I can't remember the last EA game I purchased, and I have no idea if they've made anything worthwhile in years, but I will say this... they have some of the best customer support I've ever interacted with.
After 15 minutes with the tech specialist I had my issue resolved and they were kind, informative and patient about the matter. It was the complete opposite of Ubisoft, who doesn't even have a customer support phone number, and no way to actually talk to anyone. I wasted six months going back and forth with different pajeets who couldn't do the most basic of things (such as checking account records and login data).
Maybe one day EA will start making games as good as their tech support, and start pumping out fun titles again, like Skitchin', Road Rash and Desert Strike.
They were one of the few companies that paid all the licensing fees to have real players names and team logos in sports games in the mid 1990's. So i think EA built their brand off their lineup of pro-sports related games.
In the 2000s I think other games began to innovate the gameplay better and EA lost its edge while other companies came out with better football, baseball, basketball games.
I'm guessing EA began venturing into other game genres and didn't do so well. They are also probably another jew controlled wokeTard corporation.
This is so very true. I had an unhealthy obsession with NHL '94 on the Mega Drive. The Pittsburgh Penguins were pretty overpowered in that one.
Mutant League Football was another cool sports title that helped set EA apart as the edgy publisher back in the day. One thing I thought was cool was that in their early college football games on the OG Xbox they would actually say the names of your created players if their name was already part of the audio commentary library.
But you're absolutely right that EA managed to make bank doing annual releases with little to no changes (or adding a feature and then taking two away every other year). Other companies leveraged this and then it became a race for who could make the most derivative sports game each year.
At one point they were super money hungry, buying up studios, churning out corposlop for a quick buck and then shutting studios down if they weren't producing billion dollar output. But then they went woke, and started churning out corpo-tier wokeslop for the "modern audience", which was even worse than the standard corposlop.
Opposite for me. I asked ea for a region change for a game i bought because the languages were locked and they told me to fuck off. Ubisoft acted tough for a bit but relented and gave me a different version of the game.
I know, it's weird considering the DECADES of reasons to hate EA, but I don't really dislike them as much nowadays....
...not while Ubisoft still breathes..
Ubisoft exists so EA won't be the shittiest studio.
Basically, I'll hate EA more when we have Ubisoft's scalp..
...or if they fuck up that Mass Effect show, if they make an ugly Tali I'm levelling a studio!
True. Ubisoft must fall for the good of humanity. 2K as well while we're taking scalps.
At this point I'm afraid it's almost 100% guaranteed Tali will be ugly...probably insufferable as well. 😑
You'll get an ugly Tali that's obviously a black chick in makeup and a Miranda that's flat as a board. No refunds!
Nooooooo!!!!
If they make an insufferable ugly Tali
For the Emperor!!!!!
