I cry for Shepard.
EA is not yet bad enough? They are actually trying to make it even worse?
Or is behind all this some rich, disappointed gamer who wants to ruin EA with a vengeance?
bye, rest in piss.
here's hoping for a source code leak so we can preserve the classics and such. maybe they'd cut some costs in security.
Step 1: AI
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
EA already in the shitter. About to become alot worse. 50 billion wasted.
My guess it that they'll do some financial fuckery that shouldn't be legal, and may not even be, and come away with profit leaving someone holding the bag.

Welp, I guess Battlefield 6 is cooked.
This is one I was looking forward to but won’t buy now.
"New EA owners somehow even MORE out of touch than current owners"
Better AI than humans. Humans have the potential to be gay and will end up shoving their corrupt ideology into the minds of our children.
So business as usual, then.
I haven’t been giving EA any money for years already and I SURE WON’T BE DOING SO ANYTIME SOON!
Damn, I was actually looking forward to battlefield 6. Haven't bought an EA game in probably 10 years, so the loss isn't that big of a deal. And with COD being shit for 12 years, my FPS days might be over.
It's very stupid to install a rootkit spyware on your computer to play a video game. Now that spyware is owned by the Saudi government too. Assuming you play on PC.
I'm a playstation guy. My computer savvy days are way in the rearview.
Delta Force has a Battlefield-ish multiplayer mode. It's free to play and you unlock new characters and guns as you advance. (Then there's an extraction mode too if you're into that.) I just tried it for the first time after the beta several months ago and I thought it was alright. No jets, but still solid.
Honestly I don't like the air vehicles of battlefield, so that's not a ding against it in my book.
Maybe start a gang war PvP in gtav? I've never played gtav so I don't know if that's even possible
I've never played their multiplayer. I'll just play fallout 4. Close enough, right?
So.. if there ever was going to be a new Mass Effect it's going to be totally shit now? Fuck.
Be prepared to see less feminine character involvement in future games as possible, because these saudi pricks are so backwards.

Goddamnit. I was actually looking forward to BF6
Oh yeah, were you looking forward to a sense of pride and accomplishment?
Do they have good gameplay? Story?

If that‘s their big plan… well, I hope the IPs find smarter homes after EA goes bankrupt
