EA is the world's shittiest game company. Just gutter trash all the way through.

This is not going to end well.

Last thing I bought from them was Mass Effect (only the first one) circa 2008 I think.

Sure, why not? Its up to gamers to dump them, and only time will tell how this will evolve. It also comes to the point replacing employees with AI.

Just so people know, you can ignore games by publisher in steam by searching their name in the store, clicking their page, then click the gear icon to ignore. EA who? Ubiwhat?

For those that don't know, Stability AI is already a zombie, even in the local ML community. SD3 was a flop, and they shed all their devs/projects worth anything.

I've had EA on ignore for *years* and they still showed up on my front page during the last sale !

I dream of AI being used to generate cool, theme appropriate NPCs for an indie dev that doesn't have an army of talented writers at their disposal. But honestly let's face it, that's never what they'll aim for. It's all about not paying people, for these assholes. They'll happily *fire* their talented writers of they can use AI instead, never once wondering who's gonna feed the AI in the first place. And so it is a matter of principle to say no to AI in general, because you know they'll always pick the worst possible way to use it.

Why punish valve? Do that shit through origin.

Ubishit.

I don't want to punish my computer by installing origin.

This is actually kind of interesting. This gamble is very likely to fail, EA could finally die, and its valuable IP sold off to companies that would actually make better use of them. The only wrinkle in this is that Trump's son in law owns EA now, so if it does end up failing, they'll probably find a way to get US tax payers to bail them out.

We are entering the dark ages of AAA games. They are going to be shallow ugly, buggy and dumb. Support indie devs.

And your comment also counts for jackshit since you provided no evidence of your claims, not even your own experience. So you can fuck right off, buddy.

You make the claim it has an order of magnitude benefit, then you get to provide the proof. And there isn't any. [There is some evidence that people will fool themselves into thinking it makes them faster](https://www.reuters.com/business/ai-slows-down-some-experienced-software-developers-study-finds-2025-07-10/), and it sounds like you're one of them.

Clearly the fix the AAAA games.

Whoa this is the next level DMing. Before, to get the same result, you better have a whole team writing and producing content. You have recaps, illustrations and music for a TTRPG, yes it's still a ton of manual work but looking at how fast things are moving, it wouldn't surprise me if this is an app in a few years and everyone gets this amazing experience.

fuck ea I should have stop buying years ago
