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.
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.
I know its not a bad game. Its just lacking content at the moment. One of the best fighting mechanics with great gameplay I've played in a long time.
That's the thing, the game should not be at this point where PEO are justifying it.
$60 is a lot of money to pay for an incomplete game.
For $60, yes it is. Failed. Sorry Capcom, you blew your chances of getting $60 x2 (had both PS4 and PC versions pre ordered) from me on release day with this stunt. Now, a used copy in the Summer is fine with me and skip the PS4 version all together.
The game is amazing to play with others but if your looking for SP content for story or anything like that, they released it too early.. I love the gameplay and the graphics but the content is lacking.. This is 2016 and theres only 16 or so fighters? I know more is coming but this game was released too early imo.. $60 for an incomplete title is unacceptable as much as i love SF.. What the hell has modern gaming become? These devs have a blu ray disc that can be filled with so much content yet they put in the minimum and have you download the rest later when its ready..
Im just going to start buying games when theyre on sale because all the patches and content will be available right away.. Buying day one is like getting a draft copy.. Like i said, its great to play with others but when everyone else isnt around, theres nothing to keep you playing.. Im putting this game away for a while and going to play my backlog of titles.. Im so behind on vita, 3DS, & Wii U games that June will be here and i can play the completed version of this game.. Even then, Dark Souls 3 and other games that are complete will be out smh..
