  1. Bare in mind that Disney has managed to effectively destroy the movie licence with one atrocious SJW movie. The people in charge are clearly living in a world of pure imagination, completely unconnected to the real world. Like every corporation on the planet really.

  2. Yeah, but they've been raking in the cash for months while defying the law, and no mention of million dollar fines to offset their profits.

  3. Further proof of the stupidity of only pursuing massive live services when you could produce half a dozen smaller games in the same time, for the same money, with far less risk and 6 times the chances of success.

  4. The great irony is, if they hadn't cancelled Hennig's game it would have released this year, because they cancelled it they needed a game for next year so they cancelled the open world "service" they replaced it with to poop out another rush job.

  5.  @jacobdavis6056  I tend to get bored and stop playing games that are too sales pitchy very quickly. Anyway, hoping Fallen Order will be good, would make a nice change, I can't remember the last time a game worth playing came out of EA and of course there hasn't been a decent Star Wars game since 2010.

  6. You sir are conflating all hardcore gamers into the one genre of Online Looters, ignoring all the other genres and especially single-player games. Not all games require endless grind to be good and unneccessary grind can truly ruin a linear single-player game, just look at Rise of and Shadow of the Tomb Raider for proof. Or the pointless orc grinding in Shadow of War which existed purely to sell Loot Boxes. I consider myself a hardcore gamer and I am no stranger to grinding, done a ton of it in several games but mostly in GTA V. But there is gtood grind and bad grind and some games do not require grind at all and yet are still proper games, for example Tomb Raider 2013, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, KOTOR, Jedi Knight, DA:O to name just a few. People aren't casual just because they dislike having to spend hundreds of hours grinding for meagre rewards. You are correct though that the casual market and in particular the whales within it are ruining the industry for true gamers, but that is more to do with corporations like EA being short-sighted idiots who despite wanting all the money in the world, refuse to make games that most gamers will buy.
