i just uninstalled all EA games and the app. its not a safe product to use under the control of the new owners it seems.
hear me out.
EA has a huge distribution network that requires clients to be installed on the users system along with login IDs.
considering Kushner is involved he likely has the connections to gain access to the American data mined by DOGE and can orchestrate identifying Americans off of the subset of data from EA and DOGE.
EA has loose morals enough to participate with a fascist government but never had the opportunity until this happened.
considering 17% of all gamers are LGBTQ and many others are ASD, I'm concerned EA is going to surveil and notify based on users habits and online interactions.
I suppose only time will tell, but something feels very weird about this whole thing.
Just so I'm clear, this move entails:
Get a massive loan, use it to buy a company, take the money back from the company, saddle the company with the debt for it's own purchase, scrap it for parts and let it go bankrupt?
Considering it's EA, this might actually be a good thing for the world.
I will continue to never buy their games or support them at all 👍
Nothing worth buying anyways
:)
My last remaining spark of hope for a Mass Effect game that isn't completely fucked just died. Let's hope that Exodus will scratch that itch for me...
