yes ea please kill off your whole company, good riddance.
The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.
fuck ea I should have stop buying years ago
We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb.
Support indie devs.
Support the open source devs. Spring engine games!

Clearly the fix the AAAA games.
This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them.
The only wrinkle in this is that Trump’s son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they’ll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.

More likely snatched up by VC to put them on (fuck) ICE or passed around to other AI companies until they’re really good and dead.
Just so people know, you can ignore games by publisher in steam by searching their name in the store, clicking their page, then click the gear icon to ignore. EA who? Ubiwhat?
Ubishit.
I’ve had EA on ignore for years (whenever they demanded we switch to Origin) and they still showed up on my front page during the last sale !
For those that don’t know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, they shed all their devs/projects worth anything, and now with Qwen/Longcat SAI is beyond obsolete.
Apparently EA didn’t get the message. They invested in a broken, burning company who’s only decent results are free and old?
…Sounds about right.
FLUX.1 and WAN were already miles beyond Stable Diffusion a year ago. While America has been pushing capitalistic goals with LLMs, China has been releasing banger model after banger model, all as open-source.
Downside is it’s China and comes with their own biases, both with image generation and politics within its text models. Fortunately, some of that can be re-trained back to normal, but the technology is moving so fast.
I can’t start boycotting a company that I’ve been boycotting for well over a decade.
Last thing I bought from them was Mass Effect (only the first one) circa 2008 I think.
Carry on, sir.
Double boycott
So, repeatedly buy and return games?
Will my steam account get banned if I pre-order every one of their games, click play for 5 minutes then instantly refund? I have my faith, but I don’t know if they’d see that as abuse of their refund policy.
Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.
I don’t want to punish my computer by installing origin.
if isnt already bad enough that SAUDIA arabia and kushner owns it.
Sure, why not? Its up to gamers to dump them, and only time will tell how this will evolve.
It also comes to the point replacing employees with AI.
EA is the world’s shittiest game company. Just gutter trash all the way through.
This is not going to end well.
This will suck so fucking hard
Just look at skate. Now imagine that but somehow worse and even uglier
The tagline of everything EA has touched for years now.
I mean it’s definitely gonna be entertaining, but I’ll watch that embarrassment from afar.
For them
It wont if you dont buy their shit.
To be fair, it probably won’t suck any more than EA games have for the past… er… ten years?
Respawn still made some pretty fun games. But errr yea that’s pretty much it.
15+ BF3 was when I made my vow to stop supporting them for releasing unfinished buggy ass games.
What are these ass games you are talking about? Im willing to look past them being buggy.
I don’t know what they’re taking about. Amarillo’s Butt Slapper isn’t published by EA.
Sorry. Time flies.
