Ross @ FG: This week on the latest episode of The Finger Guns Podcast, Rossko, Sean, Greg and Paul all weigh in on the GTA Online Diamond Casino controversy with a deep dive into exactly what it’s all about, who it may be attempting to target and whether or not Rockstar are being slightly reckless with their microtransactions, balancing out the argument with Paul and Rossko discussing how it’s actually quite fun to play if you avoid the casino floor altogether. We also try and decipher whether or not EA are holding a Gamescom press conference and have yet another horrendously difficult (for us, anyway) trivia challenge where we may or may not have completely forgotten some classic video game sound effects. We also discuss our impressions of Wolfenstein spin-off Youngblood, the frankly terrifying multiplayer adventure The Blackout Club (you can read Greg’s review here), Horace, Wargroove on PS4 and much more, including video game comfort food.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson stated in a recent EA Earnings Call, that the next Battlefield "it is going to be another tremendous live service.”
Another? ANOTHER?
Is he honestly trying to make out like the last Battlefield was a huge success, not just as a game but as a live service game? I'm sure these guys live in their own echo chambers, they are so far removed from reality or they just like talking out of their arse trying to rewrite history.
Also why say such a tone deaf statement when you know the state of live service games at the minute and how many gamers feel about them. Bigging up the next BF game as live service does not give me any excitement or hype.
This is nothing too new
