As part of its commitment to making gaming as accessible to as many people as possible, EA has pledged 23 new patents to share across the industry via its accessibility portal.

This is to give legitimacy to their other patents which aren’t open source. Most things they try to patent have existed for a long time and will mostly be used as an intimidation tactic. Patents in gaming are a cancer.

EA is trying to build what Nintendo has in Japan.

EA lost its reputation but objectively they’ve been trying to undo that. Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor, while stuttery, had no micro transactions or online requirements, Dead Space remake was as simple as possible, Dragon Age ditched live service plan and was released in a very polished state, NFS Unbound just got a new update and has been well supported. The games may not be 10/10 or exactly what gamers wanted, but they’ve been trying to put their head down and do the work.

As long as they can keep milking sport gamers normal people can get okay games I guess.
