EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during ‘Replay’ moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in reviews. It wasn’t long before the backlash led to EA disabling the ads.
I cannot buy fewer EA games. The last EA game I bought ran on the Super Nintendo.

Babbage as in the steam-driven mechanical game engine, version 2?
I remember the controllers being kinda clunky.

Oh, it won’t be exclusive EA-exclusive enshittification, I’m sure.
I haven’t bought any EA games in many years as well. I don’t have any EA games in my Steam library, though I probably have some Xbox 360 games around. The only one I know for sure was Rogue Squadron II on Gamecube
Wait, Rogue Leader was Lucasarts and Factor 5. EA didn’t have anything to do with it, did they?
Maybe not, I don’t know if EA was handling Star Wars yet.
I used to buy FIFA and NHL games, once every few years. But they’ve gotten so shitty I just gave up on them. I haven’t played a soccer game in years now. PES used to be a good alternative but I’ve heard it’s not great anymore either.
