I will continue to never buy their games or support them at all 👍

    Just so I'm clear, this move entails:

    Get a massive loan, use it to buy a company, take the money back from the company, saddle the company with the debt for it's own purchase, scrap it for parts and let it go bankrupt?

    hear me out.

    EA has a huge distribution network that requires clients to be installed on the users system along with login IDs.

    considering Kushner is involved he likely has the connections to gain access to the American data mined by DOGE and can orchestrate identifying Americans off of the subset of data from EA and DOGE.

    EA has loose morals enough to participate with a fascist government but never had the opportunity until this happened.

    considering 17% of all gamers are LGBTQ and many others are ASD, I'm concerned EA is going to surveil and notify based on users habits and online interactions.

    I suppose only time will tell, but something feels very weird about this whole thing.

    Wait, people use an EA program/launcher still? I thought that was discontinued years ago, shows how many EA games I play lol. Seriously though, if they took out a $22b loan and are planning to use AI generated material, they're going to be hemorrhaging money.

    If the recent examples of Google and Microsoft are any indication, they're going to lay people off and just stop doing QA. Everything I use from Google and Microsoft has been buggy as hell of late.

    It's like all these "smart" businesspeople can't read simple opinion polls.

    Most people hate degenerative AI.

    Most people avoid products that have it.

    Adding degenerative AI to EA's games will worsen their condition, not improve it.

    I am pleasantly surprised by how little this affects me.
