"Video game, always online, account hacks are something that you hear about quite often in the current stream of gaming, but getting hacked is something that you never quite expect to happen to you. This was me before today. Typically, I would assume that these people that got hacked were somehow at fault themselves, maybe they clicked on a phishing link, maybe they have contracted a virus. But, now that it’s happened to me, someone with a degree in Network Security, I know that it can happen to anyone out of the blue. This is my (Attack On Gaming's) story."
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
Mine actually got hacked about 2 months ago, and I had no problem getting refunded my ~$200. Good customer service for me at least.
Getting Origin is a terrible experience, to begin with.
My account got hacked last week, all fraudulent purchases (FIFA15 among other games) were refunded. Only problem is that according to EA, whoever used my account to purchase FIFA15 did not respect FIFA15's ToS, so they closed my Origin account.
I'm still trying to dispute the closure of my account, hopefully they can sort this out...
Origin is Spyware anyway.
I hate Uplay.
origin has actually improved alot.
Example I played BF3 on hacked servers and totally stayed away from Origin until BF4 came out and I haven't had any major gripes about Origin. (paid for BF3 so don't even start that pirate crap)
Origin is far from Steam but it's better than Uplay which seems to have used Gfwl as a model because Uplay sucks.
