I can’t wait to shoot my way around war torn half destroyed cities with pristine advertising signs in the next Battlefield.

Man, EA just fully doesn’t give a shit about making games anymore, eh?

Oh no, don’t make me not buy your product even more. I’m already at 0.
16 daysIf the game is not good on its own and requires ads to be profitable… Then it’s not worth buying anyway

EA you’re already known as the worst, you don’t need to prove the point any more…
Between them, Ubisoft, and Blizzard/Activision, it’s been a frantic race to the bottom.

EA to my knowledge just has shitty business practices. Ubisoft at a minimum had a culture of sexual harrassers, possibly assaulters. Blizzard certainly had rapists. Ubisoft also with the pioneering always online DRM for single player games getting back to the games portion of their evils

Looks like another punishment for buying their games legally. Cracked versions don’t connect to their servers so they wont load ads.

Years ago there was an rpg based around skittles. Yes skittles. It was a banger, fun as hell. It also flopped because absolutely-fucking no one wants to play an advertisement.
Listen here EA - the world fucking sucks, no one is fucking happy. Can you just focus on making fun fucking things and not take a giant enshitification all over the one things most of us have to keep us from being on top of a water tower with a high powered rifle? Can we have ONE FUCKING THING??!
The best game that was just an advertisement was Chex Quest. But, I mean, they hired some teenagers who loved Doom to make the game and gave them little to no oversight other than “explain what a healthy breakfast is and include Chex cereal.” So they just made a kick-ass Doom clone that only marginally advertises the cereal.

Weirdly enough, there’s been A FEW of these types of games that were based either on a specific product or a specific brand, and they were for the most part, weirdly well done for the times they released in and actually sorta fun.
Off the top of my head, Pepsiman for a specific product and the whole lot of Lego games if we’re talking about a whole product line.
I think that whole genre is called advergames
I foresee this getting their titles kicked off steam, since their developer TOS pretty much forbids this.

I remember when EA was the Goat back in the Commodore 64 days. How far they’ve fallen.
Greatest Offering Around Then?
Because “greatest of all time” implies it’s also great now… which is a time.
We can’t know what’s going to be the greatest of all time in the future, only what’s the greatest of all time so far.
Very hot take but maybe Nintendo? I know, I know. They suck in some regards. But some of their games are still innovative.
