Gamersoutlook.com writes "Rage Quitting not something new, but unfortunately is has become an growing annoyance during online gaming. Imagine every runner in the 100m race quit after they saw Usain Bolt in the lineup, it would defeat the purpose of the competition."
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!"
Depends on the game. For shooters e.g. COD I couldn't care less but playing SWTOR doing flashpoints it's annoying to have some dude just quit and have to look for another member and start the whole FP over again.
Rage quitting has become an even bigger deal since the introduction of stat-tracking. People just have to quit now or else their stats may reflect their actual gaming abilities!
I am very happy I haven't ran into any rage quitters on SWTOR. It is such a pain to find a group in the first place.
we are all guilty of this.
I try my hardest no to. But when you make some else Rage Quit its just priceless lol
Yes, it is ruining online gaming. In games like League of Legends/DotA/etc, missing one player on a team is likely to influence the whole game. In MMOs, it can be quite annoying when someone in a party simply leaves at some point during an instance; which often leads to the party disbanding (well, for PUGs anyway) if a replacement is not found in a short delay. It is also an annoyance in shooters that do not have a drop-in/drop-out feature. I don't really care about it in 1v1 games (like a fighting game); but in team-based games, it can affect the experience of the whole team and in some cases, should be a bannable offense if done on a regular basis.
