"“Origin sucks!”
"Well, Peter may have asked for it by stating that “we learn from criticism and feedback” but I’m not sure he expected to be heckled by the crowd. I admit I snickered with all the rest, more out of surprise at the confidence and strength of purpose the heckler displayed more than any amusement at the actual statement.
"He handled it well, neither ignoring the obvious nor allowing it to affect his presentation. That is until after showing some videos much of the crowd assumed that was all he had to say and started streaming for the exits, with Peter thinking on his feet and saying quickly that he might as well wrap up there.
"It was frankly embarrassing to watch."
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!"
He should of just said at the end of his presentation
"Well guys it's been fun and all but now lets part with that old EA Sports saying...Get the f*ck out of my building"

Not coming back for another speech next year then?
He should get a tattoo: Australians are rude buggers :)
EB overprices even more than any other store in this country ($120 AUD for MW3? NOPE) which means most people who know they are getting rooted usually import, most of those people would never go to such waste of money expo.
Too bad that some company's are actually thinking that EB shopping gamers are the norm, just shows off the completely wrong impression of this country and we will keep getting rooted with double RRP's forever.
