No problem. Apart from WRC, I haven't touched an EA game in a long time, mainly because I just assume they're shit and don't even try. I really don't have any reason to think of them when browsing games.

They have been making shitty sports games on monopolized licences for too long, and sports fans just keep buying the same shit over and over.

Whenever i notice that an interesting game is published by EA i immediately lose all interest in it

Or rather that would happen if i had ever seen an interesting looking EA game

At least they helped me out and made the decision to not support them in the case with Battlefield 6 and the new WRC by banning Linux 🤷

Oh, didn't know they did that with the new WRC. Which doesn't matter anyway because AC Rally 🤣

Yeah, they killed support with introducing kernel level anti-cheat a couple of months after it was released. Really scummy move. I'm also really excited by the rally development in beam.ng :D

Yeah, that looks really fun. Doing proper full rally. I can't wait to rock up to the next stage having to explain to the crew that I crashed on the way 🤣
