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

[-] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 28 points 3 days ago

So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.

[-] chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 126 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Insekticus@aussie.zone 22 points 4 days ago

I wouldn't trust EA not to skip a chance to lie. They're probably going to make their "values" even more subhuman.

[-] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 59 points 4 days ago

"Our values have always been terrible. Expect no change."

[-] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 days ago

Good news, everyone! EA are still going to be profiteering shitbags who nickle and dime customers with season passes and loot boxes for content that already exists in the code.

[-] ech@lemmy.ca 49 points 4 days ago

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

[-] theywilleatthestars@lemmy.world 50 points 4 days ago

Even if true not particularly encouraging

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 42 points 4 days ago
[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 3 days ago

That’s easy when you don’t have any values.

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 21 points 4 days ago

Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered... yet.

[-] Sabata11792@ani.social 12 points 4 days ago

They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.

[-] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 33 points 4 days ago

Can't change what doesn't exist

[-] BastingChemina@slrpnk.net 16 points 4 days ago

This is what I just saw on my thread:

1000059273

Who need satire at this point?

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.

[-] Jumi@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

I've been boycotting them since before Battlefront 3 and I'm not stopping now

[-] DandomRude@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] Jivebunny@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

funny how I have not bought any of their games for a long time now, since it's mostly slop anyways nowadays

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

[-] teft@piefed.social 24 points 4 days ago
[-] Tronn4@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Values: money grab

[-] mhague@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.

After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!

[-] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

More like: Damn, there's another level of hell?

[-] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Well there was just some base level of hope in the back of some people’s minds that one day they might get their shit together and now that hope is entirely gone.

[-] Timberfang@pawb.social 3 points 3 days ago

At least they (hopefully) won't be getting even worse?

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 19 points 4 days ago

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.

[-] dan1101@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

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.

So still no reason to buy? Gotcha!

[-] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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

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

[-] switcheroo@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago

Let's do what we do best: boycott this shit. Don't buy. Not that anyone was buying in the first place lol

[-] jonathan@piefed.social 15 points 4 days ago

"what we do best" we're really fucking bad at boycotts, what are you talking about.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 13 points 4 days ago

Tell that the FIFA people who buy billions worth of lootboxes

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 5 points 4 days ago

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

[-] tahoe@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

*anyone on Lemmy

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

“Thank you for buying our game!” “Please sign in and give us all your personal information to play.” -Saudi ArabEA

[-] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

The thing is EA is supposedly one of the most stable and most high-benefit positions in the industry.

Well thats about to change

[-] drspawndisaster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah we know

[-] natecox@programming.dev 6 points 4 days ago
[-] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

Well, okay then. I doubt that I have any EA games on my roster, but I'll go through and give it a diligent scrubbing, just to be on the safe side.

[-] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago

lol haha lmao.

Oh tkey’re serious? Ok. Sure.

[-] NoPanko@feddit.uk 3 points 4 days ago

EAs “values” were already pretty nonexistent so I believe them

[-] TigerAce@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago

"We value taking advantage of young children with lootboxes, pay to win, loads of DLC's to make games have actual content (still shit) and to find new ways to extort kids out of even more money than we have done so far. We believe our new leadership consisting of an extremist genocide supporting asshole and a regime where stoning women is normal won't change our values but would only support them."

[-] blave@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Kelcho@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

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

[-] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I'm not getting it at this point. I was already hesitant as it was the only thing keeping me in Windows 11 but now that it's also coming with Kushner root kits - I'm out.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Looks like I'll be going from not playing EA games to not playing EA games.

[-] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

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

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago

"I mean, they can't get any worse, right?"

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don't buy anything from EA, ever again.

[-] Korkki@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

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.
