Like, everyone knows that EA is a terrible company, but it’s insane how they continually lower the bar. It’s honestly impressive how EA keeps innovating new ways to piss off consumers.
If they ever lose their sports exclusivity contracts, they’re cooked.
Madden and FIFA is why they’ll never stop being profitable
That’s a bit extreme. Everything from Hazelight (It Takes Two, Split Fiction) is sublime, they still have Respawn making Star Wars games. They have Sims. And (outside sports games) they’ve dialed down the “MTX meme” they were a decade ago.
…I’m not saying they’re good. But they’re nowhere near Activision-Blizzard enshittified, nor hurling towards it as fast as Xbox Studios and some other AAAs.

I mean, that’s an exclusivity thing again…
From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games…
We got a couple that were decent because there’s no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it’s terrible micro transactions.
Like…
Literally came from the beginning of that exclusivity deal…
Blizzard went to shit so completely that they made EA look good in comparison. Ubisoft too. Crazy. Maybe this is EA’s way of reclaiming the top spot?
Yeah, exactly. Xbox too. They make EA look good.
IMO Ubisoft seems to have bottomed out, almost like EA has.
