Electronic Arts Stumbles in Effort to Ban "DEI Remover" Mod for The Sims 4 - Techopse.com - Trading Enthusiasm for Anger
Electronic Arts (EA), one of the most notorious juggernauts in the Western gaming industry, has long drawn criticism for predatory microtransactions, especially in its yearly sports franchises. But in recent years, EA has cemented a secondary, more damagin...

I want a mod like this for everything. I want any advertisement with a black person or gay couple removed so I don't even see it, whether on my phone, computer, TV. And some community made filter that automatically removes anything with a certain woke score from even appearing in any of my apps or feeds (Spotify, Netflix Amazon etc) as if it doesn't even exist.
One of the potentially virtuous uses for AI. I look forward to whomever develops the DEI filter for life.
I want a mod like that for real life.
I totally want a real time AI ad blocker as well.
Of course the only time EA decides to be the moral arbiter, it's to side with the "capitalism bad! fuck you dad!" left.
How is EA still a juggernaut?
Is it all console players?
I mean, I guess they would be since they pull out of PC-land for nearly a decade.
I never see them in top sales on things like Steam or Epic, and I doubt that many people download EAs own DRMstore.

Split Fiction peaked at 260k concurrents on Steam, and has 96% positive reviews, so looks like it was solid. That said, 4 million sales, retail price of $50, that gives them $200 million maximum. And I guarantee that Madden cost a fraction of what Split Fiction did to make since by all reports Madden 20XX has basically been Madden 20XX-1 with the player names changed for years. But the sports game players keep buying.
Madden and the like?
They will just ban modding altogether. They have infinite ESG bucks. They don’t need yours.
It must really bug them that the only black people in Clair Obscur were only in the prologue, and the one or two black Expeditioners were immediately killed.
they even sent a dmca-takedown against the rpg-hq hosting the mod.
