if i had to guess that's because their subscription is cheap, was even cheaper before, and offered a lot more than ubisoft. enshittification spiral is relatively recent
It's called dumping, it's how they fish the idiots.
huh? it's priced roughly the same as the competitors, ea play fits that definition much better
edit: my regional pricings makes the comparison a lil harder, but it's 3 bucks for ea play and like 6 for game pass, i think the proportions are the same elsewhere
Explain how. I'd like to hear your reasoning for this. Not saying EA is not dumping, just how that's at all relevant to the BIGGEST company in gaming dumping or not.
Windows is the most deployed non business OS in the entire world. Every single Win10 and 11 user gets constant popus reminding them of gamepass offers. Every single computer electronics item, laptops et al sold in the EU has 1-3 months of FREE gamepass attached. Each laptop sold with Windows gets 3 free month's worth of Gamepass. I'd like to know how EA play is worse (especially considering till Satya whipped Spenser like the little bitch he is you could get GP for 12-48€ for a year, some people subscribed for several years).
lol i don't, check your settings maybe
ah, there's the problem. nothing like that where i live so ea undercutting gamepass by 100% seems like they're the ones dumping
I guess Microsoft's astroturfing budget for fringe social networks like lemmy can really only afford bottom of the barrel quality huh...
This is how to remove them. A significant portion of these ads are not possible to change from userspace and are grayed out. Most people won't even know how to do it, which begs the question How does the reply "WoRkS fOr Me" is at all relevant to the request I made regarding an explanation why is EA access worse than gamepass.
Uh, if you undercut something by 100% you give it away for free, it is indeed dumping. More relevant, where do you live so I can use a VPN to get free gamepass? If you meant, undercuts GP by 50%, and seeing you're on sopuly, which is hosted within the EU, in the FTA countries the situation is the same, an overwhelming majority of OEM win11 keys on PCs with NVIDIA graphics are bundled with 1-3 months of free gamepass. Now I'm more curious from which backwater place you originate that the OEMs take the bundles from their customers. Interestingly enough, I'd also like to know where is EA access half of gamepass PC, considering Gamepass includes EA access...
Ukraine. 130 vs 230 uah, respectively.
so GP includes EA access
230 - 130 (EAA) = 100 uah, meaning if anyone is dumping is Microsoft, it's just behind an insurmountable amount of complicated arithmetic operations.
Thank you for proving my point.
jfc, how old are you?
yes, I meant 50%. I don't see how saying win 10 doesn't force gamepass ads is at all relevant to the rest of this discussion. didn't say ea pass is worse, i said it fits the description better, judging from the pricing alone
