A message from Mass Effect 3 Executive Producer Casey Hudson in regards to discussion on the conclusion of Mass Effect 3.
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.
"The implication here is that they didn't tell you what happened to individual characters after ME3's conclusion because you already had some idea of their future based on prior events in the game."
And another implantation is that everyone is stranded at around a blasted out Earth away from their homes and unable to complete their futures.
Really hate that devs and publishers seem to feel like they can say anything to excuse obvious, glaring flaws in their games and make people believe it.
Spin, spin, spin the globe.
If he thought there was any indication to what happened to individual characters AFTER the conclusion then he must be a really really bad story teller. Hell, there's not even any decent indication of what happened to the GALAXY let alone individual characters in it. Or did he think the little incoherent dialogue just before the end was enough. It was barely enough for me to realize what path lead to the selection I wanted.
And so is paying 10 to $15 for the DLC. ;)
EA/Bioware anticipated your displeasure with the ending of Mass Effect 3,and has paid DLC waiting in the wings to "fix" it for you.
