gamerblorge.com: EA is ditching printed games manuals for all its titles. Does anyone actually care about games manuals anymore? Or even look at them for that matter?
Electronic Arts (EA) recently announced it is going to ditch games manuals completely. From now on none of its PC, PS3, or Xbox 360 titles will come with a printed game manual, with a digital on-disc manual being provided instead. Fight Night Champion and the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2 were the first games to be affected, and the initiative will continue going forward.
Today EA hosted its Investors Day, and Chief Executive Officer Andrew Wilson talked about the company's dedication to generative AI.
He's so excited to layoff more employees for FAKE STUPIDITY computer programing to replace them.
Hopefully EA takes a nosedive just like Ubisoft is currently doing. Lack of money is the only thing that can hurt them and possibly change them.
Of course it is. EA has been lazy for years. Profiting for investors and themselves without putting in the work. Having AI write code or build graphics for them just makes them even more lazy.
I'd laugh if those same investors built "executive code" and got rid of EA's CEO and board of directors and replaced them with AI.
Today Electronic Arts hosted its Investors Day and its executives shared what's next for the Battlefield franchise.
ohh god, here we go!
This is exactly why the gaming industry is failing. It's now an industry of suits "trying to find the fun".
...I'll help you out a little, If you're trying to find it, then it's not fun and neither are you. move on!
Honestly, get them to sit down and play Bad Company 2 together.
If they can't see why that had the magic, they shouldn't be game developers.
The CEO of EA has iterated his massive ambitions about the next Battlefield entry in the new Q1 2025 financial results.
It ain't Bad Company 3 ... so stop false-promising ... but make it current-gen only plz ... it'll be 2025 ffs
More intentionally released broken games with micro-trash-actions, and of course fake apologies written by ChatGPT instead of doing it yourself because you don't give a crap if you sell people garbage for their hard earned money.
Ass.
Isn't that the whole point of having a "series" of games? Isn't the follow-up supposed to be inherently better or "more ambitious" than the previous entries? Unfortunately, this has not been the case for Battlefield in quite some time. I've still never even redeemed the free BF 2042 code I got a year and a half ago lol. Such a shame, used to be one of my favorite shooters back in the day.
I don't care, I've never really bothered with manuals and it's better for the environment.
I haven't opened a game manual in years. I have internet for all the info I need on games.
I don't think it will have any noticeable impact on the environment at all, and I therefore don't want EA to make people think that's why they're cutting it, but I don't mind that they're ditching manuals really.
Even though they sometimes can be good to have.
Now what I am supposed to read while taking a shit?
it depends on the game. RPGs always benefit from a game manual
