That’s a bit extreme. Everything from Hazelight (It Takes Two, Split Fiction) is sublime, they still have Respawn making Star Wars games. They have Sims. And (outside sports games) they’ve dialed down the “MTX meme” they were a decade ago.

…I’m not saying they're good. But they’re nowhere near Activision-Blizzard enshittified, nor hurling towards it as fast as Xbox Studios and some other AAAs.

    From 2013 to 2023 only EA could work on Star Wars games. It was supposed to be a bunch of high quality epic games...

    We got a couple that were decent because there's no alternatives. And most of the time was wasted on battlefront and it's terrible micro transactions.

    Like...
