I cry for Shepard.
Get fucked EA I wont buy shit
Fuck AI.
Fuck the Saudi royal family.
Fuck Jared Kushner.
Boycott all EA games.
EA is not yet bad enough? They are actually trying to make it even worse?
Or is behind all this some rich, disappointed gamer who wants to ruin EA with a vengeance?
Step 1: AI
Step 2: ???
Step 3: Profit!
EA already in the shitter. About to become alot worse. 50 billion wasted.
My guess it that they'll do some financial fuckery that shouldn't be legal, and may not even be, and come away with profit leaving someone holding the bag.

Welp, I guess Battlefield 6 is cooked.
This is one I was looking forward to but won’t buy now.
"New EA owners somehow even MORE out of touch than current owners"
Better AI than humans. Humans have the potential to be gay and will end up shoving their corrupt ideology into the minds of our children.
So.. if there ever was going to be a new Mass Effect it's going to be totally shit now? Fuck.
Damn, I was actually looking forward to battlefield 6. Haven't bought an EA game in probably 10 years, so the loss isn't that big of a deal. And with COD being shit for 12 years, my FPS days might be over.
Delta Force has a Battlefield-ish multiplayer mode. It's free to play and you unlock new characters and guns as you advance. (Then there's an extraction mode too if you're into that.) I just tried it for the first time after the beta several months ago and I thought it was alright. No jets, but still solid.

Maybe start a gang war PvP in gtav? I've never played gtav so I don't know if that's even possible
I've never played their multiplayer. I'll just play fallout 4. Close enough, right?

I haven’t been giving EA any money for years already and I SURE WON’T BE DOING SO ANYTIME SOON!
Making good games that arent pay to win trash will do that too, ya know...
I couldn’t imagine how EA games could be worse, but then that’s why I’m not in charge. Good job, new owners, on finding a novel way to suck more.
Be prepared to see less feminine character involvement in future games as possible, because these saudi pricks are so backwards.

EA is gonna get Private Equity’d, I guarantee it ™️
If that‘s their big plan… well, I hope the IPs find smarter homes after EA goes bankrupt
