    Well that’s unfortunate news. I could think of nothing greater than the EA C-suite never making a decision in the industry ever again.

    Don’t forget that EA is saddled with 20 billion dollars of debt and it’s board is filled with vultures. As far I can see, EA is going to be gutted and sold for parts. All this talk of creative control is bullshit considering, they are banking on ‘AI’ to cut costs, which is not exactly considered to be creative. Also, I am pretty certain this bet is going to fail hard.

    Yeah, EA is completely fucked.

      Yea, that’s my opinion

      EA is about to be destroyed… But it’s been a shell for 15 years, so I’m not worried

    How does a company exercise “creative control” when there is no discernable creativity to be seen?

      They fire the developer who says “2+2=4” and hire the one who says “2+2=5”… then the hired developer is absolutely free to say his/her “5” anytime they want until EA doesn’t roll a new formula. (they is fire&hire again)
