OK how long before they start selling off their IPs? We already know they are going to be gutting most of their studios (FFS) but that will only do so much before they start needing more. My bet... within a year.

EA officially goes private tonight, meaning: - EA will no longer trade on the NASDAQ for the first time in 36 years - All stockholders of EA (including many employees) will receive $210/share - EA will take on $18 billion (!) in debt, putting it on the hook to pay ~$1.8 billion/year in interest

I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50

I’ve volunteered at food pantries and you sometimes get people upset to see someone in a nice car using a food pantry and I need to completely assure you that the person with the nice car actually is in need of that food because people who aren’t in need do not pretend to need food

A really funny complaint about the Zohran discount grocery store idea is that non-poor people could use it when there’s a grocery store half a mile from my grocery store that has everything cost 20% more that rich people go to because they don’t want to shop with normal people.

We are not having an appropriate response to repeated recent lynchings AT ALL.

[Person who has only seen Boss Baby] All the people who are anti-Boss Baby or want less Boss Baby sequels, I have one question: If Boss Baby disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without watching The Boss Baby or The Boss Baby: Family Business?

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Honestly, even if Honey Parade Games returns to console development, I don't see a future where anything Senran Kagura gets localized. Which is a shame, because the global fanbase never left. We all just kind of became wayward souls with nowhere to go.

Senran Kagura: Shinobi Nexus is probably gonna become my go-to example of "they used to make normal games that looked like this before it all became anime girl slot machines"

The puma sisters, Anapuma and Unipuma

Puma Sisters from Dominion Tank Police (1985). Art by Masamune Shirow.

If you wanna know how much Shirow's thumb is on the scale of the latest Ghost in the Shell anime, the Puma Sisters make an appearance in the latest episode.

Seeing the Puma Sisters from Dominion Tank Police show up in The Ghost in the Shell is amazing to see. #Theghostintheshell

血の輪廻のマリアちゃん

“You control the buttons you press” is an incredible reply to an insipid request and is a horrible, generationally stupid counter to someone critiquing a game’s design

the original “you control the buttons you press” tweet worked because it was in reply to a guy effectively asking the ID devs for a way to disable “jumping” in Mario and they met his stupid request with an even stupider answer to mock him. But everyone who uses the meme just is that guy unironically

EA got EA-ed. Man, the Trump Saudi connections too.

"Musk's first extraterrestrial landing will be a complete accident" is a fun thought, especially given how long the odds are:

i'm under the impression that the spacex chunk hitting the moon is accidental which, if true, is a genuinely impressive failure in as in the context of how large space is, statistically, the moon arguably does not exist

what did marvel rivals mean by this

Bad news with KOSA, though I do think the usual House-Senate rivalry will stifle it. Good news for everyone but Mike Lee that Mike Lee clowned himself as he does every time he opens his mouth to remind people he exists.

#savespeech #stopKOSA Senate Comm. Markup News Bad News: Senate KOSA did pass with democrat support. We all saw this coming though. Unsure on other bills. Good News: Mike Lee's SCREEN Act is dead for now. It failed to pass the bar. Overall, good job fighting. We're far from finished. Keep at it

Remember when they put Battleborne chracters in the first movie?

"Ready Player Two movie is officially in the works"

For further clarity, EA is going to be on the hook for paying 1.8 billion dollars a year in interest, whereas their current yearly profit is 1.5 .So their interest payments are 300 million more than their entire yearly profit. We're in the process of watching them tie a noose and look for a spot.

Pat Stares At BASTION@patstaresat.bsky.social · 4h ago

Yeah we're going to see anything remaining of value at EA get chopped up or thrown into the fire to keep warm, and of course they're going to lay off thousands of people so that the company gets the privilege of disintegrating in a few years. www.gamesradar.com/games/mass-l...
