He's rumored to be a Medal Of Honor fan.. Guess we might see that franchise make a comeback

Any army related game of course. Young gamers are in more danger

 

[Bathing Ape]

This lowkey might be the end of sims lesbian/gay couples as well as female soldiers on battlefield

 

[MajesticLion]

 

[Jaguar93]

Ubisoft and WB might be next….

 

[TDT]

That PCgamer article saying EA wants yearly Battlefield games is looking very likely.

Get ready for more 2042.. They might make that the Black Ops to Battlefield's Modern Warfare

Well yea, one of these groups makes consoles and are pushing an all in streaming service.

Yeah and the others owns a bunch of random stuff from all over and one of those groups has been in the console gaming business for a quarter of a century.


The lack of post and concerns on consolidation from folks track tho

 

[Loose]

Wait this a leveraged buyout ? This is going to end terribly, ea is going to be shytting out Microtranctions to pay off that loan.

No one is celebrating this shyt.

but but what about M$ ass folks

As much as people complain about EA's fetish with micro-transactions, things are gonna get so much worse for their games. Private equity has never made a company better.

They took out $20 billion in debt to make the acquisition. They about to be running those studios like sweatshops, and tapping players' pockets for absolutely EVERYTHING. We already know EA FC and Madden are about to get even worse with the cash grabs, but the one that's going to hit hard is when they start trying to squeeze even more money out of the F1 games.

Didn't say that, but clearly no one cares like they did 2-3 years ago

Nothing to do with MS, everything to do with irrational sony stan behavior.

 

[Legal]

Breh really showed up in the thread ready to try to start an argument because y'all said Microsoft three times.

 

[Ironman]

This game stan shyt is as annoying as Marvel vs DC. No one makes money off this foolishness enough already The focus needs to be gaming studios are potentially in serious danger of being bought out by corrupt government bodies. FOCUS
