Lack of respect from part of the gaming industry, and that’s where EA comes in of course, towards the players, that is, towards the public on which it depends to maintain its business, continues to reach new heights. Downward, of course. It’s obvious that when a studio and publisher set out to release a game, they do so with economic ambitions, that can’t be criticized, because in reality they depend on that revenue to keep their business going and, with a bit of luck, get some extra benefits.

Now as the years go by We see a clear increase in the ambitions of the industry, an over-ambition that has on many occasions led them to completely subvert the final product they bring to market. There are many examples of what I’m saying, but since this news is about EA, which has already been criticized in this sense in the past, we can talk about the closing of studios, the dismissal of those who oppose dubious models, their determination to get loot. boxes and, of course, also for being on the list of publishers who brought half as many games to market.

I clarify that I am not saying that this is something exclusive to EA, unfortunately and as I said at the beginning, It is already manifesting itself as an endemic evil in the sectorbut it is true that, according to what history tells us, it is one of the most representative societies (in quantity and diversity) of all these techniques… let’s say that they are debatable, although what comes out of us is to say something much more emphatic and aggressive.

Well, they don’t seem to learn from the past, so they are going to repeat a pattern that has worked well for them in the past. As we can read on TechSpot, EA intends to introduce advertising in its Type A games. Yes, exactly the ones for which you have to pay 60, 70 or even 80 euros for their basic version, and which can also come with more bugs than a shotgun wound on a pilgrimage. Well, now the menu is supplemented with the fact that EA will monetize even more, thanks to the advertising that you will have to swallow in these titles.

As I mentioned, this isn’t actually the first time EA has used this formula, and it’s true that in some cases they’ve managed to make these inserts look a little more natural. Attempts like the one in 2020 (which was also, treacherously, not present in the original version of the games, but was deployed a month later so as not to affect reviews, both professionals and players), received a response. so negative In the end, the company had to back down. It seems that they have not been taught and that their level of respect for the player remains as low as ever.

In another unrelated order of things, comment that P2P exchange networks are in a great moment.
