Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I'm sure that the new Saudi owners and Jared Kushner will be looking into hacking up human developer cost by any means necessary.

I hope they bankrupt and rest in their own shit

[–] wavebeam@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

maybe we''ll get lucky and they'll burn out so hard they have to sell the titanfall, mass effect, and dragon age IPs to companies who won't fuck them up.

[–] 4am@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 month ago

EA is gonna get Private Equity’d, I guarantee it ™️

[–] Senseless@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

So.. if there ever was going to be a new Mass Effect it's going to be totally shit now? Fuck.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Root access to PCs, EU chatcontrol, and AI together!!!!! Unlimited profits!

[–] HalfSalesman@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Battlefield 6 is fucked.

It fucking begins

The boycott season is getting riper by the day.

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I’m actually starting to save money lol

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Indies deserve your money much more, and less likely for that money to go to some exec's premiums.

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Oh no they bought the hype

Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.

[–] lemmy_outta_here@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Fortunately, thou hast not even come close

[–] CaptainBasculin@lemmy.bascul.in 3 points 1 month ago

I've had my fair share of issues with EA, so honestly fuck them lmao hope their ai vision will doom them to bankruptcy

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 1 month ago

Ahahahaha. .Good luck with that. :D

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I will never give my money to the saudis if I can help it…. EA will have to put out a pretty crazy game for me to buy another EA title.

[–] n3m37h@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Looks like everyone needs to boycott EA

[–] Jarix@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sorry to be the one laughing at you.

But I need you to really think hard on this.

If people haven't boycotted EA by now, what in the wild hells makes you think this is the straw that's gonna break that mutant camels back?

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (5 children)

Damn, I was actually looking forward to battlefield 6. Haven't bought an EA game in probably 10 years, so the loss isn't that big of a deal. And with COD being shit for 12 years, my FPS days might be over.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's very stupid to install a rootkit spyware on your computer to play a video game. Now that spyware is owned by the Saudi government too. Assuming you play on PC.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm a playstation guy. My computer savvy days are way in the rearview.

I think this news makes me appreciate madden now more than ever as AI will break the frostbite engine even more.
