EA being taken personal – Games, Gaming and Hardware

According to the New York occasions Electronic Arts goes personal in a $55B deal that seems to be principally financed by the Saudi’s.

EA doing probably shady actions?!
Say it ain’t so.

And another person that might get this thread nuked.

Around half the purchase out is from a mortgage utilizing EA (what’s being purchased) as collateral.

TBH I believed EA had some good will in very latest historical past. But now I believe they’re simply on my everlasting “never buy from list” now.

it is a good and dangerous factor
good is that the share holders cant pressure them to place out an unfinished merchandise.
dangerous is perhaps an yearly BF video games which is dangerous.

20+ billion {dollars} in debt should still push that

Well, simple to not purchase any EA merchandise once more

Did EA end dropping the Star Wars IP but?

Isn’t Dragon Age an EA distribution as nicely?

Always unhappy.

Back within the earlier than occasions when video games had been on 64k floppy disks that took many minutes to load right into a C64, the sq. circle triangle of EA was at all times a mark of high quality,

It is.

The solely factor I care about is Mass Effect tbh although. But hey, I can survive with out it.

The concerned consumers are regarding in that they don’t seem to be recognized for being players. Or having dev expertise. Unless Kushner took a UE course or one thing. We’ll see. I’ve not purchased an EA recreation in a really very long time anyway

Technically, Activision / Blizzard was taken personal when purchased by Microsoft and absorbed into Microsoft Games. The firm not has energetic inventory and doesn’t have to file quarterly outcomes. They are only a line merchandise within the a lot larger Microsoft.

But personal fairness virtually at all times sees extra worth in promoting off components than there are within the authentic firm.

Mass Effect is so cooked.

OMFG, you’re not getting BF6?!?!!?! Lol Yuck.

Ive by no means actually been into the shooter video games like that. I believe the final one I actually loved was MAG. Which most individuals dont even bear in mind or performed.

Was telling my guild the opposite day once they requested me if I used to be getting it and mentioned my final FPS was Unreal Tournament in 1999. Lol

I performed a ton of Quake Arena again within the day when it first launched. That was my factor.

UT2k4 instagib Bombing run leagues for me.

Miss pure motion FPS’s with out RPG like development bushes and recreation outlets.

It appears e-sports are literally enormous there now. Might be a stable funding for them I suppose.

See, i beloved bushes.

MAG had totally different class position bushes. Coms had been almost required.

It had squad/platoons and their very own communication.

And 128 vs 128 objective themed battles. ALL ON A PS2. Without lag.

Hard to say, aside from sitting on enormous oil reserves they haven’t been proven to be nice at enterprise.

And solely a barely higher frienemmy than China.
