Fuck EA. I’ll never forgive them for Westwood.
Hell yeah, and maxis, them ruining command and conquer and sim city is unforgettable. I hope EA as a company burns to the ground.
I will, in turn, be very thoutful about buying any of your games.
EA Ads, they’re in the game!
The game better be free. I’m not paying to see ads. No chance. I’ll find a copy on the high seas that has that bullshit removed.
It may not be, because no amount of money is ever enough for a wealthy neoliberal. You could pay $200 in pure profit for a game and there will still be slimy executives saying “We could make that $201 if we showed them ads and $202 if we sold their data”
Let’s add EA to the list of companies I’m boycotting.
Oh? What a coincidence; it was already there.
Cocks a Cola! The official sponsor of this refreshing boycott is proud to announce a whole new cock flavor! Try cherry cock! And the all new mango cock!
This just in…cock!.. Cock is not how you pronounce it? Couck? Oh okay, I’m sorry. But how about Pecksi? Pa pa pa pa pa! I’m loving it! So eat fresh papayas!
I don’t get people bringing Coca Cola when talking about a company fucking its consumer in the ass (here is a cock analogy for you, you seem to like those). Boycotting Coca Cola because it’s a company with terrible practices on their employees will probably not work because it doesn’t affect the consumer experience. It’s not like Coca Cola puts lead in its product or some shit that might affect the taste. Here the company reduces the quality of its product. For instance, boycotting Roku because they put ads in their HDMI cables that triggers when the user hits pause would probably work because it makes the experience shitty.
If you think boycotting doesn’t work with gaming, you haven’t paid much attention recently.
I will continue to not play EA games. Business as usual.
I’ve got a game that I purchased on Steam during a sale that sat in my backlog for a while before I went to install it. But checked the reviews again first and saw complaints about the EA launcher and realized “oh no shit, it’s a star wars game, of course that’s EA” and installed a different game instead.
I was then just tempted by a massive sale on mass effect complete edition (actual name might be wrong, but one that includes most or all of the games in one package). Like it is pretty much at the automatic buy level, but again looked at reviews and saw complaints about the EA launcher and moved on instead.
Though now I’m wondering if there’s a workaround or something to de-EA their games.
Pirate them
