"EA managed to act a little morose earlier this year when it forced Battlefield 6 studios into "realignment" and laid off workers, but it seems CEO Andrew Wilson is doing fine."

GamesRadar: Despite Battlefield 6 layoffs, EA paid its CEO 305x more than its average employee last year thanks to an $8 million bonus increase — and he could net another $125 million in severance as buyout looms #EA #ElectronicArts

I share the same sentiment around #EAFC27 and #EAFC overall...

The game has become boring. That magic of old is gone because they push #UltimateTeam above all else.

This year seems like the stroke that broke the camel back, and I expect a lot of fans skipping this year football game until it hits $20 or so in December.

This is interesting because Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) is also involved in Paramount's acquisition of Warner Brothers Discovery (WBD)

There goes EA. While I appreciate the Saudis are trying to build a regional game hub, this will come with all kinds of "we're so cool" propaganda.

But, it's not a done deal yet.

~ не понимаю, что у них там такого изменилось спустя мою долгую паузу в этой игре, но теперь кажется, будто они отобрали у меня любой способ комфортно играть в эту игру. А играть на консоли с геймпада в Апекс для меня довольно тяжко. Ну... придётся ждать фикса, в который слабо верится, зная разработчиков. Либо перейти полноценно на консоль, но играть с болью. #ApexLegends #ElectronicArts #RespawnEntertainment
