Not that big of a deal for me. I refuse to buy EA games.
So Say We All!
Unexpected Battlestar Galactica.
So say we all.
If only their single player games were available without their shitty DRM.
Pirates of the Caribbean music intensifies
Oh no! What will I do without EA games?
Oh wait, the same thing I’m currently doing. Not even playing them when they’re free on Gamepass.
Preach. I got a free EA game from the epic store once. Even at that price point, it was not worth what I paid. Literally, there’s so much better shit I can fit in 100GB that even at 0$ that’s a bad investment
I once made the mistake of buying the EA Pass (or whatever it’s called) on a discount. The entire catalog was nothing but 5-10 year old games. The only new games in the catalog were the two worst titles to put in your shitty pass: Battlefield 2142 and fucking FIFA.
2042 or 2142? Many a night was spent boarding titans.
The newer, shittier one. (So 2142 I think)
how will I cope wothout playing the latest shit football game that’s the same or. maybe even worse than the one from last year?
Reposting my other comment from another thread:
How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week… like… I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won’t go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.
These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn’t run on your computers is out of your control.
Which raises the point, why don’t they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats
From my point of view: Bad for EA. No run on Linux or Steam Deck? No purchase.
Bad news for EA.
Stopped buying EA games, Activision/blizzard, ubisoft games a long time ago, don’t have to worry about this shit most of the time.
I wish Steam would allow us to ignore whole publishers instead of only specific games. Or at least let me filter them out in the shop when I’m looking for sales.
Same, though I’ve played some of the older AC games from Ubisoft. Other than that, their games aren’t interesting to me.
They’re Evil Arseholes, what’d you expect.
Nothing of value has been lost.
Never been so happy to not care about AAA
AAA just means the publisher is a mid sized or major publisher. Which means literally nothing in today’s time.
Look at 90% of all ‘AAA’ games today and compare it with eg. Minecraft, which is basically an Indie game. Which is better? Of course, back in 2000 AAA games were good, look at HL and later HL 2, Portal etc. Could be just Valve tho.
Fuck EA, I already don’t buy their games because of their bullshit launcher. This will keep me not buying their game even more.
They have a lot of broken crap in my library right now. Mass Effect: Andromeda being the most annoying one for right now as the multiplayer in that game seems to be region locked and it’s almost impossible to find a match. That’s if the ea desktop shit is even working that day.
Hahaha, you really think these scam artists are missed?
Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games
Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)
I hope they don’t bring it to Titanfall 2
Too much work, for so little gain. I’d expect it if they ever release a Tf3, though.
I’d expect it if they ever release a Tf3, though.
Is anybody still holding their breath waiting for that? I think Star Citizen will be released before Tf3.
Well, TF|2 just got a flurry of fixes and activity recently, so they seem to be eying the market for potential future titles
It’s good that they’re fixing stuff, but there might be other reasons for that.
or Apex Legends :/
Well, I never intend on paying for any EA title anyway, so I suppose I don’t need to worry about it.
