I swear, it's like corporations woke up one day and collectively said, "I don't like making money anymore."
that scene in toy story but instead of Andy dropping woody in the garbage its Sony dropping millions of dollars
At this rate its also like companies wake up and chose bankruptcy💀💀
They like money, but they just like making it as if they were a factory farm- as efficiently & quickly as possible, the ethics & consequences be damned.
Or, more rather, “I want money and control _NOW.”_
“Long-term sustainability” is not in their vocabulary.
They don't seem to realize that most people don't buy shitty games and they then do stuff like this to get money back and the cycle continues.
we called it. so... SO MANY people called this. i fucking *KNEW* it was only a matter of time, now the question is how long until people defend advertising by saying "oh it's only in the menus and pause screen".

Yea I should take my pills...
EA is getting more fucked up than it already is.
Sports game players are simply too dumb.
The thing about sports games' fans....... *they're some of the most vulnerable and exploitative player base out there*. They have no creativity for better games, they have no options for alternatives, and they are just trapped in a skinner box that bleeds them dry of their addiction
It is a very hostile corner that only the biggest markets can really put themselves into. they need to have licenses to even present the teams and the players inside, and if a brand is big enough they can ask for money and if a studio is big enough they could force brands to not give away licenses to smaller games, leading to a monopoly and basically no resistance
EA needs to stop cooking

@@racingraptor4758this is the age of indie games, literally anyone can make a good game now and fortunately people are getting tired of triple a shenanigans
I wish you were right, but I'd bet good money people are just gonna let it happen. Just like micro transactions in 60$ games
Man, with the sony, xbox and ea with their adding ads, losing revenue, region locking and bankrupting studios, this makes Nintendo look like the good guy with their anti-emulation mindset and stopping their twitter feature on the switch.
Well Nintendo was suing gmod forcing them to remove all the Nintendo mods, they really aren’t much better honestly they spend more money on lawsuits than games, it’s practically been confirmed.
It was a troll that sued GMod

From what I understand with the Apple ad, it's the insinuation that the iPad Pro can render various appliances defunct. Another way of looking at it is to imagine Netflix making an ad of them burning down a movie theater before the ashes consolidate into a membership gift card (not with people inside, of course). It's pretentious and makes it look like Apple is saying that their new device is so cool that musical instruments, paint, cameras and so on aren't necessary anymore because the iPad is apparently an amazing all-in-one device without any compromises. "You don't need your guitar or canvas anymore because our product offers both of what they have and more."
Why is Sony heldbent on making sure nobody can play their games? Accessibility is going into the 🗑️ over there at PlayStation
sometimes it feels like every big video game company doesn't want people to play their games. take nintendo for example, who don't remake, rerelease or port older games, sometimes even taking away ways to play a game completely (rusty's real deal baseball on the 3ds, which as of right now you can only get legally if you buy an entire 3ds second hand) and then they sue people for pirating such games. reggie and iwata were no saints by any means but they're still better than bowser (hehe) and furukawa or whatever his name was
Because they hate Super Earth (and the entire African continent apparently)

@@flamingrubys11 To add more to the comment someone made replying to yours, steam has regional prices, which let developers change the price depending on where the user lives, so they wont go broke on a single game

If i see an ad of a product while im playing videogame i will go and leave a bad review on that product
I remember years back playing Saints Row 2 that they would have a Resident Evil movie ad on the billboards. If they put ads in games they should do it subtly like others games have been doing not a full blown tv commercial
I feel like only indie games wouldn't eventually
The ad just makes me feel like they destroyed a bunch of stuff for no reason which is pretty wasteful.
Fun fact
despite being a Japan culture, Ghost Of Tsushima is banned in Japan
How is it banned?
From what I've seen it's pc port along with other games have been delisted in select countries which seems to Sony's doing after the helldivers 2 fiasco.
The what?
It's official @@nightmarearcade2663...
Sony doesn't like fun
Basically Sony made it so you require to have a PSN account to play their games on PC such as helldivers 2. The problem arises with the fact that many countries don't have their consoles being sold which is the only way to create a PSN account. This obviously angered many people especially those who already bought the game and Sony on a post online said they would retract the idea due to player feedback. However many had noticed that the game wasn't available anymore in a lot of countries or they actually went through with the PSN requirement. I forget which of the two but you get the picture.
This is the REAL ad-apocalypse, can’t escape em’ now. It’s too late at this point, y’all should’ve stopped them a long time ago
The patent story is crazy. Somehow connects 3 games(WoW, CoDBO3, CoDAW) & conflict between ActivionBlizzard VS Accelaration Bay & patent seller being Boeing(The same company with defected planes & whistleblowers that "dies in mysterious ways").
Fans: hey ea can we have battlefront 3?
Ea: nah here's some ads, though
what I find most laughable about the twitter thing is that everything that elon has done has made it impossible for him to make money off of it, since if you report any kind of ads, it seems like they get permanantly blocked on your end which makes it incredibly unlikely for them to get monetization, also the literal lack of moderation makes it even more likely that ads get deleted with a bot, and the 42,000 per month for the API thing is just incredibly stupid, I mean that just kills your chances of having anything besides a website. i'm fine with the whole thing, i mean elon's conversion of twitter in links to X on the mobile version just enables scams so hard, so i'm not suprised that he can't make good monetization strategies for the life of him
3:43 You forgot to mention that it’s also the same company whose whistleblowers “unalive” themselves...
The reason for helldivers 2 and ghost of tsushima is obvious. They're preparing for the PSN account requirement for everything. They're just waiting for the right moment.
And when every game gets PSN account, nobody will be.
it's like EA is just trying to suffocate their games lmao.
hell nah if this goes widespread im quitting gaming
sony needs to be sued by the countries it blocks from buying games
The reason why Sony [and other software companies] do not operate certain nations is usually because they don't agree with the domestic internet laws, that and server space being too expensive. You can't sue an entity for boycotting a nation because they are not obligated to operate there.
@@thefool3424 I'd be more inclined to respect that if they weren't also banning people for using a VPN
@thebigblox4297 Depending on the law they can get in trouble for allowing that sort of loophole.
@@thefool3424 could they just not allow the multi-player features in those regions?
@thebigblox4297 It's more than that. You see the major problem is the laws and server space. All the servers and clients have to play nice with each other. Sony and other companies actually _use to_ be digitally region unlocked, the problem is that as internet laws were added and changed domestic servers obviously had to be reprogrammed to operate by them. Not only that but some nations and sovereign governments (like the EU) are notorious for forcing any entity (including individual people) to comply with their laws so long as they have a digital presence in or make digital contact with, the sovereign state in question. Trying to reconcile all this in a practical and cost-effective way without negatively impacting the end-users is for the most part, impossible. Telling people to just use a VPN would be a slap in the face to the domestic governments.
Sorry for the Ted talk.
I swear it's as if game devs/publishers want gamers to pirate their games.
about the ads... when the hell did corporations think it was a good idea to plaster ads over every little thing in life? first it was excessive prerolls, then its ads in mobile games, then ads in game games, then its youtube deciding "let's have people watch ads when they PAUSE A VIDEO" (i'm guessing the ads are prerolls and not what hulu did and just show sponsors like charmin and the real cost), and if we keep letting this slide, we'll reach a point where we have to watch 10 minutes of clash royale and tide pods ads before going up a *goddamn elevator.*
"it's 8 dollars you can't be mad" it's food for a week in my country
EA normalizing the monetary "value" of phone games for the pc/console market.
They've already done this. The only thing that matters is if it's unintrusive product placement or billboard ads versus unskippable ads before I get to play the game.
Another thing I want to mention is that outside of indie games, there's basically NO competition to Madden or NHL. And that means they can make the games as bad as they want without any consequences. Same with the WWE games.
better idea
stop buying EA
Vote with your wallets
Hades 2 remind about how Doom didn't have any advertisements but was in every computer
Imagine your game pausing CZcams style for two 20 second unskipable AD's!
You can’t spell diarrhea without EA 😮
You also can’t spell nausea without EA
OKAY REAL TALK, I bet the reason corporations keep shooting themselves in the foot is shareholders.
Like, the only people with the money to buy shares would be other big companies, and so I bet the ads would be of the companies who own the shares. The ads aren't for money, they're to strengthen their brand. They don't want to make a profitable game, profit was never the point. Branding is.
That's my headcanon.
2:20 "I have seen a few complaints on Twitter"
Water still wet, scientists baffled.
I support ads in videogames if AND ONLY if they are diegetic and unobtrusive.
Like say, a billboard with real product placement in a game like GTA, or maybe some ad on a screen in a sports game.
Stuff you would expect IRL.
Just shoving an un-skippable ad in your face is a horrible idea. If you are gonna do it, at least do it right.
They wouldn’t do this if they weren’t desperate for cash. The gaming industry is imploding and I couldn’t be happier. The industry has been going downhill for 10 years. The day of reckoning has come for these companies
Indie games will soon become the real flagship games, that's my guess
All it need is 2 single days just 2 where their cash cow game don't go well on start and the death spilar will start
NFS MW 2005 had Ads on billboards and places like: Burger king and Axe body spray.
Pirates: Business is booming
I guess i will have to put my splatposts somewhere else now
there are alread ads in game in the form of ad banners and stuff but given that we talk about EA here.... realistic superbowl halftime show incoming in madden i guess.
It's a new dawn for indie gaming. Finally, actually good games by people who aren't money hungry
I’m never buying their games again ever, throwing away all my 164 copies of Fifa right now.
this week in the news, EA is a terrible company with no respect for consumers
wait that's not news that's just tuesday
Thank God I don't buy from EA. What happened to just paying for a game and being able to go on your way? No microtransactions, no in-game ads.
You younglings don't remember Battlefield 2142. EA/DICE had ads in that at the beginning, they were quite cool actually on the ingame billboards. It was discontinued because probably nobody noticed them with all the explosions going or a sniper killing you when you stood still to look at anything for too long.
imagine playing plants vs zombies and instead of the zombies eating your brains they show you an advertisement while the NOOOOOOOOOO sound effect plays
by the way, i wouldn’t call content warning a silent drop, landfall (the games developer) makes games that release every april fools day as a yearly tradition, which is also why it was free on release, so people who follow the company could get it quickly
This…this is terrible idea ea
As a Nintendo fan, I’m happy that my game company isn’t abnormally pulling bullshit, it’s just doing it’s slightly less bad normal bullshit
They could get away with ads in sports games since it technically adds realism. Sports events have a lot of ads irl. Hell in one of the nba games your character could get in game sponsored by irl companies.
The fact that the gaming industry is one of the most profitable of the entire world, yet one that treats it's workers so poorly, is just depressing.
Imagine playing a competitive gane and huge pop ad blinds your screen
I never thought this would ever be done.
It's fine. They can do whatever they want.
I will simply not buy any EA product ever again, until the end of time.
(not just the games with ads in them)
For someone who's been buying >50 games a year since 1980, losing customers like me actually has a chance of ruining them.
first i thought you were talking about immersive billboard type ads. i like those. it makes the game feel more real like it takes place in the real world.
The patent is "Navagation with optimum viewpoints in three-dimensional workspace interactive displays having three-dimensional objects with collision barriers"
Reminder that the CEO of EA wanted a microtransaction system mid-battle for BF1 for ammo
Bruh don't let EA ruin that game
Bro just assaulted my ears with information
yeah i was one of the first people on hades 2, i was literally on the steam page when it dropped.
i was refreshing because the steamdb was updated and it was ecstatic
we're never gonna know when silksong is gonna drop because it just will when it's done
I guess people forgot about actual ads in digital billboards roughly two decades ago. Need for Speed, anyone? EA is just getting with the times, unfortunately.
it's like all of the companies are trying to see who can be the worst
If Dragon Age 4( although I’m 85% sure it’s never coming out) had ads that I was forced to watch while playing, I think I’d have to choose violence.
me when the "take a break" ad in a *multiplayer match*
that thing about content warning happened to one of my friends cause they didnt know it was free for the first day but my other friends knew
Hi-Fi Rush was shadow dropped and it won like 8 awards, got nominated for best debut indie game along with Pizza Tower (I think), and killed Forespoken and its studio! Indies shadow dropping and showing up AAA companies is hilarious
I want to make a note here:
There are ways to put ads.
And
THERE ARE WAYS TO PUT ADS. >:(
If you want a good example just look at Jack and Daxter 2.
Ad placement: not an issue, just play the game, ignore it.
Ads during load screens: slow the game down just to force you to watch an ad in the game you paid $60+ for. No.
I'm pretty sure back in Battlefield 2142 there were a few ads on billboards throughout some maps
Im gonna go insane
"WE"
EA? Putting ads in games? Nah. Say it ain't so.
Edit: Remembered the bilboards in various Need For Speed and Burnout have also had ads. Those are often non destructable too if there's destroyable signs like in Paradise.
As a matter of fact, there were plenty of games even 30 years ago with ads in them in the form of billboards, posters etc. Subtle, non-obtrusive, but they were still there. It was kind of fun to see even.
The way they do it nowadays is just disgusting.
The reason I dislike the apple ad is it seems to render the stuff destroyed irrelevant, someone said that putting the ad in reverse makes it seem so much better while keeping the same point, the way it is it feels kida distasteful
If you wear pieces of equipment with ads on them you get a small exp booster that stacks with the ones you already bought, on top of your battlepass boost. You get a big bonus for winning and performing a sponsored victory pose but there are small bonuses for sponsored death poses as well.
I just made that up. I'm hoping someone with talent makes fake gameplay of it as a meme to get ahead of EA. That's literally all we can do against them.
We got all these crazy stuff happening and it is getting more intense. It really makes you want to put ion a gorilla suit and live in the woods before it gets destroyed.
EA putting ads in their games feels like a natural progression for them, honestly.
It wasnt a suprise with content warning being dropped like that since landfall has been doing it for years now.
This is what happens when ownership is determined by shareholding and not by employee support.
I can't think of any logical reason for Sony keeping the game region locked besides some obscure red tape somewhere.
Didn't Death Stranding put monster energy drinks in their game? People just don't count that as an advertisement?
Can’t wait for whopper ad in new Madden
EA for me is now going to be called: All Ads.
I'm fine with ads in games when it's something like a livery in a car game or a billboard, not when it's something that actively takes away from the immersion and wastes your time like watching a video ad after a match. This is totally stupid
I wish they at least did those ads like cerveza crystal beer Chilean ads
They can't put ads in my games, I don't own any EA games.
Not suprised from EA doing this. Heck, some of the achievements in Prostreet are even Sponsored by Progressive and K&N!
