    It’s like all these “smart” businesspeople can’t read simple opinion polls.

    Most people hate degenerative AI.

    Most people avoid products that have it.

    Adding degenerative AI to EA’s games will worsen their condition, not improve it.

    If the recent examples of Google and Microsoft are any indication, they’re going to lay people off and just stop doing QA. Everything I use from Google and Microsoft has been buggy as hell of late.

    Just so I’m clear, this move entails:

    Get a massive loan, use it to buy a company, take the money back from the company, saddle the company with the debt for it’s own purchase, scrap it for parts and let it go bankrupt?

      Considering it’s EA, this might actually be a good thing for the world.

    hear me out.

    EA has a huge distribution network that requires clients to be installed on the users system along with login IDs.

    considering Kushner is involved he likely has the connections to gain access to the American data mined by DOGE and can orchestrate identifying Americans off of the subset of data from EA and DOGE.

    EA has loose morals enough to participate with a fascist government but never had the opportunity until this happened.

    considering 17% of all gamers are LGBTQ and many others are ASD, I’m concerned EA is going to surveil and notify based on users habits and online interactions.

    I suppose only time will tell, but something feels very weird about this whole thing.

    My last remaining spark of hope for a Mass Effect game that isn’t completely fucked just died. Let’s hope that Exodus will scratch that itch for me…
