The Mass [Layoff] Effect
The offices are now just a Dead Space.
Former engineers are referred to as Apex Legends.
This is great news, soon there will be no EA!
Perfect timing and a fitting fate, considering they are now owned by blood oil kings and nazi’s
So no change, really.
EA died a long time ago.
It think they were talking about the undead monster one.
I know, I know and everyone defines a different time when it happened. But it’s time for the zombie to… leave.
Yet the zombie still harasses us.
It would be if not all the wrong people profited from it.
I just realized I haven’t played an EA game in over a decade. SW Battlefront II was the last one, and it felt like a downgrade from the 2005 version.
I mean, are there any of their titles that have made an impact in the last decade? I can’t think of any other than sports and racing games.
Their new owners pretty much only care about the sports games
I got Madden last year so I could get my kid into football. Figured if there was a video game, he’d be interested in learning more about the game, and it worked. Having said that, I’m not buying any new ones for updated rosters, so they won’t be seeing another dime from me.
Battlefield 6 is a new one that comes to mind - heard good things, might try it in the “perpetual demo” mode
I was looking at that recently as well, but saw the reviews are at mixed now…
All the more reason to go sailing
“We’re going to have AI write all the games now”
~ some execAI told me we can do it!
They’re not a game company anymore. It’s getting the Toys R Us treatment. They’re a debt vehicle. They’re gonna borrow against its value, place all the debt into EA while pocketing the cash, and let it die.
If we’re lucky, they’ll sell off the studios and IP before cutting it loose.
Oligarchs oligarching. Every “publisher” and “developer” is firing everyone and are gonna very quickly vanish once it’s remembered that perpetual motion is impossible.
Private Equity 101, “buy” a business using borrowed money, put all the debt on the company you “bought”, slash costs, sell off assets, have the company declare bankruptcy and take all the debt with it, rince and repeat… Profit.
Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why this is legal
And as if that wasn’t an insult to the middle class, people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos can borrow against their stock holdings as if they were real assets, yet never be taxed on the value. But if you borrow against the value of your house, YOU get taxed on that value.
Can’t wait for them to destroy it like they destroyed their golf league.
People are still buying EA:s unfinished games? Wow.
I admit that they got me a few times, but I quickly learned not to buy from them again.
But what was the last time you bought a finished game? PS2?
I never forgot how EA destroyed battle field
EA, it’s in the grave.
EA sucks ass, hopefully this is the beginning of the end.
My only hope is EA dies soon and some other devs take up and resurrect ME and DA

Someone should make a Freespace RPG. It’s the same story, but since there wasn’t a Freespace 3 they never screwed up the ending.
Yah, i expect not to buy anymore EA games. They had a good run i guess.
Mind you I haven’t played many anyway lately.
Just trimming some fat (and a leg or two)
I’m shocked… /s
They’ll only make sports games, that’s the reliable cash cow.
