Why can’t the growth continue indefinitely?
And why is business school a thing?
There was a huge spike in 2020 when people were forced to stay inside. We should chase that high forever.
That’s the responsibility of EA’s biochem division
Ubisoft’s gonna be next
And nothing of value was lost. Sure EA has published a few gems in recent years, but as a developer it’s all sports games and Battlefield. The talent isn’t at EA, it’s at the developers they have been supporting. If we’re lucky, the leveraged buyout will result in anything good owned by EA being sold off for parts and the worthless husk of EA saddled with the debt and left to go bankrupt.
Who know, maybe the license to make Star Wars games will go somewhere that isn’t dead set on fucking it up as hard as possible to meet the Christmas season deadline.
Star Wars is not exclusively listened to EA anymore. The original deal between Disney and EA was slated for 10 years of exclusivity, signed in 2013. However, after several PR disaster (mainly the Battlefront 2 controversies), Disney apparently terminated the exclusivity contract when they announced Star Wars: Outlaws would be published by Ubisoft in 2020. Of course, that game released in 2024, so, I guess EA technically got their 10 years?
I don’t know of any other projects pending, though I’ve fallen off tracking gaming news that closely in recent years, so I could be mistaken.
I’ll admit, I hadn’t tracked it that closely and didn’t know the details. I was just being glib. Thanks for the info.
Good, I want to see EA burning down in flames.
I’d much rather Saudi Arabia buying EA than the US government.
Maybe Valve could buy them.
