Good, do it.

Let your player base dwindle some more. I already outright refuse to play EA crap. Fill it with ads, make ads mandatory before and after all loading screen.

Want to equip new gear? Forced ads Want to save? Forced ads

Put so many ads that you make bajillions. Do it ea I dare you.

Get fucked EA

I cannot buy fewer EA games. The last EA game I bought ran on the Super Nintendo.

I hope gamers will unite. Though it seems far more likely that kids will just buy it because "wooooo hype. Who cares about ads, I already watch a bazillion a day when doomscrolling Instagram".

I'm really struggling to remember when 's the last time I played an EA game. I can't really...

Let them monetize everything until oblivion,no one's gonna stop them anyway,so they might as well slowly die.

They tried it way before 2020 too, they talked to the agency I worked for at the time. Same result

EA already did this. Many games had real ads on billboards in the world. Need for speed underground 2 was sponsored by cingular wireless. Your ingame pager was product placement and the company's logo was on screen whenever you were doing free roam.

This is very EA with historical precident.

There are many independent developers who deserve your money more than EA. Vote with your wallet.

If they'd just be smart about it. Make the ads in-game. Like a Nike poster on a wall or a can of Pepsi on a table or something. I wouldn't have a problem with that. Making them the entire focus - however brief - just makes me hate them immeasurably.

Fellow gamers, now is the time to push back on this crap. If you don't do it now, you'll live with this forever. They tried doing this in past generations as well, and failed.

Spread the word, tell others. Be vocal! Advocate for this not happening.

And if someone tells you that this isn't preventable, tell them not to be cynical. Remind them of the other positive changes we were able to have happen recently in gaming, and that in the past when they tried this, the pushback was successful in keeping the gaming companies from doing so.

And remember, some of those you would try to convince are probably astroturfers/bots.

why the fuck should I pay for them then?

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.

Good thing seeing that a game is published or developed by EA, or one of its subsidiaries, is 9 times out of 10 enough for me to not bother with the game to begin with. They don't make a thing that is worth dealing with them to get to play.

That company burned all of its good will and trust with me years ago. So sure go ahead and put as many ads as you want EA. I know for sure I won't be seeing them.

Once these companies have your money, they don't care what you want. Don't give your money to companies that abuse you like this.

...82% of the visual field... ...before inducing seizures.

LOL "clever response involving a bottle of rum and the high seas"

This is another reason I tapping out of gamepass now. With whats happening with streaming, I don't even want to support a "good deal" when I know the prices will go up, they'll make tier pricing and add ads somewhere. I want to own my shit. I'm done with ads. Amazon last change to prime made me cancel all services except youtube and bought a 14tb hdd. EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard are all on do not buy list for me.

My last EA title was Red Alert III which they swaped for a version that required origin. I miss Westwood.

I do hope someone works out how to mod this to replace all ads with KPop.

Last EA game I bought was Battlefield 1 at launch, since I was a Battlefield fanatic. Haven't given them a penny since. I'm doing my part.

Why would you pay full-price for the game then? Sales are constant, games do not hold their value. If you are a developer that is bothered by this, I suggest you stop working for EA
