacking up developers, only now 100% more physically.

First EA killed all the good developers/publishers like Codemasters.. Maxis. Visceral. Criterion. Black Box.

ANd now they will be sold to a private investors..? What the hack.. EA is dead to me already.

Everyone be buying yo dataaaaaaaaa, no longer a struggle to hide illegal activity because we privateeeeee. It’s a new song I’m working on.

Hear me out:

  • Split Fiction and everything from Hazelight is fantastic.

…That’s about it.

I guess churning stuff out like F1 or Sims DLC every year isn’t particularly offensive, and they didn’t mess up ME LE too bad. And they have a history of some neat originals.

What I’m saying is EA isn’t really the mega villain anymore. And maybe the longer-term horizon allowed by going private will help?

Wishing this frees up the Mirrors Edge IP for a sequel... Knowing that won't happen... Sad face....

Makes me even more nervous for the future of the Mass Effect franchise

I still don't understand why this sub has a veiney bad dragon thing for its image.

Years of being fucked by big gaming corpos took it's toll.
