Might want to look at what your current big game is bud.

I thought that's exactly what EA already was.
They also destroy anything original by buying up small companies and then shuttering/sabotaging their potential

Trash-ass publisher is gonna get slightly more trash?

I mean, if you expect anything but exactly that to happen you're either incredibly optimistic or just stupid. No offense. Some offense.

The only new EA product I have any interest in is Mass Effect 5.
They fuck that up, and I just won't give them any more of my money.

Spoiler alert: they're going to fuck it up.

It's hard to believe this wasn't intentionally ironic. And yet...

I like that more people are voicing their concerns but I don't think anybody thinks those specifically are the major concerns here, lol.

Anybody involved with Helldivers should make themselves real small, zip their mouths and sit on their hands after the community they so wholeheartedly endorse has ruined a guys life because he wanted to make a charity challenge for the devs.
I remember in Horizon Zero Dawn they had a section in the end credits of all the people in the company that became parents during development, which was cute. I'd like to petition something similar for Arrowhead, but with all the people who lost their kids during development, just to make sure that there are at least some people in that shitstain sellout corporation that know how despite doing nothing wrong, your life can be ruined by something out of you control.
