EA doing a shitty thing?
Must be a day that ends in Y.

>EA Will Use Generative AI For Greater Monetization Efficiency
there we go
commander_weenie
AI will go full Ultron and decide the best gaming experience is for EA to not exist

“EA will use generative AI to churn out worse content more quickly while exploiting and disenfranchising artists and developers even more than previously, in the name of further enriching its executives and shareholders” – more accurately.
SexyMuskrat
We went from
EA games, challenge everything
To
EA games, we ruin everything.

So if EA is 30% more efficient at making games and reduces the cost to make said games, the price will drop by 30%, right?

“bUt WhY wOn’T oUr AAAAAAAAAA gAmE sElL, gAmErS aRe To BlAmE”
EA, soon.
MeanGreanHare
Workflow efficiency? Sure. Generative AI can aid in conceptualization. Hopefully they don’t replace concept artists outright.
Monetization growth? This is where I see the problem. It sounds like they’re going to use generative AI to make more “unique premium content” more quickly.

Never fails to fail

They’ve always sucked but now they suck more and will continue to suck forever. Buncha sucks.
Auvoria
They should really upgrade their actual intelligence first
ZealousMajestic
EA would do *anything* for “Monetization Growth”. Including kicking puppies and stealing a policeman’s hat, pooping in it, mailing it back to the policeman’s wife, then stealing it again… and when I say anything, I mean Eh-Nee-Thing-Guh.
Also, that’s such a corporate way of saying “make more money”.
Short-Cucumber-5657
Sounds like alot of work just to change a number on the FIFA box
Schibli
to hell with EA.
VVynn
And shittier games.
drgnsamurai
In this day and age how is anybody even still buying EA Games. They’ve turned out crap for years, and now their company has become entirely toxic. Just stop buying their games and they will disappear.
Inevitable_Geometry
Awesome! I will continue to not buy their shit.
sockets1984
But if they use ai to do the work they won’t feel that “sense of pride and accomplishment” they’re so famous for talking about.
shapookya
Good. It’s about damn time those rich artists get some competition! No more avocado toast for you!
(If it wasn’t obvious enough: /s)
Ok-Stuff-8803
Stop buying EA games. It’s the only way they will learn
KingseekerCasual
It would be cool if the AI realized CEO bonuses should be minimized and live service games lose money
hardy_83
If they want to save money, replace the CEO with AI. You’ll say 20 million in salary and stock/bonuses a year with that move and would probably net you better more profitable business decisions.
HOUSEHODL
Using buzz words won’t make you not trash, EA. GFY
ScottOld
EA need people to buy those micro transactions, or is it a feature of the game that AI randomly buys them while you play
Mindful-O-Melancholy
What’s it going to take for all gamers to agree and stop buying EA games?
JonFrost
Their games are already soulless copies of last year’s so this tracks well for them
Kahzgul
Hey OpenAI, write me code that will create a video game with an addictive gameploy loop which feeds into an abusive microtransactional system.
marniconuke
i’m sure this will give us great games
chronicnerv
Cost Efficiency Officers (CEO’s) of today are not far off being replaced themselves by A.I.
There is a fiduciary responsibility to the shareholder and their bonuses, shares and salary are and now an obstacle to this responsibility.
Horicin
And people will continue to buy their games anyway, because only a small fraction of people actually give a shit if games are drawn by someone vs generated by someone.
It was fun to resist for a while. At least we will get ai waifus out of it some day.
KarnWild-Blood
Don’t worry, consumers will still reward them by purchasing their shitty games, and then complain about it.
mnl_cntn
Another reason to continue not buying their games!
DrunkTsundere
EA is such a business nowadays. Nothing they make is worth it at all.
Left4DayZGone
I’m just gonna go ahead and draw a line in the sand, and state that I am 100% against the use of AI in creative fields. If AI can help advance medical science and so forth then I’m all for it, but for art, entertainment, etc- absolutely not.
EndStorm
And their games will be even shittier than now.
sdestrippy
In other words your character skins that you buy will be made by A.i in couple minutes and sold for $20.
RiverBuffalo495
In other news EA will streamline my decisions to never buy their games.
radda
That’s just corpo speak for “We don’t want to pay humans to do it because we’re cheap assholes”.
prinnydewd6
There has to be a point where gamers and people say enough is enough with ai. It should be used to help us save lives. Not make us more broke. Hate ai. It’s going to ruin a ton of shit.
