We've seen things like these in the past. I'm really not surprised that something like this happened, it seems to me like you either get something for free from them or get nothing you deserve to get from them. Really, it's a shame.
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.
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.
It's typical EA stuff. What's new?
I'm not even reading the article, I already know EA support is retarded, just as Nintendo support is rude, Microsoft support is pushy and Sony support is slow. The only good customer support I've had is from Konami and From Software. Anyway, that's my experience.
I find this is one of those instances where EA just fucked up and got some bad press, but it seems like those instances are happening more often. EA needs some good PR to make up for their Customer Service mishaps or just fix the mishaps all together.
I tried to ask them about a re-creation of a game and they told me that don't take any advice from people that's not in the industry. Unless I have a tech demo, my idea will not be heard. I thought that GAMERS, the reason they have a job, should be heard.
My Idea: A new Def Jam fighting title like Def Jam Fight For New York
Well, you win some you lose some. Thanks EA for the response
