EA has published the Extended Version of the stunning Dragon Age II Debut Trailer.
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!"
I'll wait and see on this. I got DA:O 1 on launch day and it was a good game. However it had DLC on the disc, ya they gave you 2 of the 3 free but still. I refuse to buy any game with launch day DLC. I just shelled out $60 and get home to find out if I want the whole game it's another $15.. no thanks
Wow, extended version - looks nice! :)
I'm afraid Dragon Age (and Mass effect to a certain extent) is just another dumbed down, linear, commercially driven *casual game franchise masquerading as an RPG. Despite excellent production values and story-telling, don't be fooled by the RPG tag. Origins was certainly more interactive audio-visual book than RPG and Dragon Age 2 looks set to follow suit.
These games could have been absolute classics if Bioware had stuck to their principles and developed open worlds with abundant exploration, trading, factions, loot, in-depth leveling and flexible micro management - all key elements crucial to true RPGs - and would have sat alongside and challenged the likes of open world greats such as Fallout, Witcher, Elder Scrolls etc. The fact that it falls way short is hugely disappointing... and concerning for all serious gamers and the RPG genre as a whole.
The time spent producing the plethora of drip fed DLC-for-cash snippets should have been spent on developing true RPG masterpieces, and by taking the easier dollar-friendly option Bioware have sold their soul.
* Casual game franchise = appealing to a 'wider audience'.
