    Oh no! What will I do without EA games?

    Oh wait, the same thing I’m currently doing. Not even playing them when they’re free on Gamepass.

      Preach. I got a free EA game from the epic store once. Even at that price point, it was not worth what I paid. Literally, there’s so much better shit I can fit in 100GB that even at 0$ that’s a bad investment

      I once made the mistake of buying the EA Pass (or whatever it’s called) on a discount. The entire catalog was nothing but 5-10 year old games. The only new games in the catalog were the two worst titles to put in your shitty pass: Battlefield 2142 and fucking FIFA.

    Reposting my other comment from another thread:

    How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week… like… I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won’t go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.

    These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn’t run on your computers is out of your control.

    Which raises the point, why don’t they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

      I wish Steam would allow us to ignore whole publishers instead of only specific games. Or at least let me filter them out in the shop when I’m looking for sales.

    Fuck EA, I already don’t buy their games because of their bullshit launcher. This will keep me not buying their game even more.

    Oh cool, another DRM on top of Origin to ruin my games

    Why can’t you be more like Blizzard, EA? (Can’t believe I wrote that sentence)

    Well, I never intend on paying for any EA title anyway, so I suppose I don’t need to worry about it.

  • EA anti-cheat sucks and is useless. One look at the KDR or literally impossible hit % rates at the top of the stats board is proof enough. They just don’t care.
