    1. A day after Vance Zampella dies. Surprised they didn’t back out at the last minute over that.

      Dude was a legend and the man behind so many of their hit games.

    2. I will never buy another EA game again. They were always shit anyway but fuck the sultan MBS chopping off American journalist heads.

    3. i literally just want NHL and UFC on PC. can 55 billion dollars do that?

      this is the disconnect between the reality of what the product is versus some absurd evaluation.

      players: We would like x, y and z.

      ea: “i’m sorry but this is just not within the budget or realistic for our market.”

      also ea: “haha 55 billion go brrrr”

      this is what in the fuck is wrong with everything with these huge ass companies, meanwhile a small dev team of 3 ppl will be like “oh okay we’ll work towards that”, then actually work towards that, get it done in a few months and ship it.

      55 BILLION dollars, like…what in the actual fuck does that even mean. it’s not real, it’s nothing a human can actually cognitively wrap our little brains around. it’s insanity.

      Maybe this is good. Run all the old franchises into the ground and foster some indies that hopefully don’t immediately get bought out for 100x their investment

    5. Looks like it’s trading flat, up 1.36% over the month but 31% over the 6 months. Looks like plenty bet on this happening and won!

    6. EA literally can’t get any worse. I’ve never hated a game company more. Even if they start including Islamist propaganda in the games now that would at least be kind of funny.

    7. Just in time for the collapse of the PC game market (caused by the massive price increases of PCs).

    8. This took a minute. But. We all know things will become better. They got the money and the smarts.

      Between being sold out by graphics card and memory manufacturers for the AI race into shit like this. Gamers are really having a bad time lately.

    10. Seems high to me.

      Microsoft was able to scoop Activision for 65B.

      You’re telling me dogshit yearly fifa games is worth 55b?
