EA want to put adverts in your video games to squeeze you for every penny

Quoting: mallogFor a Linux site, I'm surprised no-one has mentioned this. The adverts will probably be delivered through a specific domain, which can be blocked in your firewall.
Nope, gonna be local and updates every day. No chance they'll let you escape.
Instead of the shader caching progress screen, you will now also enjoy the ads downloading progress screen. In fact while you wait, why don't we show you some ads! Or maybe throw a little gambling minigame in your face since you won't be going anywhere for a couple minutes. Why not make this an even 10 minutes so you really get the true EA experience. Perhaps add some real money in-game currency for skipping this artificial time waster. Mmmmm.

Please wait, downloading new advertising assets.

The scale of the layoffs wasn’t shared, but staff were told that people working in publishing, IT, and Square Enix’s Collective indie games division would be predominantly affected.

EA desperate to surpass Ubisoft as the worst gaming company in history because why wouldn't you want to be number 1 on any list. Got a long way to go still but the gap is narrowing. Yay us. :sick:

Axiom Verge is a fantastic experience, to be honest I'm not feeling the sequel as much but still a fine game.

HELLDIVERS 2 sees over 130K bad reviews on Steam as Sony double down

Sony is insanely malicious and one of the most well known bad actors in the industry, they can go f--- themselves with a barbwire-wrapped cactus dipped in lemon juice and piss. It's a shame the devs take the hit, they don't deserve it.
