Maybe they can update FIFA 2027 this time so it's about winning a FIFA peace prize instead of playing soccer

It looks like soccor but its just another Battlefield game where you declare victory over Iran 30 times.

Probably the only game where absolutely nobody would want any sex scenes

IDK if anyone there has history that goes back that far, but imagine having worked on the original Baldur's Gate, and now your company (BioWare) belongs to Jared fucking Kushner.

I played EA's shadow of the beast, like 30 years ago. I remember back then thinking that EA was the best gaming company ever.
Good times

The Battlefield series always had been my favorite (and basically only) game that I've playet over the past 15 years or so. I stopped after battlefield 5, never saw the last one, and I know I will never play it ever again which makes me a little sad. I loved playing Ina group of coworkers and friends together, forming multiple squads and working together to a goal.
Good times, but all good thongs...
