As a former EA employee, me and everyone I ever saw or talked to was let go Christmas of 2008 in the depths of the financial crisis while they paid all their execs 7 figures, then closed every office and let go of virtually every single employee including pandemic and the LA office. Us EALA people still talk and moved on but I’ll never forget that they paid the execs millions of dollars while laying off on every employee in LA.

[@ryuunosuk3]

The execs make the machine work, you are just a cog, remember that. What a cog knows? How to spin on it's own axis, it takes many cogs to represent something of value. "Hur dur but if not for me there would be no game hur dur", cool, but a cog can be easily replaced, you as a low-level developer has no value in the grand scheme of things. An exec knows how the machine work, knows how to build it, fix it and improve on it, that's why execs are more expandable than cogs. If you have to cut something, you start at the base, not at the top. In every big company, you, developer/designer/low-level-contributor, are a cog that work solely to make the investors richer, nothing else. The game being good, bad or half-assed is just a byproduct of the primary objective: make the investors richer. And I don't mean to embed a sense of moral in this, that's just how the world works. Things fall down, water is wet and big companies primary concern is making it's investors richer. That's the beauty of things, you know what they are, and you know exactly what to expect from them. If you work at a big company and expect "mom's treatment" you have a problem with your perception of reality, it's like believing the moon is made of cheese, and by chewing on it's soil get mad because it tastes like gunpowder.

I encourage everyone to stop supporting companies like Activision/Blizzard and EA. There are so many great independent studios that create games with passion and innovation that deserve this support. These flesh-eating ghouls think that the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia are a sufficient disguise to hide their true intentions. Sure, these publishers may put out something approaching a decent game every now and then by working with a good studio or spanking the butt of one of their studios, but they'll use those profits to do more harm, so even supporting their non-flagrant games is negative in the long run. They are laughing at you all the way to the bank.

And honestly now that I look at it, EA is a fucked up company who just wants the money and doesnt want the people to be happy. I mean, just look at battlefront 2 now. No more updates, no more nothing. Nada. They sent the people who were working on it to help make battlefield 6. Which like most of the battlefield games, is gonna suck. So they lost a great opportunity to get more money by updating battlefront 2 and decided to make the people work on battlefield 6 and dice have to pull the plug on the game. I think EA is pretty dumb.

In the amount of time it has taken CDPR to patch a handful of bugs and add a bit of meager content, roughly a year and a half No Mans Sky had released 3 full DLC sized updates. Foundation, Path Finder and Atlas Rises. Even that still wasn't enough to fix their reputation. They are like 20 of those massive updates in now and people finally have forgiven them, but think about how much they did to re-earn that reputation compared to what CDPR has done for Cyberpunk so far. I have no hope for this games future, just a waste of talent and money.

Honestly, that's the best course of action, and I'll explain why. Indie games are, well, independent, and aren't backed by billion dollar corporations. They realize that if they fuck up a game, then they're done and can't keep developing games and paying people. So they HAVE to do it right and make a solid game. So they do. Notice how a very large amount of indie games are well received and well liked. Because they're good, plain and simple.

Unfortunately there are stil thousands of consumers who either don't care or don't have a clue and are buying year after year the same game but "better/newer" without giving it any thought. Worst part is, once you've "bought" one of the latest released games, you're getting literally forced to do microtransactions, since the "full" game you've purchased isn't actually the full game. Even if it's just 10$, the companies make profit, because its digital. So the consumers think to themselves "10$ extra won't hurt" and BAM! There ya go, got trapped. And once the latest released game doesn't bring any more profit, which they run on the slowest potato servers they can provide the consumers with, they shut down that server, release a "better/newer" game and set that same potato server online again. It's because of said mindless consumers the gaming companies are milking us out. Now it's the same with EA Play garbage. Please! DON'T SUPPORT THEM... The best way to hit them is on their wallets!!
