EA has refused to confirm whether Medal of Honor: Warfighter developer Danger Close Games has been closed amidst the company's ongoing restructuring.
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.
Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.
Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.
Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.
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.
Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.
Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.
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.
You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.
"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.
I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Ibrahim from eXputer: "The Medal of Honor franchise was once the crown jewel of FPS war games, later defeated by the tides of time and poor development."
They tried to turn it into Call of Duty and it killed it off. They should reboot it and go back to it's roots. But they'd ruin it with online-only/multiplayer style bullshit so why bother? I have very fond memories of these games, but this series can stay dead as far as I'm concerned.
Was literally just thinking of this game the other week with the secret nut cracker mission and the shooting Bismarck dog lmao. Loved these games as a kid
I have fond memories of playing the Medal of Honor Breakthrough MP Demo. It had two maps and custom servers. Living on campus, I had it downloaded on one of the PC Lab servers so I could access it on any computer at the university. Joined a clan and made friends that I still keep in touch with today.
I wouldn't be surprised since MOH[modern warfare]failed twice
Danger Closed
EA really think this is a joke, don't they? I guarantee DICE will close if BF loses its charm, and any other decent studio they own for that matter. EA has exceeded Activision in terms of how low they've sunk.
You see, it's companies like this ruining, and destroying gaming. By sucking every cent from a franchise then demolishing that game's studio - it's ridiculous - and shouldn't be allowed to happen. I wonder how many hard-working, honest professionals have lost their favourite job due to EA's greed.
I'd love to know who makes these decisions? A group of "professionals?" Surely they don't see the decimation of art to be a good, honest day's work? It's completely EA's fault. Not many other publishers run down franchises to the point of failure; once successful franchises too. Thankyou EA. Your silence says it all. I hope to see your wretched corporation self destruct by annihilating all of your good studios. Leave, EA, you won't be missed. In fact, you'll do gaming a favour. No longer will other studios practically "rape" their games of content to sell it as DLC later on in the year. No longer will studios be stripped of what they once were to nab EA a quick dime.
This is becoming so serious that if EA don't change, they'll be the modern standard 1980's games publisher. They release trash too often with too little done to it. EA and Activision lead the gaming industry's notorious list of "joke" publishers; however, EA lead this elusive list for being so immorally wrong.
EA controls their studios like a disease, and cuts them off like a French guillotine.
Just die, EA.
"refused to confirm" - it's closed all right
It's funny, when the game trailer first came out, all the gamers thought this was going to be the CoD killer and was going to be an outstanding title. It ended up being the most generic games of this gen. And the online is just terrible
