What the fuck happened to this company? They used to release actual games up until late 2000s and early 2010, such as Red Alert 3 and Alice: Madness Returns, then something happened in 2010s and they suddenly pivoted hard into releasing only shit that feels like nothing more than overglorified monetization platforms.

The latest 6 months of skate controversy made me realize that they need to follow in ubi's footsteps and just fucking bankrupt themselves
As of a few weeks ago, they're now owned by the saudi's btw, it has never been this over for EA lmao

EA were always massive jews and hated for it (if you don't remember, you're probably too young to use this website), but widespread internet adoption meant they no longer had to make their money on just the sale of the game, and they could jew harder than any publisher had ever dreamed of jewing.

They have always been a sportslop and trendchasing company. They fucking sued SEGA just so they could receive special treatment and make their own gay coloured cartridges. The technology for predatory monetization just wasn't there yet in the 90s and 00s so they needed to make decent games that sold copies.

They are just license whores now, FIFA alone is 80 percent of their profit

Blame sportsfaggots for buying the same game every year, especially third world soccerfags

The EA SEGA thing was based. Instead of dealing with their bullshit vendor lockin they rerverse engineered the carts and said fuck you we'll make our own carts and license them to other publishers too unless you give us a better deal. Nothing like that could happen today in this cucked DMCA hellscape.

What they did to PopCap was a travesty
