EA takes a lot of stick. The company is frequently attacked by outlets across the industry for what is perceived as negative and in some cases manipulative business practices. Whether right, or wrong, this perception has stuck with the company for a long time (they remain the only business in the world to win the coveted Worst Company in America ‘Award’ two years in a row) and based on their treatment of the Harry Potter franchise, it’s easy to see why!
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!"

Truly.
EA should be ashamed.
I actually liked the Harry Potter games but all of the games were basically the same thing over and over again. Run through the castle, do tasks, collect stuff. It's typical EA, they don't have many new ideas. They just pick up the rights to make certain games and make the same game over and over again. Look at their sports games.
Also, i have been a big fan of Simpsons games but since EA got the rights to make those games all we have had is a game that come out after the movie and a mobile game. That is crap. I would love another Simpsons game, before EA took over we had loads of them.
The first 2 (And maybe the third one) were alright. After that, they went to the crapper.
You have a world with so much lore. A world filled loveable characters and a thrilling story.
How do you mess it up?
i waited so LONG for a good hp game :( never got it.....ddreams crushed
Still remember the PS1 games of Harry Potter , they were totally the best
i also hope to see MOH series back to the PS1 era style
