EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in reviews. It wasn't long before the backlash led to EA disabling the ads.

Dead Space from 2008 is such a good game. EA has fallen so far. I don't see myself ever buying another EA game at this point.

*they're buying studios who make legendary games and kill them.

They are a parasite to the gaming landscape.
