ooh, EA has competition

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

This is a meme at this point right? I can’t remember the last time EA actually did anything remotely as bad.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

EA has been famous for buying up game studios only to shut them down shortly after back in the 90s

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, I know that, but they haven’t done anything egregious in quite some time. Microsoft, Sony, Take-two, Embracer and Activision have been been making a lot worse headlines for the last few years now.

@SuperSaiyanSwag @Sam_Bass yep. Its more like "ubisoft got competition"
