Beyond the woke shit they do EA has been an anti-consumer dumpster fire for as long as I've been aware of them (about 12 years now). I was (and still am) a huge Sims 3 player, and there's all kinds of unethical shit they did with that over a decade ago even if it doesn't hold a candle to the shit they do now. They also destroyed the SimCity franchise by sabotaging SimCity 2013 and then scapegoating Maxis so they would have an excuse to destroy it. I played SimCity 4 which was decent, and SimCity 2000 was released before Maxis was bought out. For those of you who are older or have been following this stuff longer than I have, was EA ever a good company or have they been scamming their customers from the beginning?

It was a great time. A wonderful time. A time of intros that say "EA Games. Challenge everything." A time of yellow tabs on Sega cartridges. Login requirements weren't on the minds of developers. ToS at the beginning of games were non-existent. If you wanted to play against other players, they had to be right next to you. Shit talking was face to face and not censored.
Times have changed, young one. Now we pray for the death of this hobby.
