If done well, the Taliban option can give gamers a whole new sense of respect for the men and women fighting them in real life.
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?
LOL, interesting take on the heated topic!
Kudos
"If done well, that Taliban option can give gamers a whole new sense of respect for the men and women fighting them in real life. That would be an enormous accomplishment for anything. In any media."
Somehow, I doubt that's what the devs have in mind.
In COD4 American soldiers also get killed. Just accept that some will be offended and get on with it, not everyone needs to be praising or condemning the game. The buzz around the Taliban being playable reminds me too much of the fake protests that EA set up for Dante's Inferno.
i don't get whats all the fuss about, first of all we already had a game were you could play as an terrorist "insurgent" vs US marine core
its called Insurgency its a HL 2 mod it has maps of iraq pakistan and afghanistan nobody said anything about the game and it was released in 2007 when USA was already fighting iraq & afghanistan this Medal Of Honor damage has to stop
It's just a character skin, EA isn't exactly asking you to be-head somebody here.
