I will continue to never buy their games or support them at all ๐
Nothing worth buying anyways

It's like all these "smart" businesspeople can't read simple opinion polls.
Most people hate degenerative AI.
Most people avoid products that have it.
Adding degenerative AI to EA's games will worsen their condition, not improve it.
Most people hate degenerative AI.
Do you have any data supporting this claim?
Read the group. There was a post about it.
Just google it? Tons of surveys backing this claim.
I suspect half of the bet is in firing programmers and vibe coding away, which is already working out super well - for "AI code cleanup" professionals
Just so I'm clear, this move entails:
Get a massive loan, use it to buy a company, take the money back from the company, saddle the company with the debt for it's own purchase, scrap it for parts and let it go bankrupt?
Considering it's EA, this might actually be a good thing for the world.
i just uninstalled all EA games and the app. its not a safe product to use under the control of the new owners it seems.
If the recent examples of Google and Microsoft are any indication, they're going to lay people off and just stop doing QA. Everything I use from Google and Microsoft has been buggy as hell of late.
My last remaining spark of hope for a Mass Effect game that isn't completely fucked just died. Let's hope that Exodus will scratch that itch for me...
Not only hope for future games. We might very well lose the old games, when they inevitably go bankrupt and close the EA Launcher along with our libraries there.
"Teehee, I'm in danger"
I am pleasantly surprised by how little this affects me.
Good luck with that
Fuck AI
