Gaming news too small for its own thread

We are EA your individual IP will be assimilated and added into our own. Resistance is futile.

They only want the licenses, wouldn’t be surprised if codemasters disappeared in a year as a brand.

Much like Burnout, we will never see a dirt or project cars again.
Itll be F1 every year with an ultimate team style bull**** and loot boxes.
Everything else will be swallowed up.

As I've said to people in the past, give it until the next generation and it will just be EA, Ubisoft, Activision and the first parties releasing software, with a few indies doing digital only.

Much as I said the PS4 would be my last console, the backwards compatability of the PS5 is tempting me....

EA might have swallowed Codies but...

A Saudi Arabian investment company has swallowed big chunks of EA, Activision and Take Two

It's not a simple investement company headquartered in Saudi Arabia, but it's the state-owned and Saudi prince-led Public Investment Fund. You know, the guy who ordered a journalist killed.

They own a ****load of SNK too. There were photos of some prince (not MBS) with a special gold version of that teeny tiny Neo Geo cab before the thing was even officially announced IIRC.

This is where videogames are, now. Any vestiges of it being a scrappy industry have now long since fallen away.

Celebrating a game's 8th birthday is a thing? Is there more to this?

Thank goodness, I can now order some physical editions of switch games not available in the UK.
