I haven’t bought an EA game since 2012 and I don’t feel like I’ve missed much. In fact, it gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

I havent felt compelled to play anything under EA besides Apex legends in the past 12-14 years. I dont really feel bad for Bioware as they've consistently missed on their products...and not even in ways that make sense.

The BioWare people who made the games we like are long gone. That’s what EA does. They run a golden goose slaughterhouse so shareholders can eat golden goose meat.

I think you guys are either uninformed or being unfair.

EA has quite a few good recent games. Battlefield 6 and the Star Wars games for example.

EA is massive company. They're like Tencent where their business model is to buy existing video game companies as investments. It's not really EA making all of these games.

Like Grinding Gear Games is owned by Tencent but no one would be correct to say that Tencent is making Path of Exile. Grinding Gear Games is making Path of Exile and Tencent just happens to own GGG.

I have no interest in Brownian Motion multiplayer shooters or their tacked-on rail shooter single player campaigns.
