    Andrew Wilson had some bots, EA AI O.

    That line right there is comedic journalism gold.

    I will never understand how EA went from the game company everyone knew and quoted with that “Its in the game!” slogan to a laughing stock and poster child of shitty studios.

      EA has been shitty nearly forever, even when every game started with “Its in the game!” You probably just didn’t realize it because you were a kid, but they’ve been hacking out shitty games and shuttering great studios for decades. They were never a mark of quality, they were the mark on the games you could find in the bargain bin at Walmart.

      Capitalism. It corrupts everything eventually.

      Sure, I’ll concede that in the beginning you get innovation but we’re not in that place now. They actively stifle it. Look at Hollywood, you don’t see mid budget movies anymore and nobody wants to take a risk on a creative endeavour if they can make X-Men 66.

        Dune part 2 just came out and is a highly creative endeavor.

        Edit: If you all don’t think that the version of the Dune world these movies created isn’t immensely creative and unique then you are stuck up snob. Especially part 2.

          Dune part 2 just came out and is a highly creative endeavor.

          It is a sequel to a remake of a remake of an imitation of a Jodorowsky book.

      I mean, EA has sucked for a very long time. They bought a bunch of game studios back in the day, gutted them, and shut them down, including Origin, the studio responsible for the Ultima series, whose name EA then used for their Steam wannabe. And they ended the era of competing sports franchises by convincing multiple leagues to give them exclusive licenses.
