Uhhhhhh things didn't go well with EA nowadays. Back in the days when Electronic Arts used to be a top dog publishers of gaming industries behind their successful titles such as Battlefield, Medal of Honor, Burnout, Road Rash, Strike, Dead Space, and Need for Speed, but now they turned out to become a biggest enormous assholes corporation that started to shit on games that we liked, the consumers, and of course the best developers team behind their work.
I decided to make my gaming rant because I haven't made any of recent rant since 5 years ago, but now I have finally to discuss about the disastrous companies that started to become greedy and selfish.
What really started to annoy not just me, but also gaming community is that the company had no passion to make great games anymore instead they started to rush out the biggest titles that we are looking forward to see and there are some of the great developers that got badly screwed by the company themselves.
At beginning in early 2010s, they been awarded as being the worst companies in america of 2012-13 as they were blamed for its critically controversial title like Mass Effect 3 for its worst ending ever, weak sales of Dead Space 3 for its use of microtransactions, and the poor launch of SimCity reboot which getting a lot of bad reputation from the consumers and gaming community. They also killed off games like Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Army of Two: The Devil's Cartel, Battlefield: Hardline, Need for Speed Payback, and Mass Effect: Andromeda which received mixed reception from critics, while fans calling it most disappointing titles ever released.
The part that got me really angry is that one of the biggest games that I was looking forward to was Star Wars: Battlefront that got everyone hyped as it was mean't to be a reboot of the original game, but unfortunately it got disappointing at the initial release due to heavy use of microtransactions on online multiplayer, forcing to pay $40 season pass to gain all the contents, and missing single player campaign which the game had criticised, so they went to make another sequel to this game which did took off the season pass and having single player campaign, but then again it got badly flopped for having 2-3 hours shortest campaign, pay to win lootboxes, and 40 hours to unlock Darth Vader which EA Dice had badly messed up once again.
Speaking of EA Dice, they are also destroyed Battlefield V which received mixed responses from fan community due to degree of historical inaccuracy, lack of innovation, and shortage of content at lunch which causes commercially disappointment for its sales as it was never was good as the previous title such as Battlefield 1 which deserves more praise than these garbage.
There are one of the AAA title that we are hoping to see game succeed again was Anthem which is a Action RPG shooter by BioWare who was known for their series such as Dragon Age and Mass Effect, but it didn't turned out well at the release due to repetitive missions, disjointed story and of course long loading times that took 5 mins to start. What makes Anthem even worse is that the game itself did however crashes thousands of PS4 consoles as it bricks the console or shutting down itself while playing Anthem had gain so much controversy after hearing from several of gaming news article websites and gaming YouTube channel.
Unfortunately EA did screw up not only the developer team, but fanbase because they are now becoming anti-consumers, money hungry and being not caring about gaming products as they treated the products like a mobile games rather than designed for the actual PCs and Consoles gaming back then. Several of developers like EA Dice and BioWare which I believe they did not had a good reputation from the publishers as like what EA did to talented developers back then such as Westwood Studios, Pandemic Studios, and Visceral Games who was no longer active are becoming a biggest victims of evil companies like EA due to unsuccessful titles had sold poorly like Dead Space 3, The Saboteur, and Command & Conquer: Renegade which didn't meet expectations of the publisher, so I didn't want EA Dice and BioWare becoming downhill like the previous developers just had because of their failures they had from EA.
Things that really annoys me the most was they focusing too much on crappy EA Sports series like FIFA, Madden, NHL and every damn simulation sports games that we got sick of seeing these kinds of boring ass sports titles that keeps getting released in every single year, so why can't EA focused more on the classic series that haven't been made for ages like what the hell happened to Strike, Road Rash, and Burnout, so these are the games that deserves a sequel but unfortunately it never going to happen in the future.
Sigh...EA what have you done to yourself that you used to be a biggest companies of gaming back then, but now you're becoming a biggest joke to our gaming by destroying the best franchises that we grew up playing back then. Our favourite franchises was destroyed with pay to win lootboxes, heavy use of microtransactions, missing half of content, and unfinished development what really causing problems with gaming industries nowadays.
You're making so much poor business practices to treat consumers like an animal and you letting all best developers down by nothing but your greed, so someday you will going to regret pretty soon because you had done worst damage than the companies like Activision.
EA I hope you will learn the lesson from the previous mistake you made, but it won't save you at the end because people still losing your trust. Please EA we beg you to give the gaming fans community what they want and make your products good again, so we can able to enjoy the game what we like to play.
I'm very glad that Respawn Entertainment, a developer behind Titanfall series, did a fabulous job with their recent FPS Battle-Royale title such as Apex Legends that came out last month which is a really fun game had gained over 50 million players worldwide because it's free to play title meaning that you can able to download and play the game for free, so I hope the company doesn't do anything stupid with this game at the end because I really enjoyed the game a lot which I can't stop playing in over 2 hours of addictive battle-royale matches.
