Sure they cry about the saudis but all they did was throw some token resistance and then proceeded to suck em off and shill the next sims game. Meanwhile when harry potter was on the line these faggots came out with pitchforked raised ready to ruin lives.

I'm a poor fuck who stopped playing AAA games after my outdated PC could no longer play them even at lowest settings and now stick to unoptimized indie games and am not caught up with news on AAA games and studios. What does this spell for older EA franchises and titles like Command and Conquer and Need for Speed (up to 2012 Most Wanted)?

>>1820822 >Command and Conquer If Dawn of War 4 pulls some good numbers, I suspect it will receive a sequel or a remake of one of previous games >Need for Speed I don't know, F2P GAAS racing game ?

>>1820822 Not much really At worst more mobileshit At best some passionate devs will use the chaos inside the company in it's deathbed to provide more releases like the Remaster and the Source code of C&C These companies aren't in the business of videogames anymore anon, they're in the business of legalized child gambling. Also, here's a nice gist of modern AAA.

>>1819486 Nice. >>1820891 I think, besides faithful remasters or source releases slipping out, we might see someone purchase rights to some of the good licensed games EA made and work to get the IP holder to agree to re-release them (possibly the other way around, or the IP holder just grabbing it directly). Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Simpsons (Road Rage+The Game), and Eurocom Bond games (N64 World is Not Enough, Agent Under Fire, Nightfire, Everything or Nothing)+From Russia with Love all have stuff worth a re-release. A faithful Nightfire re-release with keyboard+mouse controls, online MP, and custom weapon sets would be fun >>1820891 What is the last AAA released in a playable state anyways?

>>1822327 >Bond >LoTR >Harry Potter >Simpsons Not happening, the licensing costs must be insane and I doubt any of these companies have the source code. >What is the last AAA game released in a playable state Hogwarts Legacy funnily enough

>>1819486 Meanwhile Atari is trying to make a comebak. buy Atari stock

>>1822595 Totally different company wearing the skinned mask of Atari's face, but yes their new CEO is taking them much more seriously. Thought bought Nightdive and, more interesting if you're an industry person, MobyGames. However I don't like their buying spree, that's the Jack Welch style of corporate administration and often ends poorly.

>>1824242 >See also: Payday Devs being greedy, Modern gacha FOMO, anything with lootboxes. Modern gaming is that predatory.

>>1825373 It's just good business and if nothing else the semite has a genetic pre-disposition to good business.

>>1825373 Sorry I couldn't resist posting this type of meme. It's not about whether EA will remain woke or become based, but that EA will be hollowed out into a shell of a company. Expect massive firings and liquidations.

>>1825485 Asset stripping has always been good business.

>>1825260 Nigger EA is paying the vig! This isn't about consumers, that's the terms of a leveraged buyout.

>>1825485 Saudi Arabia says they're pro-ESG, they shape their economy based on ESG, they demonstrated they're pro-ESG in other video game companies, but yes, I'm sure that they'll make an exception for EA. EA will change. They'll start using AI tools, some people who have needed to get gone for the longest time will get gone, but if you expect them to fundamentally change their nature, you're gravely mistaken. The only thing they care about is Muslims being portrayed well. They were behind the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 woke slop. That's what you're going to get from EA. It is funny how the progressive agenda that was all in our heads is now very real, and they're terrified that Saudi Arabia will get rid of it.

>>1825956 >They were behind the Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 woke slop Why would they enforce adding a nigger from Mali when they can't stand them and the character he's based on is an actual Arab? Sounds more like Larry The Enforcer.

>>1820116 Still would've been an ugly globohomo mess, but the skinsuits would at least be on sexier characters. The game takes place in a post great reset world and actively celebrates it by starting on the tricentennial of said great reset.

>private equity leveraged buyout for EA lol, lmao even

>>1832912 Thanks for sharing this, anon!

I question why PE firms are even legal. Literally all they do is buy up assets and either rentseek ("management fees") or flip them for a profit for their investors. They contribute virtually nothing to society yet since the 1980s have bought up massive swaths of everything, from local plumbing companies to real estate. I feel like the very concept of a PE firm would have been regulated out of existence decades ago.

>>1862267 shut up anon gdp go up

>>1820115 >wants to be like china >keeps pushing shit that destroys national unity Not I disagree with governments wanting more power. But it aint ever gonna be like china if all they do is push schizo laws

>>1862267 >They contribute virtually nothing to society Would you rather they stick to Microsoft and Disney's plans of action, where they buy everything up in sight and refuse to release it to the public? Not saying that's the "only" other option, but PE are the polar opposites of how monopolies operate. And they're allowed to exist because they keep the money flowing.

>>1862637 >wants to be like china >keeps pushing shit that destroys national unity Anon, do you NOT know your Chinese history? They want to repeat MaoMao's rise to power in creating a Communist state. And look at all the "unity" he brought about during the various Chinese civil wars that occurred during the 20's, 30's, and 40's. The tactic is referred to as "Unity, Criticism, Unity". You first create a desire for "unity", then you criticize and attack the existing institutions for "failing" to allow for said "unity", and then (After those institutions have been destroyed or subverted) you create a "unity" on a new level.

>>1862759 Mao for all his other retardation understood you had to be united against something. You missing an important step there was an outgroup >China vs the Japs >China vs Imperial west >China vs Corrupt Republic of China >China numba wan >We all struggling together They can try all they want, you have to have at least charisma and a cause worth dying for. How the fuck will I ever trust these fuckwits with my life and livelihood when everything they touch turns to absolute shit, when clearly some groups get to rape and steal and all the burden is put on the law abiding ones. We are not suffering together clearly you are protecting your own special groups. Mao at least attempted to maintain an illusion that he was a common man. >durr you all starving but im also just eating plain rice i'm just like you >durr i'mma send my son to front lines, I wont ask you to do something I myself won't do! Send me your children so we can save China! <Mr. General if my son dies imma killll you. I see their shit plans and their shit implentation. And fucking weaklings that can't do shit without crying. I am not impressed they fucking failed already.

>>1862833 >How the fuck will I ever trust these fuckwits with my life and livelihood when everything they touch turns to absolute shit, when clearly some groups get to rape and steal and all the burden is put on the law abiding ones Because it pushes you to the other group, who has the same exact ideology but under a different but more appealing label. You against Antifa, the LGBT, the Democrats, Israel, and the WEF? Then wouldn't you know it, there's a group for you called "The Christian Nationalists". And their aims are to create a society centered on common "Christian" ownership of the means of production culture, distribution, and exchange, where products are allocated based on need "Christian" morals. It envisions a society without private property sexual degenerates, social classes pagans, money usury, and the state Jews.

>>1862267 The same reason why a murderous nigger is favored over a intelligent white man: the nigger is impulsive and spends money without thinking, while the intelligent white man saves money. Your complaint should be directed at the economic system, which, as always, is the reason for all problems in the world. It prioritizes money flow instead of actually useful actions. A company buying everything makes the money flow even among bankrupt companies, so it is prioritized over companies that produce useful things that people buy once and never again (because they are too good and useful, so there is no need to buy more).

>>1864621 >Christian Nationalists Have you seen todays christian thats an impossibility.

>>1864621 >You against Antifa, the LGBT, the Democrats, Israel, and the WEF? Then wouldn't you know it, there's a group for you called "The Christian Nationalists". The hilarious thing is when I'm against all those, but then said Christian nationalists, or at least a significant portion of them would rather shoot me dead because of my beliefs/skin colour/country of origin, if they could afford to. >>1864718 >When Christianity dominates everything, it is a good thing. When others do it, it is wrong. Deal with it. I don't think there's anything to deal with since with people around the world going more athiest, Christianity has zero chance to "dominate everything". That ship has sailed.

>Fedoras >Responding to Brazilian

>>1864718 The fuck happened to you, you used to suck off jews and hate christians Now you did a complete 180 and yet youre still retarded.
