GT: Michael Pachter explains what it will take to fill John Riccitiello’s shoes.
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.
SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
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!"
For a Second there, I thought Patcher was going to be EA's next CEO.
Well this is a sign that the EA/Sony partnership was a disaster it idnt bring in the revenues they wanted, now they are looking at a EA/MSpartnership and xbox ceo don mattrick to save the company.
It will take a miracle if you ask me.. EA's profits must be pretty high with all their DLC garbage, pre order bonuses and premium memberships giving you access to games early.
For the next CEO, not only does he have to exceed fairly unrealistic expectations from shareholders, it's also extremely important for him and the company as a whole to reconnect with gamers. While it might unfair for them to gain the Worst company in America award, it still shows that there are many gamers out there who really hate them enough to vote and sorry but Peter Moore's response is just not going to cut it if EA are going to try and regain some trust from the people who voted for them.
As it stands, I think EA are the perfect example of a faceless company motivated by nothing but greed and they just can't keep this up next gen if they want to meet shareholders expectations. The Sims 4 is about to be announced and it should be something I'm excited for but after the abysmal effort on Sim City, I have little to no excitement for a new Sims game.
Mattrick, eh.. has interesting implications on the EA/MS relationship.
As much as I disagree with Pachter a lot of the time, I still find what he has to say fascinating.
