Oh good, I can continue not buying EA games.
And the rest is Jared Kushner. Enjoy that shit sandwich.
EA was already shit, but somehow they found bread made from shit and built a whole sandwich.
If you still buy EA games at this point you better not tell anyone because you’re a braindead fuckwit for sending Saudis your money
that's an improvement over sending the usians our money.
barely but still.
I have bad news for you if you drive a non-electric car 😏
Some people have no choice in what kind of car they can afford to drive.
We all have a very easy choice when it comes to choosing your video games
People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.
Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.
Have you seen North American public transportation?
Yeah, I have a "choice", but it's 60-85 minutes on 3 busses or a 12 minute drive to get to and from work.
Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places
Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.
This thread is peak Lemmy.
EA games suck nowadays anyway; this was just a buyout for shareholders and founders.
Remind me: when was this not the case? I never in my life heard anyone ever say ‘oh great, it’s an EA game’
dead space, mirrors edge, original skate
Just listed some of my favorites right there. ME was way ahead of it's time. Banger game.
Harry Potter and Sorcerer's Stone for PC was pretty good.
Probably games around year 2000. Not so much recycling back then.
Yep, their early days were bad ass… pretty much like any company that starts out before they become corporate cock suckers
Boy EA really hit rock bottom and just kept on a-diggin til they struck oil didn't they.
SA - fuck up everything.
We are all children of ~~jesus~~ petro states.
The buyout has effectively already gone through, and as the price has been decided, any money you give to them is directly going to saudi arabia, as they will get that new value.
Dice - mirrors edge, battlefield
Popcap - tons of mobile games
Respawn - Alex legends, Titanfall (ex call of duty developers)
Codemasters - lots of racing games
Long time partnered Sims creators have been collectively bailing and denouncing the take over. It's warmed my cold dead heart a bit.
Didn’t need additional reasons to never buy EA garbage, but yeah sure ok.
Yeah the kushner share is a bribe to bypass regulatory oversight, didn't you know?
The Evil Ampire gets bought by an evil empire. Huh.
Does EA own any other companies/brands that we should be aware of?
Unfortunately they have an exclusive publishing deal with the guys who made it takes two and split fiction.
How is this even legal?
What exactly about it is it you feel should be illegal?
Foreign country buying a US corporation. Seems like their investment should be capped at like 15%
US companies by foreign companies all the time, look at the food and drink corporations.
This is not a new or strange thing
It's definitely not new, but it's time to start thinking about how strange it is, and start pulling these assholes off their money-merry-go-round.
It's a world economy. What are you, some sort of maga twit America first and only bullshit?
"Stop being such a fascist and let us do business with these fucking murderers"
I don't want them to buy it. But there isn't anything illegal with investors purchasing a company line this no matter where they are from. It's just business, it really doesn't matter who owns them, they suck no matter what
