Coming as a surprise to no one, microtransactions have not died out, and have only become more prominent as time has gone one. With that, the Daily Reaction crew of Seb and Dan discuss the future of the industry and how the gaming landscape will change over time.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
Awesome...
"So this game is Uncharted 4. You can run around for free, but if you want to climb ledges that will be 1.99. Oh and shooting your gun is going to cost you. Ammo cannot be found, but you can buy it off of the PS store. Also, the entire game is in Arabic, but the english translation is available for a meager 14.99. Its only running at 480, but you can upgrade to 720 for 19.99 or full 1080 for 29.99 with 3D thrown in for free!"
I feel like we are going back to the arcade days.
I'm here from the future!
Marty! Marty, this picture of your game collection! All of the EA games are fading out of it!
I don't want to see pay for trophies.
