How EA Destroyed Its Own Reputation

Video Overview & Insights

Electronic Arts was voted the worst company in America not once, but TWICE!

after watching this, i decided i'll only MAYBE and very occasionally buy an apex legends cosmetic with real money if it isn't in the means of gambling. only if i can directly receive the currency and just buy the item. i still love apex legends because of its really fun gameplay and amazing art.

In this video, we talk about EA’s evil business practices, ranging from FIFA Ultimate Team loot-boxes, to Games as a Service, to manipulative matchmaking that keeps players addicted.

At the heart of the Evil Empire is CEO Andrew Wilson, who has kept the company profitable by ignoring players and putting the shareholders as top priority. Despite being one of the most hated corporations in gaming, EA continue to churn out record profits year after year.

If I don't own it then I don't buy it or play it..I used to love EA baseball, but nothing changed over the years. I'm happy I got used to "The Show"

The game FC Mobile, aside from being the worst I’ve ever played in terms of gameplay, is a scam that carries prison sentences and exorbitant fines. The game’s algorithm is designed to manipulate the brain’s reward system and deliberately hook players, just like online casinos and slot machines. Not only does it drain players of their money, but it’s designed in the most toxic way possible, so that it’s also harmful to mental health. Do you think I’m exaggerating? Belgium, the Netherlands, and Austria have already banned pay-to-play packages, and the company paid exorbitant fines because minors were losing a lot of money; they even threatened company executives with prison sentences if they didn’t comply with the court ruling. This guy is a pathetic con artist, a danger to society, and he should rot in prison.

please make a video about cfb27

— @2shifty_6

EA are the publishers of games like The Sims, Star Wars Battlefront II, Apex Legends, and sports games like FIFA, Madden, and NHL.

They hold the Guinness World Record for most downvoted Reddit comment, with the infamous, “to give players a sense of pride and accomplishment”.

Cfb27 is the epitome of greed

Quick answer
Real gamers (ppl who love the game for the game) hate EA.
Casuals (one off players,sports game players, etc) support them.

11:45 They do this to non sports games to. Wherever EA has once invested in, that game and that project is fated to go under the same path
They had games under this program called "EA Game Innovation" in the early 2000s and worked together with universities across US.
That incubation project has since, seeded some interesting billion dollar empires into the cozy genre...

I was a technical art director working at EA that was laid off as a result of this acquisition. I think there's more to be concerned with than just the buyout. What I'm really more concerned about is their javelin anti cheat system. This is a root kit which can operate without windows knowing what's going on. How many people (like military people for example) play this game and have sensitive information on their computers ? That's the real red flag nobody is talking about. As much as we like to think that private or top secret corporate or military data is secure, leaks happen, especially if it affects the individual directly. This could pose a grave security risk if this tool was used inappropriately.

All you people coming here and commenting on EA, remember it’s still one of the highest grossing studios every year. And you beaching over something you can’t afford doesn’t make a real impact in the real world 😂

@harshavardhansonawane8076

the current state of the gaming industry is the fault of the gamers and secumbing to anti consumer policies, the consumers must rise and stop buying games from the already known bad publishers.

And now EA is about to dig their grave even deeper. They agreed to be acquired by a private equity of the Saudi PIF. And Private Equity has been known to destroy many businesses and companies often due to being burdened with debt they cannot pay-off, with EA now saddled with $20 billion in debt. They are is likely going to end up shuttered, which would be an ironic end for a company that has been known to put companies they've acquired to go under.

I almost regret buying Veilguard when it came out. I had no idea what Dragon Age was at the time but the trailer was interesting enough that I got it. I regret giving EA money, but I can’t regret getting into Dragon Age. I’m furious that my favorite franchise was butchered beyond repair and how their team was gutted and thrown away. We barely got something playable. If not for the devs pushing back, we would’ve gotten some live service microtransaction-filled slopfest. It’s definitely a far cry from its predecessors, which I’m sad about.

I bought the latest WRC game which is an EA franchise. I only bought it because Codemasters (the same studio that made the DiRT series) was behind the production. I lost interest overtime because the game just felt empty for some reason. I’m really sad that EA bought codemasters because that means they will eventually go bankrupt. This shit just sucks man.

EA still exists for the same reasons scalpers exist - the people buying their products are the problem.

And the sad thing is we don’t have anyone else to blame but our own community for continuing to engage and buy this slop

Wait wait wait, how does EA get worst company of the year at any point in time? I hate them yes but McDonalds literally sells human flesh.

@urosprodic137

MLBB is the new EA. I love the game. But got destroyed when you play too much. The game lags or even using delayed tatics or buttons cant be touched. The worst part is the match making when you just playing solo. You need 3-5 players that you really trust to play the game.

@Elly-gu5wn

DEA it's ruined the game

@OutlawStar87
@

Main problem? Gamers are their worst enemy, would tell not to buy a game but buy it themselves anyways. It's like a toxic relationship and all there is are some Glucker9060.
