And nothing of real value to gamers will be lost.
Once again, the fucking suits.
Private Equity 101, “buy” a business using borrowed money, put all the debt on the company you “bought”, slash costs, sell off assets, have the company declare bankruptcy and take all the debt with it, rince and repeat… Profit.
Nobody has ever been able to explain to me why this is legal
And as if that wasn’t an insult to the middle class, people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos can borrow against their stock holdings as if they were real assets, yet never be taxed on the value. But if you borrow against the value of your house, YOU get taxed on that value.
It makes rich people richer
EA, it’s in the grave.
🤞please sell off BioWare so i can play Mass Effect again.
Nothing’s stopping you from playing mass effect.
Why does everyone want sequels so badly? Are you all so attached to your nostalgia?
Without more content, the franchise will die.
Found Jared Kushner.
Been playing Electronic Arts games since the 1980’s.
Even if they are a shit company, Nice knowing ya.

I remember in the before times. When EA made decent games and we were all young, full of hope for the future, life and love were new.
Just trimming some fat (and a leg or two)
“We’re going to have AI write all the games now”
~ some execThey’re not a game company anymore. It’s getting the Toys R Us treatment. They’re a debt vehicle. They’re gonna borrow against its value, place all the debt into EA while pocketing the cash, and let it die.
If we’re lucky, they’ll sell off the studios and IP before cutting it loose.
AI told me we can do it!
In this whole ordeal that has been EA … I can’t remember a single instance where they tried to do the right thing by listening to the consumer, or employees for that matter.
It’s amazing they are still around even. Die quicker pls.
They own the rights to madden and college game day, those two alone can keep the doors open
Fifa games…
And Madden, EA Sports, it’s in the game
The sheer power of licensing hey
People are still buying EA:s unfinished games? Wow.
I admit that they got me a few times, but I quickly learned not to buy from them again.
The sports games keep the lights on.
Sims is also an absolute juggernaut in very different circles from Madden and FIFA
I never forgot how EA destroyed battle field
Oligarchs oligarching. Every “publisher” and “developer” is firing everyone and are gonna very quickly vanish once it’s remembered that perpetual motion is impossible.
The Mass [Layoff] Effect
The offices are now just a Dead Space.
Former engineers are referred to as Apex Legends.
This is great news, soon there will be no EA!
EA died a long time ago.
Yet the zombie still harasses us.
It think they were talking about the undead monster one.
I know, I know and everyone defines a different time when it happened. But it’s time for the zombie to… leave.
Perfect timing and a fitting fate, considering they are now owned by blood oil kings and nazi’s
So no change, really.
It would be if not all the wrong people profited from it.
Maybe that’s a good thing. Maybe the last thing they would do is sell off the up to better firms.
