Games

Booooo EA Suuuuuuuuucks, it's always sucked, it's always gonna suck. As far as my purchasing power goes, this changes nothing. Rot in hell EA

This will suck so fucking hard

I can't start boycotting a company that I've been boycotting for well over a decade.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb.

Support indie devs.

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?

I have not given EA my money since Sim City. They should have died after that point, yet the lifeless beast lumbers on.

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.

To be fair, it probably won’t suck any more than EA games have for the past… er… ten years?

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.

LOL these people are geniuses! I thought I’d never want to have anything to do with EA Games and they managed to find a way to make it easier.

Stable Diffusion made one blip and the technology, everything it stood for was a joke before and after that that single blip. The fact that someone gave that tech the time of day is ridiculous.

oh great since humans wont be working on it there will be no reason for it to cost money right?

"Making games with AI" sounds like hell… like this is what hell must be.

Sitting there prompting AI, getting shitty ass results, prompting it again and again until you eventually settle for slightly less shitty results. The frustration and the loss of agency… oh God, someone should make a psychological horror about this: a frustrated artist forced to ditch their skills and tools and use AI to bring their unique vision to life, and throughout the film you watch them descend deeper and deeper into madness and depression until they burn down a data center and laugh manically as it disintegrates around them.

fuck ea I should have stop buying years ago

if isnt already bad enough that SAUDIA arabia and kushner owns it.

yes ea please kill off your whole company, good riddance.

The industry finally embraces procedural textures, in the dumbest way possible.

LOL Good thing I am going to continue my boycott of anything EA, I can't wait to see how hard this is going to fail.

EA is the world's shittiest game company. Just gutter trash all the way through.

What a fucking surprise.

Who fucking asked for that? WHO??!!
