With the news that swimming pools and toddlers will be missing in The Sims 4, EA and Maxis have assured players that those features will not be forgotten in at least one of the fifty expansion packs that will be released over the next few years.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
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!"
And I bet you that most of these will costs $$ and will be available day 1 to purchase. How the hell is announcing DLC months ahead of game's release an assuring thing? God this company sucks...

50 Expansion Packs for The Sims 4 is not nearly enough for me. I'll only purchase Sims 4 if it has at least a 100 Expansion Packs, 20€ each.
I'm honestly surprised more people aren't raging over this, yeah it might seem...you know, not the worst news we've had in this industry but it's what this whole thing represents, pure greed as we all know they will add these things into expansion packs for more money.
These are the same developers who screwed us over with Sims City and ruined that sequel for us, they added DRM and stripped it of features we loved in past games before trying to defend the shit out of their actions by lying to us thinking we are all idiots. They should of used Sims 4 as a way to win our trust back and pack it full of content in the CORE game.
HOWEVER
In reality this whole thing shows that they obviously haven't learned their lesson and are trying to screw us over YET AGAIN. As I've said toddlers and swimming pools might not seem like a big deal, I get why people might think that I mean when you say it or look at written down on your screen it doesn't seem like a big deal but at it's core and what the whole thing represents it's a huge deal and like I said after the Sim City situation this shouldn't of been happening.
There should of been new customization options for pools, maybe the options to fill it with lava or acid for people who want their "evil" looking houses to look more badass or to be an evil Sim and throw people into it in typical Sim fashion. For Toddlers like someone else said on here there should of been more life cycles added in the Sims 4, not less of them.
Christ sake...seriously it pains me to see people making out like this is no big deal and that they are going to buy Sims 4 day one because they are "real" Sims fans and that's what true fans do.
