Not that big of a deal for me. I refuse to buy EA games.

[-] pfaca@lemm.ee 21 points 1 year ago

Unexpected Battlestar Galactica.

[-] beirut_bootleg@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

So say we all.

[-] Stillhart@lemm.ee 80 points 1 year ago

Oh no! What will I do without EA games?

Oh wait, the same thing I'm currently doing. Not even playing them when they're free on Gamepass.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I once made the mistake of buying the EA Pass (or whatever it's called) on a discount. The entire catalog was nothing but 5-10 year old games. The only new games in the catalog were the two worst titles to put in your shitty pass: Battlefield 2142 and fucking FIFA.

[-] NotTheProduct@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

2042 or 2142? Many a night was spent boarding titans.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The newer, shittier one. (So 2142 I think)

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

how will I cope wothout playing the latest shit football game that's the same or. maybe even worse than the one from last year?

Reposting my other comment from another thread:

How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week.. like... I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won't go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.

These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn't run on your computers is out of your control.

Which raises the point, why don't they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

Bad news for EA.

[-] Amends1782@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 year ago

Stopped buying EA games, Activision/blizzard, ubisoft games a long time ago, don't have to worry about this shit most of the time.

[-] Lemmchen@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I wish Steam would allow us to ignore whole publishers instead of only specific games. Or at least let me filter them out in the shop when I'm looking for sales.

Same, though I've played some of the older AC games from Ubisoft. Other than that, their games aren't interesting to me.

[-] Platform27@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

They’re Evil Arseholes, what’d you expect.

[-] Feliberto@programming.dev 14 points 1 year ago

Fuck EA, I already don't buy their games because of their bullshit launcher. This will keep me not buying their game even more.

[-] Contend6248@feddit.de 10 points 1 year ago

Hahaha, you really think these scam artists are missed?

[-] kib48@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I hope they don't bring it to Titanfall 2

[-] Platform27@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Too much work, for so little gain. I’d expect it if they ever release a Tf3, though.

[-] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I’d expect it if they ever release a Tf3, though.

Is anybody still holding their breath waiting for that? I think Star Citizen will be released before Tf3.

[-] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 3 points 1 year ago

Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles

[-] MartinXYZ@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

It's good that they're fixing stuff, but there might be other reasons for that.

[-] noodlejetski@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

or Apex Legends :/

[-] liquidparasyte@pawb.social 9 points 1 year ago

Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games

Why can't you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can't believe I wrote that sentence)

[-] TechieDamien@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[-] AphoticDev@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago

Well, I never intend on paying for any EA title anyway, so I suppose I don't need to worry about it.

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

The only EA game I ever enjoyed was NHL 98 on snes. It didn't have anti cheat.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

EA anti-cheat sucks and is useless. One look at the KDR or literally impossible hit % rates at the top of the stats board is proof enough. They just don’t care.

[-] GustavoM@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago
[-] miss_brainfart@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Oh yeah, I still have an EA account for whatever reason

[-] KeenFlame@feddit.nu -1 points 1 year ago

This article is just bad bullshit. EE does not care about cheating more than sales, has never done. They literally let cheaters do what they want on official servers, then let players ruin their own servers to fix it. Had always been this. Every ea game.

[-] sirsquid@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What about the article is "bullshit"?
