EA lowered the damage of paid-for in-game weapon add-ons in the interest of balancing the game, which upset some players who purchased the items.
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!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
I actually play this game (at work of course)
And i have to say EAsy have really screwed this game up and ripped off the Gamers who bought Elite and Veteran weapons.
Gamers paid money for these guns and now they got taken away (or reduced to basic model).
anyway the game is so screwed up now it doesn't matter what gun you have cause now they have so much friggin recoil you cant shoot straight anyway and then
1. You can snipe with USAS-12 and Saiga shotguns. up close sure a shotgun will kill you with one shot but a hundred yards away your taking minimal damage. But NOoooo! People are using Saiga's and USAS like sniper/assualt rifles and getting one shot kills at long distances and when used up close you don't even have to aim you will get the kill even if your back is pointed to them.
2. people running around the map with RPG's fitted with the RPG booster means they just launch RPg's at the ground a few feet away and kill everyone on the screen.
3. Mortar Booster makes the game even MOAR broken cause it allows snipers to just bombard any spot on the map with mortar strikes. so basically capture 3 flags then continuously bombard enemy spawn and the game is over. Snipers are getting 50 kills a round without firing one shot from their rifle or handgun.
at first BFP4F was fun but now it's just a cash grab for EA and everything cost too much and is not a "Purchase Forever" item cause as proven EA will just take stuff away.
Anyone who thought they could purchase victory in the first place was a fool.
