They kinda did, and the person you replied to mentioned it — Callisto protocol

given the budget was like 160 mil, not exactly Indy but:

“The Callisto Protocol was a brand-new IP from a newly established studio, but he game received mixed reviews from critics, which may have affected its appeal to players. The PC version of the game was plagued by performance problems at launch, which may have deterred some players.”

True but even the original creator made a legally distinct game that was essentially deadspace and it didn’t sell well either…

Is it a problem with EA or with the IP (or state of the market for the moment) if it doesn’t do well with and without EA?

It’s an old series that has already tried remakes that failed and the original creator went and made their own deadspace but as a totally distinct IP and it too did not sell well….

But yes, EA can’t manipulate kids into gambling so that is totally the reason why they aren’t renewing the series…. Yeah it’s about tricking children into to gambling and totally not investing in something the market has clearly shown to be not interested in at the moment.

Lastly, yeah, EA is a piece of shit for using mtx and the like to trick people in general into chasing bullshit, but I think it doesn’t help anyone to regurgitate unrelated claims whenever possible.

When they’re pushing lootboxes into kid games, then cry about it there. This has nothing to do with that.

People are sick of remakes, remasters and endless sequels over original content, so EA says okay (given that their last deadspace was a remake that didn’t sell well), and now we have the other side of the pendulum where everyone’s up in arms because they didn’t renew an existing series that has seen a long term drop in interest and revenue….

Why is anybody even remotely surprised

Wow what a fuckin surprise, thankfully this came before the next US admin takes office. I’m sure RFK Jr will adjust his informed stance any day now…..

Hezbollah and Hamas are awful terrorist organizations (that do not really compare to the IRA btw) that also commit human rights abuses constantly. Obligatory fuck Israel and the IDF.

“Haha, I prefer the less-bad human rights violators”

Where’s the joke?

Who gives a FUCK what the clergy think???? Ask the scientists and be done with it, otherwise you may as well just open a damn suggestion box and let any old moron have their say.

The only experience clergy have here is the “sex with underage children” part.

How about you do something about all of the fucking scams then

Unfortunately it simply does not matter. They are absolutely above the law, we can’t even force a code of ethics onto them. They are kings who control what insanity the sitting president can get away with while taking open bribes/quid pro quo

He continues to do all he can to help Putin and sell out veterans and the elderly by attacking veteran benefit funding, cancer research, Medicare, social security…. He’s an extremely loud and proud anti-union anti-worker rights advocate, sexual predator, all-around man child who is determined to topple democracies and lift up authoritarian groups like the AFD (Neo Nazi party is Germany who supports Putin). During the election he joked about Kamala getting assassinated multiple times, I could go on and on and on.

But yeah, so weird nobody fucking likes the elitist bastard… how strange.

Meanwhile everyone continues to get cancer anyways. At least the corpos get their quarterly record profits
