Where is the bottom? How the fuck did EA get worse? This some dark magic, devide by zero, end of days level shift.

The bottom comes when the sports game addicts run out of money and stop buying the same $70-$80 games every year before unloading hundreds into paid DLC that is non-transferable between the yearly versions (which have almost zero practical changes aside from roster updates and in-game ads/branding).

But a few decades have proven they are quite a resilient cohort and tough to crack.

Is there a word for bigotry towards sports gamers? Cuz I've got it

There is no bottom. They will always find new depths to sink to.

Who? EA, the Saudis or the other pathetic little fucker?

Yeah they got some good deals on NFS franchise, but then I though "wait this guys are absolute trash, I need an external client and game might not be even that good".

So Fuck EA, I will sail the high seas if I ever wanna play one of their games.
