In an email to employees, Andrew Wilson thanked them for making EA's "historic" deal possible.

Right…

At least they (hopefully) won’t be getting even worse?

Sure, they’ll just now promote games where Nazis and religious fundies murder journalists and gender minorities

“We value taking advantage of young children with lootboxes, pay to win, loads of DLC’s to make games have actual content (still shit) and to find new ways to extort kids out of even more money than we have done so far. We believe our new leadership consisting of an extremist genocide supporting asshole and a regime where stoning women is normal won’t change our values but would only support them.”

Their bottom line of money making remains unchanged. Now, Kushner and the Saudi Royal Family will also be involved… and this is a mess waiting to happen.

Absolute BS from Wilson here.

Well, okay then. I doubt that I have any EA games on my roster, but I’ll go through and give it a diligent scrubbing, just to be on the safe side.

Before they bought EA: EA is literally the devil.

After they bought EA: Great, there goes our EA!

Well there was just some base level of hope in the back of some people’s minds that one day they might get their shit together and now that hope is entirely gone.

Well, that’s quite the bold-faced lie.

My 11+ year old boycott of EA is looking smarter & smarter every day.

I’m not getting it at this point. I was already hesitant as it was the only thing keeping me in Windows 11 but now that it’s also coming with Kushner root kits - I’m out.

“I mean, they can’t get any worse, right?”

Spoiler alert: They can.

Don’t buy anything from EA, ever again.

Well yeah cause their company values are all just money and ways to make even more money. Nothing else.

So you’ll continue being a money sucking ghoul who infects my hobby with more and more micro transactions for things that should have been shipped with the game in the first place?

Phew, I was worried there for a sec I might have to credit SA or a fucking Kushner for fixing one of the shittiest publishers in gaming, nice to know they can remain on “pirate if it looks good” list.
