Meanwhile I’m buying indie games for way less and they work like a charm. Fuck EA
I refuse to even humor those companies anymore. overpriced garbage. Indi devs all day. I have more fun, I actually finish games and I acquire more because they cost so much less
And the games just feel so much more like a game. Idk how to explain it, maybe some nostalgia involved, but a game like stardew has captivated me way more than anything any massive company has really been putting out. They’re so obsessed with realism and updated tech that the games always feel soulless in the end
I’ve just given up on multiplayer, its just not fun anymore. I’ve been playing expo 33, blue prince, phantom liberty and lies of P and having a great time. They just don’t make fun multiplayer anymore. If they made something like halo 3 or bad company 2 I’d be back in a heart beat. I think the last multiplayer game I actually got into was rainbow 6 siege and but even that drove me away after year 4-5 or something.
I keep hoping they won’t fuck this up… But it’s EA.
With how ridiculous COD is, all they have to do is keep it relatively on theme and they’ll get a shit ton of people.
It has kernel level anti-cheat malware that does not work for it’s stated purpose and it requires Secure Boot and TPM 2.0.
It is already very much fucked up.
True. …but it’s EA we’re talking about.
It’s a very different game though. They’re very different and attract different crowds.
The crazy thing about multiplayer games like this that the players are expected to provide the content and pay for the privilege. I wanna pay $70 to be an NPC in someone else’s game.
What’s good about these games? your playing other people.

IMO they should make a reward system for reporting cheaters. Specifically you earn credit towards your own dedicated server or becoming a moderator on an official one.
imo you shouldn’t give them money until they stop treating you like garbage. 3 new games where they don’t treat you like crap should be the minimum to even consider them a potential gaming company.
I haven’t bought an EA game in years. But a lot of games have problems with cheaters. I think deputizing players who take the time to report cheaters is the best way to combat the problem.
Like the real problem is that submitting a ticket doesn’t deal with the cheater fast enough to stop them from ruining the game for people. Live moderators however are an active deterrent as they can get your account blacklisted/banned much faster.
I haven’t really ran into many issues, performance has been good as well, also haven’t seen any cheaters yet.
