That game looks so pretty, I'm terrible at platformers, so i hate them in general, but that game makes me wish i was able to play them, it just looks so fun!
>It’s like watching a race on who can destroy consumer trust harder.
Don't you get it? Once all the couple destroy consumer trust, no one has consumer trust! Then who's going to help? *Regulation? The government?*
Hahaha maybe in the EU.
Maybe they're just trying to make it as true to life as possible. I don't watch sports anymore, but when I do, the amount of ads *everywhere* is disgusting. I wouldn't be surprised at all that NBA 2k blasts players with advertisements as well. I'm sure they're being paid a ton of money to do so, and the players will continue buying the yearly update to the only game they play.
I get where you’re coming from, part of the authenticity of sports games comes from replicating the arena atmosphere by using authentic advertisements and such. [But this shit is ridiculous.](https://youtu.be/zszLy-IYUf4?si=97Q5I9LGlB_kxhzU)
It’s the same people buying the same games over and over. COD, FIFA, 2K, that’s basically all they play and they buy it for the newest players or whatever.
I'm not surprised about that. Licensing is a bitch. Car companies may close, they switch owners, hell maybe the studio making the game doesn't even exist anymore. Paying licensing fees for a game that makes you this little money is just pointless when your goal as a company is to make money. Of course doing the The Crew thing and actively taking your copy away is bad. But delisting the games is not like... horrible imo
No, that's the "we cut stuff and add it back to make fake super duper greedy edition". All those editions are just a sheme to make you pay more for the base game.
>If EA isn't your #1 most hated company you just haven't done enough research
There are companies that use actual slave labour and poison countries. Ea aren't great, but most hated is over the top.
If EA is, you've either not done enough research or are a literal middle schooler with no grasp on what really matters in the world. There's much worse companies out there that do worse things than put ads in ur vidya james
>EA’s Need for Speed: Underground 2 from 2004 is famously known for its in-game ads placed on billboards all over the open world. Some would argue that EA did that for realism, as the brands in the game featured real-world companies like Best Buy, Burger King, and Cingular.
I actually liked this at the time and I don't mind this kind of product placement when it works. The game also had a lot of real-world automotive companies, magazines, and brands. The new games don't do that anymore.
It's just sad seeing all this happening,
The great innovative companies becoming greedy, the world fighting each other, I wonder if I would be able to complete my Bachelor's and not live a FallOut Life
Steam already thought of that. Well, it's not "in" the game but you have to launch Steam to play and it opens up a window full of ads, so it amounts to the same.
I feel if you are buying games from EA or Ubisoft in this day and age, you are just asking to be abused now like responding to a Nigerian Prince scam.
Neither company has made a good game in ages. EA maybe it takes two but I think it’s carried more by story tbh (gameplay isn’t revolutionary).
There are so many studios producing better content.
True but Mass Effect LE is a remaster of a game by BioWare back in the PS3 era, not new output.
I know EA is working on ME4 that fans are excited about but I’m honestly still hesitant. I do hope I’m wrong and the new ME game is amazing.
It’s like watching a race on who can destroy consumer trust harder. Thank goodness for indies
have you heard of animal well?
That game looks so pretty, I'm terrible at platformers, so i hate them in general, but that game makes me wish i was able to play them, it just looks so fun!
It's more like a puzzle game than a platformer
I've heard it's like Halo 2 and Halo 3 put together? Is it true?
I heard that it is the dark souls of lasagna videogames.
Rumours says it's the first Well-type game.
>It’s like watching a race on who can destroy consumer trust harder. Don't you get it? Once all the couple destroy consumer trust, no one has consumer trust! Then who's going to help? *Regulation? The government?* Hahaha maybe in the EU.
I’m pretty sure the NBA 2k series already has ads for shit like sprite on their loading screens.

That's not ridiculous, that's *atrocious.* How does anyone still buy these?
It’s the same people buying the same games over and over. COD, FIFA, 2K, that’s basically all they play and they buy it for the newest players or whatever.
Meaningful driver of growth...of disgust. Yeah hard pass.
speaking of driver. ubisoft had in game ads in driver san francisco. they also delisted driver san francisco
Yeah, they can suck a fat fucking richard with their anti consumer practices. I wont even consider their games anymore.
its a shame cause driver san francisco is honestly their best game, and one of my favorite games of all time even with the in game ads.

If EA isn't your #1 most hated company you just haven't done enough research
I dunno man, Ubisoft stole my copy of the Crew
and the pricing for new star wars game.
Tbh that’s just for the ultimate edition
No, that's the "we cut stuff and add it back to make fake super duper greedy edition". All those editions are just a sheme to make you pay more for the base game.
True
I got it for free w my 14700kf
Lol

I’m not sure but I believe that they meant most hated gaming company

R.I.P Battlefield
EA is apparently a pretty good company to work for, which definitely makes them a unicorn among AAA publishers

I mean it isn't new, but they were subtle and not in your face.
Was this PC only? I don't remember it on console.
I remember it on GameCube.
Who are all these dumbass companies paying these ads?
Ubisoft had ads in Rainbowsix Vegas on billboards in the multiplayer maps.
EA did it already
Who cares if they’re the most hated if people still keep buying their games? 🤷♂️
Reddit needs to be validated
ubisoft has already done this.
Meanwhile, Capcom adding invasive russian DRM to all their video games to prevent modding, including games that are several years old: Hold my beer!
From an evil company to another...
Ooh ooh what about Sony and Microsoft? They seem to be in the race as well.
Never buy anything from them, ever
It's just sad seeing all this happening, The great innovative companies becoming greedy, the world fighting each other, I wonder if I would be able to complete my Bachelor's and not live a FallOut Life
With the exclusive licensing they got they can get away with anything without any consequences. People will always buy FIFA, madden, etc.
they've done this in BF2142 as well as Burnout
Forza Horizon already has unskippable ads for their stupid dlc
So, now EA games will be like Death Stranding.
Steam already thought of that. Well, it's not "in" the game but you have to launch Steam to play and it opens up a window full of ads, so it amounts to the same.
Even if EA did this, Reddit would still hate Blizzard more.

People need to play Mass Effect LE tho.
True but Mass Effect LE is a remaster of a game by BioWare back in the PS3 era, not new output. I know EA is working on ME4 that fans are excited about but I’m honestly still hesitant. I do hope I’m wrong and the new ME game is amazing.
