      Because these specific two are growing increasingly irrelevant to the medium and they’re outliers compared to other studios. They’ve both been infamous for years for their exceptionally scummy practice. They’re literally the worst.

        if only the industry could be rid of Ubisoft and EA, we could finally play our AAA live service gacha games in peace, without being exploited for money

        if only we could go back to the good old days, when the most prominent people in gaming were:

        • the out and proud fascist who runs Epic
        • the out and proud fascists who ran id
        • Todd Howard
        • fucking Peter Molyneux
        • it’s ok, a developer who’s existed since the Amiga days has made a good game!
        • I regret to inform you that the above-mentioned developer has willingly sold their entire studio to EA in exchange for a sack of money and now the sequel is a live service game with gambling mechanics
        • at least we’ll always have the Wing Commander guy. I wonder what he’s up to?
