It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it

They might as well. I can’t avoid buying EA games any harder than I already do.
First they came for EA, and I said nothing, for I was not into FIFA.

I have zero interest in online live service games so largely the entire AAA output for the last 5 years I have no interest in.

It’s going to be such a hack job with this takeover.
If meeting sales projections fails, heads roll. Literally.

You can sell it all you want, you’re not going to make me hate EA any more than I already do.

Haven’t bought an EA game since the SimCity 2013 reboot. They straight up lied about the nature of the game.

“So we’re like, evil evil now” EA, probably.
When regular evil isn’t enough

I remember that. Everyone was so fucking pissed.

Man, I’m going to buy their games even less from now on. I have no clue when I bought the last electronic arts game, but it has to be at least a decade.

That’s a bit extreme. Everything from Hazelight (It Takes Two, Split Fiction) is sublime, they still have Respawn making Star Wars games. They have Sims. And (outside sports games) they’ve dialed down the “MTX meme” they were a decade ago.
…I’m not saying they’re good. But they’re nowhere near Activision-Blizzard enshittified, nor hurling towards it as fast as Xbox Studios and some other AAAs.
Blizzard went to shit so completely that they made EA look good in comparison. Ubisoft too. Crazy. Maybe this is EA’s way of reclaiming the top spot?

Its shockingly sad how what EA was back in the early 90s to what it is now.

Oh man, the horror. Whatever will we do? I can’t imagine there’s any way we could obtain these games without contributing to the existence of this company. There’s nothing to be done. If only there was some, you know, exercise focused young woman that enjoyed traveling all of the time. So much so that her friends would pick on her. “That fit girl,” they’d say, “she just packs and repacks.” If only we could find this fit girl. I’m sure she could help us find a solution to this quandary

I remember when Skate 3 came out and people actually had positive opinions of EA and were excited about the games they made.

They always butchered games. What you’re remembering are the games made by studios that EA purchased, made before they were gutted for IP.

If EA, having been purchased, is milked for cash, strip-mined for IP, and then unceremoniously abandoned, it will be very funny.

Yeah, exactly. Xbox too. They make EA look good.
IMO Ubisoft seems to have bottomed out, almost like EA has.

Crossing my fingers, my toes, and knocking on wood.

Bahahahahahahahahahahahshshaha
The golden goose they will stuff with micro transactions and glow in the dark neon bullshit faster than the sweaty chopper nerds can camp the enemy spawn.
Enjoy the last BF title while you can.
Pray for another battlebit to come out of it.

I could have sworn this one early mech game was made by EA (early/ mid 90s) Ultrabots in NA. Nope they just published it. I had a ton of fun with it but guess they mostly produced even if they owned the studio. Unsure in that case but we know how EA works. So appreciate you making me check that cause in my head they made some grear games I played not just published them. I’m sure their earlier days they must have but didn’t look.

If it’s over 51% it’s all of it for all practical reasons.

Don’t ever buy EA products again. No problem really.
