EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm
EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm
Right....
They’re both aligned on fucking over people for profit.
EA has no values, because they're a soulless, shit hole company, so they're not lying (this time), I guess.
I wouldn't trust EA not to skip a chance to lie. They're probably going to make their "values" even more subhuman.
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.
"Our values have always been terrible. Expect no change."
At least they (hopefully) won't be getting even worse?
That’s easy when you don’t have any values.
I've been boycotting them since before Battlefront 3 and I'm not stopping now
They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.
Even if true not particularly encouraging
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.
This is what I just saw on my thread:
Who need satire at this point?
Hey, at least EA has not had a journalist dismembered... yet.
They must have dismembered the witnesses too. Knowing EA, they sold the organs in loot boxes.
Values: money grab
Can't change what doesn't exist
Ah, I'm so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.
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.
funny how I have not bought any of their games for a long time now, since it's mostly slop anyways nowadays
That's true, but now it's also autocrat slop, which in my opinion disqualifies this company once and for all.
Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.
After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!
More like: Damn, there's another level of hell?
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.
Corporate wants you to find the difference between these two pictures.
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.
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.
I've been hooked on The Finals for my destruction shooter fix, since the development team (Embark Studios) is mostly composed of ex-DICE employees. Their upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.
Edit: typo fix
Finals has superior destruction anyways.
So still no reason to buy? Gotcha!
Well, that's quite the bold-faced lie.
My 11+ year old boycott of EA is looking smarter & smarter every day.
The thing is EA is supposedly one of the most stable and most high-benefit positions in the industry.
Well thats about to change
Yeah we know
Let's do what we do best: boycott this shit. Don't buy. Not that anyone was buying in the first place lol
"what we do best" we're really fucking bad at boycotts, what are you talking about.
Tell that the FIFA people who buy billions worth of lootboxes
Our tiny community squeaks into the void while normies continue to pick up pre releases and loot boxes like crazy.
*anyone on Lemmy
“Thank you for buying our game!” “Please sign in and give us all your personal information to play.” -Saudi ArabEA
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.
Fuck EA.
lol haha lmao.
Oh tkey’re serious? Ok. Sure.
EAs “values” were already pretty nonexistent so I believe them
"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."
What a bunch of losers. Battlefield 6 will definitely be my last EA game
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.
Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.
It’s nice to know he’s a pathological liar right off the bat
"I mean, they can't get any worse, right?"
Spoiler alert: They can.
Don't buy anything from EA, ever again.
Looks like I'll be going from not playing EA games to not playing EA games.
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.
Sure, they'll just now promote games where Nazis and religious fundies murder journalists and gender minorities
So, more of the same or worse.
Wake the fuck up
What he means is that they will still be a pos company that only cares about the bottom line and COULD NOT care less about the end user. Exactly the same.
lol values
If true... that is not saying what they were trying to say about their current company values.
So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.
