SheAttack: EA makes good decision to delay both Battlefield: Hardline and Dragon Age: Inquisition and Erica of SheAttack discusses why!
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.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
... mostly because a lot of feedback on Hardline has been negative, with people either criticising the Beta in terms of gameplay, or the fact that it just looks like a lazy greedy full-priced re-skin, that never should have carried the Battlefield-title, and also never should have gotten it's own greedy 'Premium' plan.
All criticisms I agree with, btw. It seems lazy, it seems greedy, and it just seems stupid to release it under the Battlefield-brand.
They probably could have gotten away with it if they had passed it off as a new IP.
As far as Dragon Age is concerned, after the negative reception of Dragon Age 2, they need to get this one right, and it's up against stiff competition, mainly from The Witcher 3, so it's for the best if they really take their time on this and release a game that will be a must-have, instead of merely 'good'.
And to conclude, it's a good sign that EA is finally not rushing their games out of the door, when the developers clearly feel the product is not ready yet.
EA be scareeeeddd. Funny they push the games back that they cannot monopolize (FPS, and RPGs).
They never delay NHL, Madden or FIFA and all those games disappoint their fans on a yearly basis. But, since they know they have the monopoly on those franchises, it doesn't matter what the fans think.
I can't complain too much though. Hopefully they push them back into dates where there would have normally been a gaming drought (summer-ish 2015)
I'm really glad they're delaying Dragon Age 3. The last thing we need is another rush job like Dragon Age 2. I actually liked Dragon Age 2; however, I could talk for hours about its' problems.
COD:Hardline.....thats the name of this game
