Yo, remember when Disney gave EA exclusivity to Star Wars licensing, and for the duration of that exclusivity contract they rebooted one classic online multi-player shooter and then made a sequel that was one of the worst received games of the year and set the record for the highest dislike ratio on YouTube prompting Google to remove the dislike counter?
Apparently the Disney board doesn't. Maybe someone should remind them.
Not even any tie-in games for the sequel movies, just a DLC map.
I remember the sense of Pride and Accomplishment everyone got from that game back then.
Disney removes your legal right to dislike things
I believe Disney remembered the important part of the story; everyone still somehow managed to get rich at our expense.
But EA clearly know how to rake in money with the yearly version of SportsGame ~~2021~~ ~~2022~~ ~~2023~~ 2024. They are expected to make just as much cash by releasing the exact same movie every year. Who knows, maybe they'll add microtransactions.
Corporate shitbag musical chairs is the worst game
Fuck EA.
yes, and disney
next Disney movie will release the first 30 minutes at movie theater with the last hour and additional characters as DLCs.
You forgot to mention the DLC will only be available through paid "surprise mechanics" (lootboxes)
But think of your sense of accomplishment in getting the legendary ending.
The Aristocrats!
The corporate world absolutely idolizes the grift. Being able to "produce value" (=make more money while actually not producing anything more) is the only game left. Shareholders look at something like EA that releases the same old Madden year after year while making money hand over fist, and they fucking salivate.
Edit: and BTW, you know one giant group that grifts profit while producing nothing for the economy? Landlords.
Time to emulate one of Disneys greatest heros - Captain Jack Sparrow.
Man it's weird how things happen. I was literally just listening to Bo Burnhams "funny feeling" this morning and he has a line about "Robert (Bob) Igers face" and I thought hmm I actually don't get that, I don't know who he is. Then I open Lemmy and see this lol
Hahaha, I say do it.
This went so well last time
