Oh no! What will I do without EA games?
Oh wait, the same thing I’m currently doing. Not even playing them when they’re free on Gamepass.

how will I cope wothout playing the latest shit football game that’s the same or. maybe even worse than the one from last year?
I once made the mistake of buying the EA Pass (or whatever it’s called) on a discount. The entire catalog was nothing but 5-10 year old games. The only new games in the catalog were the two worst titles to put in your shitty pass: Battlefield 2142 and fucking FIFA.
2042 or 2142? Many a night was spent boarding titans.
The newer, shittier one. (So 2142 I think)
Not that big of a deal for me. I refuse to buy EA games.
So Say We All!
Unexpected Battlestar Galactica.
So say we all.
If only their single player games were available without their shitty DRM.
Pirates of the Caribbean music intensifies
Reposting my other comment from another thread:
How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week… like… I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won’t go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.
These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn’t run on your computers is out of your control.
Which raises the point, why don’t they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

Because anti-cheat isn’t the point. They’re trying to get you used to installing invasive spyware on your machine in exchange for a little temporary Privelege.
Stopped buying EA games, Activision/blizzard, ubisoft games a long time ago, don’t have to worry about this shit most of the time.
I wish Steam would allow us to ignore whole publishers instead of only specific games. Or at least let me filter them out in the shop when I’m looking for sales.
Same, though I’ve played some of the older AC games from Ubisoft. Other than that, their games aren’t interesting to me.
From my point of view: Bad for EA. No run on Linux or Steam Deck? No purchase.
I miss Maxis.
Bad news for EA.
Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games
Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)
Nothing of value has been lost.
Fuck EA, I already don’t buy their games because of their bullshit launcher. This will keep me not buying their game even more.
Well, I never intend on paying for any EA title anyway, so I suppose I don’t need to worry about it.
Oh no! Anyway…
They’re Evil Arseholes, what’d you expect.
Never been so happy to not care about AAA
AAA just means the publisher is a mid sized or major publisher. Which means literally nothing in today’s time.
Look at 90% of all ‘AAA’ games today and compare it with eg. Minecraft, which is basically an Indie game. Which is better? Of course, back in 2000 AAA games were good, look at HL and later HL 2, Portal etc. Could be just Valve tho.
The only EA game I ever enjoyed was NHL 98 on snes. It didn’t have anti cheat.
