People forgot?
EA has done enough dogshit things that we don’t need to remember every specific thing they’ve done to know they’re assholes.
They don’t forget. They don’t care
One of the best need for speed games out there has in game ads just buildings like Best Buy. Honestly I wouldn’t have a problem playing a FPS killing people inside a Walmart.
2K has done it for years already before EA even thought about it and they are still doing it
What’s an EA? There are children born who have only known a world the rule-of-thumb is never preorder games from EA, or better yet don’t play any game from EA. Because all they release are the same game reskinned and stuffed with microtransactions.
Much, much further back than that. Pretty sure the old future battlefield had axe body spray billboards back in the day.
They’ll keep trying til it passes.
Yeah but they have pushed the bar even further into the depths so people will probably just accept it this time
Wasn’t there already that in old ea games like need for speed underground?
To the surprise of no one…
The earliest form of product placement in a game is 1984 with a game called Tapper.
So, while everyone is screaming about how new and recent product placement in games today are to them.
It’s been a thing for 30+ years.
I’ve seen ads in ea games so
Doesn’t their sport games still have ads in them?
EA sucks…. American McGee had a design, story and even all art ready to create a 3rd Alice game (Huge fan of the series). EA owns the IP, EA tuned him down and would not sell the IP so no 3rd game that many have been waiting for.
EA totally sucks…
Made EA Sports games in the 2000s. We did ads. Namely McDonald’s launched the “I’m lovin’ it” jingle and promotion with NBA Live.
