Right…
Even if true not particularly encouraging
They’re both aligned on fucking over people for profit.
Not gonna lie, I was pretty stoked for Battlefield 6. Haven’t played one since 3 and all my friends were gonna get it. Guess I’ll just go fuck myself and keeping playing Overwatch or something.
I’ve been hooked on The Finals for my destruction shooter fix, since the development team (Embark Studios) is mostly composed of ex-DICE employees. They’re upcoming game Arc Raiders also looks pretty good.
I was stoked for BF6 until it wanted me to enable Secure Boot and install rootkit anti-cheat. Now with the Saudis and Jared Kushner in charge installing a rootkit to play a game is an even worse idea. Maybe if I only used the computer for gaming.
I played the beta weekends. I can assure you anything fun will be nerfed, because all the fun stuff was what the sweaty basement boys were complaining about the most. You’re not going to miss out on much of the final product.
I played it too and I 100% agree. However, I feel like it’s always a good thing to keep in mind that the best time to play an online shooter is when it first comes out. That way you get to at least have fun before all the casual people move on to other games and the sweaty people are the only ones left. My friends convinced me to try Fortnite just a couple years ago and all that happened was I got stomped every match and was like “this is fun for you guys?” I’ve been playing Overwatch since release and it’s basically impossible to get a match I’d consider “fun,” so to speak. I just wanted to get in on the fun for Battlefield before it turned into all sweats. Now I’d prefer to just avoid it all together.

As an enthusiastic but inept gamer with overactive sweat glands, I object to being lumped in with the overcompetitive fun killers! 😁
Tbf though, I don’t even play shooters in the first place. Unless you (wrongly) count the modern Fallout games, like some do.
They all value money over everything else, so that tracks.
This is what I just saw on my thread:
Who need satire at this point?
Ah, I’m so relieved. For a second I thought they were going to stop being absolute dog shit.
Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.
So you’ll continue being a money sucking ghoul who infects my hobby with more and more micro transactions for things that should have been shipped with the game in the first place?
Phew, I was worried there for a sec I might have to credit SA or a fucking Kushner for fixing one of the shittiest publishers in gaming, nice to know they can remain on “pirate if it looks good” list.
What a bunch of losers. Battlefield 6 will definitely be my last EA game
I’m not getting at this point. I was already hesitant as it was the only thing keeping me in Windows 11 but now that it’s also coming with Kushner root kits - I’m out.
Thats not a good sign. I’m choosing to take that as EAs values were already so bad that nothing is going to change after being taken over by a trump Saudi investment firm.
I’m choosing to read it as “we only bought it to get kernel-level access to millions of computers. Don’t worry about why we want that.”
You know, I didn’t doubt that for a single second.
That’s easy when you don’t have any values.
Values: money grab
So EA had poor values before and will continue to have poor values in the future. Got it.
