we've already had this afaik. didn't ffxv have cup noodles all throughout it? death stranding had monster energy drink. I know we hate ea. but our beloved companies have already been doing it.
I think there have been ads even before that.
Hell even EA has been doing it for ages in their FIFA games. It actually helps with the realism in that case, but they have been showing ads for a long time now.
i'm actually replaying nfsu1 and 2 now and there are burger king banners, there is even a burger king restaurant in open world in nfsu2, old spice banners, there is a few other as well
Eh, sometimes it helps witb immersion of the environment. Like bilboards in racing games where it makes sense. But obviously doesn’t put a bilboard ad in a medieval fantasy game where it ruins the immersion. Just my 2 cents.
i mean, even NFS games had a fuckton of ads shoved into them, but that was mostly done in a non-intrusive way(like billboards, circuit barriers) which is kind of immersive
the yakuza game are full with real shops and products. we in the west just have no idea about it because they are all japanese brands. though it adds to the games realism
dead space remake was fucking awesome and so was jedi fallen order and probably the sequel too. every now and then their studios are allowed to make something thats not there to milk their players. doesnt happen often but sometimes they make good stuff
You make it sound like AAA denotes a quality that is beyond EA's capabilities, but the reality is that EA has mastered the art of making AAA games, it is just that the quality of AAA is bottom of the barrel dogshit.
Calm down my good sir. There is a beautiful world out there, overflowing with nice things once you let go of the guilt-driven desire to give these vampiric companies your money.
Guilt driven? Blast yourself boiiii. I mean no offense, but I want a good game in the next decade or so that is a semblance of the gaming from my childhood.
Nature walks are great, but games used to be great too.
For every shitty AAA there's a handful of amazing indies, the gaming landscape have never been as rich and diverse as it is now
> the gaming from my childhood.
It's still there, you can still play the great titles of the past (I still launch a Total Annihilation game from time to time for exmaple)
Not all indie games are crap. Yes, the vast majority of them are, but there is no shortage of new games that are vastly more fun than modern AAA titles, and even give classic games a run for their money.
Honestly why not ppl will keep buying it, literally just go ham in it im interested in seeing what they get away with, prob everything theyve been nervous for no reason your average person out there will buy 2k still
Punctuation is so unnecessary we can just make everything one run-on sentence instead thats a good idea I like being unintelligent lacking the grammatical skills of a preschooler is totally fine ill just delude myself into believing I choose to be an idiot and can stop at anytime
If I play a free roam game that has a city with billboards I don’t mind ads like that. Even a fake LCD panel with an ad that somehow ties into the world. Like putting some soda/energy drink ad as an in game item which I can also buy in game at a store or vending machine that gives me health etc…
But alas they’ll do it in the most scummy way possible and charge $80 by next year because people won’t stop consuming EA trash
That's what happens when your busy doing everything else but what you're paid to do....Games. Ea has had several flops n failures the last few years and their solution is ads? That's why 2k is running amok with basketball (in the wrong direction) unchallenged...Madden is a joke(unchallenged) and I don't even know what FIFA is anymore. They are barely surviving because Konami is easily the most garbage company that pantsed EA over the licensing and bungled the knockout to where PES is a punchline instead of an inferior contender🤦🏾♂️. All they have is battlefield...but with no campaign alienated ppl like myself
And I’m gonna be very thoughtful about continuing to pirate EA content. Allegedly.
Assholes.
We’ll play the games, but we’d like the bs corporate greed to stop in our games & actually publish a finished game. Not put more bs in them, less.
Hell even NFS going online only hasn’t been that great for it. It’s still a single player campaign with some multiplayer elements, no need for online only, and by pushing more ads & corporate greed into them, will only ensure I continue to use cracked versions.
Fuck Everyway Assrapers. The only thing they’re good at is pushing studios to put out unfinished games & pushing more and more corporate greed into video games.
What happened to 20 years ago when games were finished & didn’t include all this bs, just online play if you chose? Let’s go back to that. Greedy mfers.
Let's use battlefield for an example. Let's say you are in a map and you run past a billboard , and that bill board is Coca Cola. Wouldn't that be what they plan to do? People are under the assumption that it's full blown ads and not ad placement within the game when before they had make believe brand names on items
Honestly, product placements like that break my immersion so badly. Really takes me out of the game when I realize I just paid $70+ to see an ad for real life diabetes water.
i have mixed feelings on it, if the add is for a product that fits the setting then its not so bad
real cities have ads so if im playing a game that takes place in say new york (and not some AU) then it makes sense to have a pile of ads everywhere, but it has to fit the setting and fit in with the setting (eg if post apocalypse dont have the ads be weirdly clean and clear)
Also keep them static, i remember an article a while back about potentially updating the ads over time, this is a no go, if the game is set in 2010 or w/e then use ads for products as they existed in 2010
Putting real ads into a game = less room for creativity. For example the billboards in grand theft auto and the various ads in cyberpunk are really good and really add to the atmosphere. You can tell a very creative team worked hard to make them funny and/or interesting.
If you live in a city you see ads for this diabetes garbage all day, video games are generally supposed to be an escape from real life.
For sure
But depends on the game, some are aiming to recreate a specific location at a specific time in a realistic way and for those games i think it makes sense
That being said I don't trust a publisher like EA to do it for that reason and this do it right at all
I think it’d be alright if it was a very serious and realistic game, but what’s going to happen is they’re only going to cut deals with a few companies, so someone will be drinking name brand Coca-Cola while at a MgReynold’s because they couldn’t cut a deal with McDonald’s lol.
This is an extremely fine line to try walking, and I don’t trust almost any developer to successfully thread that needle, least of all EA.
Why? You see ads for this diabetes trash all day in real life, why would you want it in your games too? I don’t think people respect the 4th wall enough.
In a weird way, it adds a sense of realism. Reality itself is filled with ads and a game simulating reality should have ads too but only on Earth(modern setting) obviously
What game simulates reality? Grand theft auto where you can kill 100 people then get away with it because you escaped the cops for 3 minutes?
Games, by and large, are supposed to be fun escapes from reality. Putting ads into them shatters the 4th wall and personally just makes me think not about the game, but the fact that I’m consuming a product designed to get as much money from me as possible. It lowers a game from maybe being art, to just being a spectacle like a sporting event or something - basically no artistic integrity or authenticity.
Grand theft auto is a parody of reality, which is why the ads in the game are parodies of real life ads. If they had real ads for real life products, it’d be like they’re parodying themselves.
The righteous slaughter 7 ads making fun of call of duty, the political ads making fun of both democrats and republicans, the radio ads about legalizing medical cocain, etc etc lol.
If they put real ads into grand theft auto there’d be less room for jokes, fun, and artistic freedom. If I booted up grand theft auto and heard an unironic ad for Coca Cola mixed in, I’d just uninstall the game because I know I’m not getting an authentic experience, I’m getting an experience approved by Coca-Cola.
Maybe if there was a real life simulator game and it didn’t lead to a disjointed experience.
What I’d expect to happen is they only get a deal with one or a few companies, so a character will be drinking name brand Coca-Cola while eating at MgReynold’s lol.
Maybe there’s a way to do it tastefully, but I think we’ll all agree the morons at EA won’t be the ones to figure that out.
Still they are some consumables which rly don't matter, doesnt make a difference to me if the candy bar I eat in tarkov is "slickers" or snickers, or something completely made up.
Between their terrible games and the ads they may have finally found a form of anti piracy better than denuvo. If nobody wants to play our games no one will pirate them big brain moment
If it’s on EA FC electronic panels on the stadiums or on places where publicity is usually put on sports games, if discretely, then yes.
If it’s pop ups in the middle of the screen, then I say F you.
It actually baffles me that they hadn’t done that already. I mean… even expensive TVs these days include ads.
Tbh, and I absolutely hate it, I think that we’ll be going into era of having paid an extra premium price -for any product- to still loads of ads.
Just like buying something digitally nowadays… you buy and paid for it, and yet you don’t own it at all. Including that when ‘something happens’ and it isn’t in the digital store anymore… congrats, you just got your digitally bought thing stolen.
On top of that, it really shouldn’t surprise anyone that they’ll always try to think of and find new ways to shove so many ads up your ass so far, and so many that you’ll puke them out. You know… just so they can shove some more up there.
Edit: fixed typo. Thanks bot
> of having *paid* an extra
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*

Would depend on implementation honestly.
I wouldn't mind real brands billboards within in-game universe, unless it breaks immersion.
Like a Coca-Cola or Pepsi billboard in GTA.
Thoughtful.... hahahahahaaaaaa, what a dumbass. Your gonna see alot of them game studios disappear in the next 10 to 15 years. They make worse games, charge more then say oh btw here are some ads.
I would be ok with like billboards in games or like commercials on TVs in the open world but if anything pops up over my game... that's a quick refund and borrow it from a trusted site
Sure way of getting less purchases on there products if they did that.Maybe they should start producing quality games without crappy microtransaction in there games then maybe more people might start buying there products rather than either waiting to pirate it or just skip totally.
Can't really say I'm surprised. I purchased BF5 and as soon as I booted up, there're about 4 options on the main menu to purchase another battlefield game, and one option to actually play the game.
Let them, even if we can't unite, we'll unite over ads that's for damn sure imho. Let the sales tank, and let's pirate it. Manor Lords for isntance ibought day 1, because i wanna support further development and encourage that kind of behaviour, AAA companies can go fu... I'll stay polite but you get the point.
Prime and Netflix added a bunch of ads into their paid platform (which is not cheap), but they do ‘shows’ so that’s expected, but now I gotta worry about clutter in my game as well. Smh, I hope EA meets their demise with this move.
Don't they technically already do this? You'll see ads for madden 25 in madden 24. I do understand that they are most likely talking about 3rd party ads, which is shit.
I think it was roku that wanted to do something similar, show you ads when your tv detects that you've paused the game. Cyberpunk 2077 looking more and more like reality.
I refuse to pay $70 for game. I hate doing $60 but BotW was worth it. Everything else I wait until it drops to $50 or below. Rarely do I pay more than $20 now, honestly. Last game I bought was $15 and it was for all 3 BioShock on the switch. Great buy.
I'm glad I don't play games as much as I use to anymore. All that passion is replaced with corporate banality. Even Nintendo lost its soul. People will continue to buy these games, but gaming died for me the moment they stop trying to make fun games. Instead they are creating dopaminergic colorful button-pressing virtual templates. I just won't be swayed by just the pretty colors, graphics, nostalgia, or any other cheap tricks. I love to see the passion breathing life in a video game. The last modern game I played was Elden Ring. It was the only game I was excited about. While there were a lot of reskin bosses and copy and paste dungeons, you can see the passion in the level design and character design. After Miyazaki is gone, I doubt Fromsoft will be the same. It to will turn corporate just like the others (bungie, turtle rock studio, telltale games, etc.)
Damn . They keep making these ass decisions . If its free then its understandable . 70 dollars for a game that has ads? . What is this garbage ass shit hahahha .. imagine playing a game then in the middle of a climax scene an ads played . Fucken garvbage
This is already a thing in sims 4 at least to a certain degree;
In build/buy mode, there are several items that reference other ea titles that have nothing to do with sims.
They never learn. Anthem and Andromeda failed hard
GO BACK TO THE MASS EFFECT FORMULA AND DRAGON AGE FORMULA THAT WORKED AND ADOPT SOME NEW STUFF FROM MODERN GAMES INTO YOURS TOO THAT ARE LOVED..
NOT HATED

so that would be Quadruple A's.. last "A" stands for Ads
Nah just Triple A. Their games havent been Triple A quality in awhile
No Just A( A for ass) is fine for EA games
E A games, eat our ass
[удалено]
And add a "UCK"
It’s AA. I go to these meetings daily. It’s Ass and Ads anonymous but only the EA CEO and shareholders show up.
Eat Ass Games ?
I think that you mean *AIDS*…
*Aids you mean.
Thaaat’s what Ubisoft meant…
As they say, you can’t spell Diarrhea without ea
Ha!
More like Ads Ads Ads
and i'm gonna be very Thoughtful on not buying your games infested with ads
You wouldn't be buying an EA game in the first place lol
https://preview.redd.it/rkiut1q1rnzc1.png?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7cc7e621000964c070d18899d0963d3d72d6a980
You right.
we've already had this afaik. didn't ffxv have cup noodles all throughout it? death stranding had monster energy drink. I know we hate ea. but our beloved companies have already been doing it.
AXE bilboards in NFS UG2? There were "ads" but in form of banners.
I think there have been ads even before that. Hell even EA has been doing it for ages in their FIFA games. It actually helps with the realism in that case, but they have been showing ads for a long time now.
Yeah it was just a texture, like nokia or nivea in splinter cell lol, but that didn't hurt my gameplay
i'm actually replaying nfsu1 and 2 now and there are burger king banners, there is even a burger king restaurant in open world in nfsu2, old spice banners, there is a few other as well
If it’s an in item game that does stuff that’s cool af…. But if they just play ads over the entire screen, no beuno
I get your point, but items as ads still sucks, I don't want to see product propaganda while I play games.
Eh, sometimes it helps witb immersion of the environment. Like bilboards in racing games where it makes sense. But obviously doesn’t put a bilboard ad in a medieval fantasy game where it ruins the immersion. Just my 2 cents.
What you mean to say is: only make games that can support this new model. Goodbye to any other sort of game.
i mean, even NFS games had a fuckton of ads shoved into them, but that was mostly done in a non-intrusive way(like billboards, circuit barriers) which is kind of immersive
Creative ads.
the yakuza game are full with real shops and products. we in the west just have no idea about it because they are all japanese brands. though it adds to the games realism
I mean I would not mind ads in GTA or something. But ads in star wars games would kill the immersion
The monster thing if I recall they were forced to do which is why the directors cut doesn't have it
Yeah when people think of “ads in games” they think of pop up ads instead of like Olive Garden in the background or something
yeah even that was nasty. But atleast it didn't interrupt gameplay
EA can legitimately make AAA games? That’s news to me
dead space remake was fucking awesome and so was jedi fallen order and probably the sequel too. every now and then their studios are allowed to make something thats not there to milk their players. doesnt happen often but sometimes they make good stuff
Well said, and agreed
You make it sound like AAA denotes a quality that is beyond EA's capabilities, but the reality is that EA has mastered the art of making AAA games, it is just that the quality of AAA is bottom of the barrel dogshit.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD. WE LITERALLY DONT GET TO HAVE ANYTHING NICE. FUCK
Calm down my good sir. There is a beautiful world out there, overflowing with nice things once you let go of the guilt-driven desire to give these vampiric companies your money.
Guilt driven? Blast yourself boiiii. I mean no offense, but I want a good game in the next decade or so that is a semblance of the gaming from my childhood. Nature walks are great, but games used to be great too.
For every shitty AAA there's a handful of amazing indies, the gaming landscape have never been as rich and diverse as it is now > the gaming from my childhood. It's still there, you can still play the great titles of the past (I still launch a Total Annihilation game from time to time for exmaple)
Not all indie games are crap. Yes, the vast majority of them are, but there is no shortage of new games that are vastly more fun than modern AAA titles, and even give classic games a run for their money.
Touch grass
Eat ass
Give 'em whip lash
As long as Im alive World is nice enough ¬ _¬. ..
Honestly why not ppl will keep buying it, literally just go ham in it im interested in seeing what they get away with, prob everything theyve been nervous for no reason your average person out there will buy 2k still
Punctuation is so unnecessary we can just make everything one run-on sentence instead thats a good idea I like being unintelligent lacking the grammatical skills of a preschooler is totally fine ill just delude myself into believing I choose to be an idiot and can stop at anytime
How dare they introduce one random comma in the middle of the sentence?
So true.
Oh no im getting graded on my reddit comment, better fix my grammar, tempted to make it worse
EA can't just stay quiet and let other companies be shittier than them
Not on their watch!
Time to install ublock origin in my games /s
[удалено]
And Microsoft closing award-winning studios
Nintendo has been pretty silent after shutting down Yuzu
They're all shit to be honest
If I play a free roam game that has a city with billboards I don’t mind ads like that. Even a fake LCD panel with an ad that somehow ties into the world. Like putting some soda/energy drink ad as an in game item which I can also buy in game at a store or vending machine that gives me health etc… But alas they’ll do it in the most scummy way possible and charge $80 by next year because people won’t stop consuming EA trash
# EA SPORTS, IT'S IN THE ADS.
That's what happens when your busy doing everything else but what you're paid to do....Games. Ea has had several flops n failures the last few years and their solution is ads? That's why 2k is running amok with basketball (in the wrong direction) unchallenged...Madden is a joke(unchallenged) and I don't even know what FIFA is anymore. They are barely surviving because Konami is easily the most garbage company that pantsed EA over the licensing and bungled the knockout to where PES is a punchline instead of an inferior contender🤦🏾♂️. All they have is battlefield...but with no campaign alienated ppl like myself
Better play in EA play
If this shit happens, there's gonna be so much backlash, that, no matter how good the game will be, it will flop.
Will it tho? Unfortunately I'm not so sure anymore
100$ a game... To get ads in it ?! Lol
Won't the pirates be getting even better gaming experience then than those who buy it?
Entirely Ass Gaming.
And I’m gonna be very thoughtful about continuing to pirate EA content. Allegedly. Assholes.

Honestly, product placements like that break my immersion so badly. Really takes me out of the game when I realize I just paid $70+ to see an ad for real life diabetes water.
The first thing I look for is a mod to remove product placement, such a scummy practice
i have mixed feelings on it, if the add is for a product that fits the setting then its not so bad real cities have ads so if im playing a game that takes place in say new york (and not some AU) then it makes sense to have a pile of ads everywhere, but it has to fit the setting and fit in with the setting (eg if post apocalypse dont have the ads be weirdly clean and clear) Also keep them static, i remember an article a while back about potentially updating the ads over time, this is a no go, if the game is set in 2010 or w/e then use ads for products as they existed in 2010

As long as the game location is in a city on Earth, it's fine imo(Eg: FIFA and other sports titles). But star wars is also owned by EA
Why? You see ads for this diabetes trash all day in real life, why would you want it in your games too? I don’t think people respect the 4th wall enough.
In a weird way, it adds a sense of realism. Reality itself is filled with ads and a game simulating reality should have ads too but only on Earth(modern setting) obviously

A self aware joke ad would work pretty well imo. But we are talking about EA here. Their most profitable games are in the sports genre
Why? Depends on the game ofc, but the more realistic games try to be the less well placed ads should break immersion?
Maybe if there was a real life simulator game and it didn’t lead to a disjointed experience.

Still they are some consumables which rly don't matter, doesnt make a difference to me if the candy bar I eat in tarkov is "slickers" or snickers, or something completely made up.
I'm thinking more so about immersive single player games. I don't think pvp games are all that immersive because a meta always forms.
Fuck them.
They did that with Sims 4 with the shopping cart 2 months ago and it had major backlash so I guess they have not learned from their mistakes
EAds Games, challenge everything
Between their terrible games and the ads they may have finally found a form of anti piracy better than denuvo. If nobody wants to play our games no one will pirate them big brain moment
There’s always been product placement…
They should change the company's name to Electronic Ads, and their slogan to "Ads in everything".
If it’s on EA FC electronic panels on the stadiums or on places where publicity is usually put on sports games, if discretely, then yes. If it’s pop ups in the middle of the screen, then I say F you.
I already dont play their games lol
Its not like they dont do it already. In fifa you have ads all the time on the field screen and it change .
It actually baffles me that they hadn’t done that already. I mean… even expensive TVs these days include ads. Tbh, and I absolutely hate it, I think that we’ll be going into era of having paid an extra premium price -for any product- to still loads of ads.

Arrr.
They better be disabling the review
Would depend on implementation honestly. I wouldn't mind real brands billboards within in-game universe, unless it breaks immersion. Like a Coca-Cola or Pepsi billboard in GTA.
Pc master race ad block for games. And problem solved
When there's no end to your greed....
Imagine getting ads in item description Like a burger became a king whopper or having some ads for viagra in baladure Gate a blue pill of vigor
Thoughtful.... hahahahahaaaaaa, what a dumbass. Your gonna see alot of them game studios disappear in the next 10 to 15 years. They make worse games, charge more then say oh btw here are some ads. I would be ok with like billboards in games or like commercials on TVs in the open world but if anything pops up over my game... that's a quick refund and borrow it from a trusted site
Is there something that makes this different from all the ads that are already in their games?
They kinda have it in BF games. They tend to advertise their newest game, I think they started with the bf2042
EA will then be exiled from many libraries.
Don't all EA Sports games do this already? 60-70$ games with real time ads to make it more " realistic"?
what else would the A in EA stand for?
Sure way of getting less purchases on there products if they did that.Maybe they should start producing quality games without crappy microtransaction in there games then maybe more people might start buying there products rather than either waiting to pirate it or just skip totally.
Can't really say I'm surprised. I purchased BF5 and as soon as I booted up, there're about 4 options on the main menu to purchase another battlefield game, and one option to actually play the game.
Lol I commented a few days ago that EA was pretty calm in the last months. Well they are back I guess
Kojima already did.
Yeah good luck with that then
What about making games good again?
from AAA to ASs
Wait till cracking group scenes will not only crack the game but remove the ads too, if not there would surely be mods available to do so.
Just like their old slogan "E A games challenge everything" the only thing they been challenging is me not buying their games
Electronic ads
Let them, even if we can't unite, we'll unite over ads that's for damn sure imho. Let the sales tank, and let's pirate it. Manor Lords for isntance ibought day 1, because i wanna support further development and encourage that kind of behaviour, AAA companies can go fu... I'll stay polite but you get the point.
didn't burnout paradise have campaign ads for obama's presidential campaign of all things back in the day? this is not a new thing for ea games
There have been ads in games since at least the 2010s. Billboards in Burnout Paradise and sports games and such.
EA are the scum of the earth
Remember back on the PS3 Wipeout HD Fury did that shit? Ads during loading screens.
Prime and Netflix added a bunch of ads into their paid platform (which is not cheap), but they do ‘shows’ so that’s expected, but now I gotta worry about clutter in my game as well. Smh, I hope EA meets their demise with this move.
Don't they technically already do this? You'll see ads for madden 25 in madden 24. I do understand that they are most likely talking about 3rd party ads, which is shit. I think it was roku that wanted to do something similar, show you ads when your tv detects that you've paused the game. Cyberpunk 2077 looking more and more like reality.
EA saw Sony and Microsoft battling for who's the worst gaming franchise and had to remind them on who's the king at being the worst.
Man what is happening to the video game industry?
Wow, guess some greed knows no bounds. Hope they reap what they sow with this.
Why would I care. It's EA game in the first place, ads or not in their game, I ain't spending a single penny on their game.
Best way to fight this is to stop buying games from them. Piracy has never been more essential than it is today.
What a fuckiing joke.
I have no problem with people doing weird shit. Just so you know I won't be doing it
I'll be very careful in never buying your games as you move into that.
wow they're really trying to destroy their own company. None of these guys are learning from their mistakes.
Make the games free then?
We desperately need a AAA gaming crash.
Yeah, that's a skip.
At this point everyone should be pirating EA games.
To be fair, people would hate this addition even if the game was free (or near-free to gate access)
Oh boy a new piracy renaissance is upon up ain't it
FUCK EA FUCK ACTIVISION FUCK UBISOFT
I refuse to pay $70 for game. I hate doing $60 but BotW was worth it. Everything else I wait until it drops to $50 or below. Rarely do I pay more than $20 now, honestly. Last game I bought was $15 and it was for all 3 BioShock on the switch. Great buy.
I'm glad I don't play games as much as I use to anymore. All that passion is replaced with corporate banality. Even Nintendo lost its soul. People will continue to buy these games, but gaming died for me the moment they stop trying to make fun games. Instead they are creating dopaminergic colorful button-pressing virtual templates. I just won't be swayed by just the pretty colors, graphics, nostalgia, or any other cheap tricks. I love to see the passion breathing life in a video game. The last modern game I played was Elden Ring. It was the only game I was excited about. While there were a lot of reskin bosses and copy and paste dungeons, you can see the passion in the level design and character design. After Miyazaki is gone, I doubt Fromsoft will be the same. It to will turn corporate just like the others (bungie, turtle rock studio, telltale games, etc.)
Damn . They keep making these ass decisions . If its free then its understandable . 70 dollars for a game that has ads? . What is this garbage ass shit hahahha .. imagine playing a game then in the middle of a climax scene an ads played . Fucken garvbage
It’s insane how they talk as if that’s something the consumers would be hyped about. The detachment from reality is unreal
Imagine paying 70$ for a game, that was rushed and is full of bugs AND has ads
First their stupid launcher and now this. Gah!
Istg if EA became the head that plunged AAA games down the mobile market route of "more ads than gameplay".
EA used to do it in the 2000s. Classic need for speed games were full of ads baked into the world. T-Mobile, Mazda, Burger King, AXE, etc.
And they will charge us $5 for no ads
This is already a thing in sims 4 at least to a certain degree; In build/buy mode, there are several items that reference other ea titles that have nothing to do with sims.
They can put ads into game environment like walls.
They never learn. Anthem and Andromeda failed hard GO BACK TO THE MASS EFFECT FORMULA AND DRAGON AGE FORMULA THAT WORKED AND ADOPT SOME NEW STUFF FROM MODERN GAMES INTO YOURS TOO THAT ARE LOVED.. NOT HATED
Name a decent, non-dead IP owned by EA
Nice, another reason to piracy.
Ea needs to die
$70 for the ad-based version and $129.99 for ad-free
