ill never forgive EA for destroying westwood studios and maxis,
FUCK EA
Fuck. Now I have to add Bioware to the pile.
yoyo they found 21 missing people off of that music video. its really a song of hope.
https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2022/oct/31/missing-kids-soul-asylum-runaway-train-tony-kaye-david-pirner#%3A%7E%3Atext=The+football+team+AS+Roma%2Cfrom+the+Runaway+Train+video
Didn't the song out a bunch of people who went missing on purpose and ruin their lives?
from the article:
i don't know the specifics, but that sounds like what they're trying to say very gently. i wouldn't go so far as to say it ruined their lives, but in our experiences (two of my cousins and one niece ran away when they were teenagers) if their lives were ruined it was the shit that caused them to run away that did it.
i know, small sample size, but most people expect their lives to be ordinary. it makes it easy to fall into the logical trap that everyone has the same experiences
Absolutely. Incredible what came from that campaign. The song still fit the tone I wanted for the meme.
Damn it. What's the first one again? I instantly remember the feeling playing this game, but I can't remember...
Thanks for the memories!
EA is exactly the republican party. Destroy everything they touch with loads of bigotry and sheer incompetence.
Are EA bigots? They have always been the epitome of amoral capitalism in the gaming world to me
Given their new owners, it wouldn't be too far off to call them bigots now.
Valid point
Many game companies were bigots. shrugs. Another example is Ubisoft, founded by 5 brothers (no cooties eh), very toxic environment from my experience.
"Woke" was actually a problem with DA4 with how piss poorly the writers handled it, it was embarrassing. Absolutely not bigots
The bigotry is probably a new thing for them then because at least back in the day they didn't give a fuck as long as it made money. Bioware games usually had LGB(perhaps not T, don't remember any) characters, often as romance options and I recall racial justice being a theme in both Mass Effect and Dragon Age games.
But I suspect the new owners don't really want their games to infect anyone with the gays(tm)
They had at least one T.
Ah, I didn't know about that one because I could never get into Inquisition myself. Though it seems to have been well received enough as a game that perhaps I should try it.
Part of me wonders if Krem received less hate than some other Ts in media because the Internet hate machine mostly seems to have it out for MTF rather than FTM folks or because he genuinely had good writing rather than being shoehorned in
Typically MTFs are seen as "misogynistic perverts" and FTMs are seen as "misunderstood lesbians"
Neither are an accurate picture but one is far easier to sympathize with.
I wish it wasn't so hard for people to see them as "folks just living their lives and not affecting mine in the slightest"
Everybody affects everybody else. We absolutely do not live in a vacuum. It's why libertarianism fails.
Good news is that EA self-destructed in the Saudi deal so a few guys at the top could fill their pockets one more time. The debt they loaded EA with will be paid by selling everything. There is no other way. EA can no longer operate and their IPs will go to different studios. Let‘s hope one or two of them treat the franchises a tiny bit more carefully. Maybe. Or it will all be AI slop. Time will tell. But the way I see it EA is toast.
Generals 2 was in the make. There was a promo gameplay video. They fucking canceled it. I'll never forgive them for it.
Litteraly everything they touch, they kill. Either they cancel it or it becomes a pay to win gambling platform which lacks actual content. Enshitification Assholes.
