I used to be naive about tablet gaming. I probably still am, but I digress. Recently I picked up the new iPad (3rd one if you’re counting, but Apple doesn’t like calling it the iPad 3 for whatever reason) and fell in love. Not only can I pretty much do what I am doing right now, but I can do it upside down, as a bungee jump to certain death, if I wanted to.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
I love iOS gaming.
There, I said it, now deal with it haters.
Touch screen gaming, be it for iOS or Android offers lots of fun and challenges to those who are after an all purpose device.
If you are doodling on a piece of paper while your bored, are you an artist? A book writer? No.
I'm not saying that its not possible to "game" on a phone, but if thats all you do, then don't call yourself a gamer.....your not.
I've had an iPad 3 since launch and I've downloaded so many games I can't count and I almost never play them. But I do use my DS and my PS Vita. I guess I've never really enjoyed the time waster type of game and just might never will.
