This is a meme at this point right? I can’t remember the last time EA actually did anything remotely as bad.

EA has been famous for buying up game studios only to shut them down shortly after back in the 90s

Yes, I know that, but they haven’t done anything egregious in quite some time. Microsoft, Sony, Take-two, Embracer and Activision have been been making a lot worse headlines for the last few years now.
