battlefield-6

[white sand]

$36 billion is equity which is money invested by the firms that they expect to get a return on, but not debt that EA must repay like a loan

20 billion is the actual debt portion of the deal

[broken cedar]

Yeah I'm in the spot of just wishing it wasn't necessary to deal with cheaters. And I do avoid games with kernel anti-cheat for the most part, no reason to invite more risk by installing multiple different kernel anti-cheats

[molten gyro]

EA's fiscal years do not begin in January

[low spade]

I gotcha. I hope you're able to enjoy bf6. Sadly, the arms race of cheating is heading towards Kernal level cheats for MP games.

[broken cedar]

Yeah, for sure. BF6 is definitely worth the risk for me, and I'll just have to make sure my stuff is backed up just in case. Honestly there's not much risk if you do back everything up properly, but that takes effort and I'm a data hoarder

[tight prism]

It might make it suck less of the kernel level stuff stopped 100% of cheating but it doesn't and the end user should be bearing the risk.

[plain sierra]

They still 20b in debt

[abstract walrus]

The high level elements almost don't matter since there's clearly a willingness to take on whatever the risks are. They announced their intent after all. M&A is always always successful or rough based on so many factors that we'll never see and don't get reported out anywhere- internal communication and transparency, cultural integration, clear and timed objectives set for each team, and so forth. We won't see any of that from the outside.

[compact skiff]

Welp EA just got bought out by Saudi Arabia and idk if that’s a good thing or not

[plain sierra]

Lol why are mods deleting that come on😂

[broken cedar]

Embark studios out here letting us know the real info o7

[plain sierra]

Bad

[tight prism]

This isn't true. I would say the primary risk is data theft and not system instability.

[mint hatch]

The Saudis want those billions from releasing the same FIFA every year, its unlikely to impact DICE

Besides BF6 is made already, so that's good

[abstract walrus]

this tbh... the recurring revenue from EA Sports is the biggest money

[compact skiff]

Well the good thing about yesterday is that DICE dissed cod yesterday

[mint hatch]

We all saw the trailer, based

[compact skiff]

That was a huge middle finger to cod tbh lol

[low spade]

mega-based. Had my wife and I cheering hahahaha

[broken cedar]

True, I guess I was speaking more about the direct impacts on my system. Data theft is terrible but that can happen even without kernel anti-cheat

[compact skiff]

Bf6 plzzzz adddddd the m24 bolt action……my gun neeeds the spotlight

[steel sundial]

EA already had lost the FIFA franchise

[mint hatch]

We got the mini fix as a sniper, which is honestly pretty fucking cool

[fallen quiver]

Couldn't they have just purchased EA sports instead

[compact skiff]

Ngl nascar needs more attention lol tbh

[low spade]

can't wait to turn left for 20 minutes

[mint hatch]

The movie cars was more than NASCAR ever deserved tbh

[compact skiff]

That’s a traditional sport in America lol

[broken cedar]

NASCAR Thunder 2004 my beloved

[mint hatch]

No, no running from the police is the actual sport, turning left is the gentrified version of the original

[low spade]

Just say they need to make another need for speed instead and I'd agree with u

[compact skiff]

Ok hear me out…isn’t Star Wars battlefront 2(2017) technically a Star Wars version of battlefield?

[mint hatch]

GTA6 never

[fair plinth]

Has Dice made any announcements about the road map for BF6 post EA acquisition?

[compact skiff]

I know the m60 is gonna be op in game

[low spade]

It is except sometimes someone just gets to be the god of the battlefield with one hit insta kills and a billion health and a billion speed

[low spade]

The acquisition was finalized today. Most of their staff are finding out about it rn, so I doubt it

[tight prism]

This community needs to grow a spine. You are all so willing to give up your privacy, security for a video game when we all enjoyed these games before they required this crap. If none of you can sit one game out to send a message then we're beyond saving.

[low spade]

womp womp

[mint hatch]

The most overpowered gun on launch will be the Vector. It always is in every shooter. 100% locking it in now

[compact skiff]

God….I remember when EA made those Harry Potter games

[tight prism]

Soon to all be Saudi apologists.

cooked unless you give up your smartphone really.. .always on always listening

[low spade]

Yep, so I'm gonna play a video game I enjoy anyway

[fair plinth]

Oooh gotcha, wasn't sure what the timeline was. I have a handful of shares in a smaller account. I saw the stock price flattened out today so I figured they were finalizing something.

Thanks!

[steel sundial]

i gave up smartphones in 2010

[tight prism]

This guy's argument is that he's dumb so we should all fall in line.

[compact skiff]

I guess not

[mint hatch]

October 3rd is when you'll have permission to cu- preload the game

[compact skiff]

I really need to switch to a Samsung bruh

[candid folio]

uuurg

[low spade]

You can leave whenever man. I'm here to discuss and enjoy bf6.

[abstract walrus]

it is, after all, the bf6 channel

[mint hatch]

Soon. There will be indescribable violence

[compact skiff]

They better addd the bipod knife for reaching level 100

[deep glade]

Promoted

[steel sundial]

underblade grenade launcher for knife

[mint hatch]

New battlefield new me, the C100 needs to be a throwing knife skin and when they impact a person the bipod legs have physics and dangle off the enemy

[compact skiff]

Ok hear me out…..if they ever make BC3(doubt it), hire neebs and them to be in charge of it

[low spade]

Call of duty moment

[fair plinth]

The Colonel demands it!

[mint fern]

I got a weird feeling a lot of people are gonna be flocking the server and being pissed once this ea thing gets more mainstream.

[mint hatch]

That's been happening all day already

[compact skiff]

Your pfp reminding me of something else lol

[low spade]

battlefield is smal potatoes under EA. They're not even purchasing because of dice, it's because of FIFA and the sport related games

[tight prism]

I know. A game I'll miss because you guys can't stop throwing money at them long enough to kill this BS. It will only get worse going forward.

[compact skiff]

And oh shit we in durvish’s server lol

[mint fern]

True

[steel sundial]

EA lost its FIFA license in 2022

[mint fern]

Oh yeah the jerma coded guy

[steel sundial]

its now called FC sports

[rough slate]

Well I’ll be enjoying BF6 for as long as I can until either nothing much changes and I keep playing or they change everything for the worse and I move on

[white moss]

To be fair FIFA did get greedy. They wanted a billion just for the name to be put on the games

[compact skiff]

Commander needs a comeback

[frozen thorn]

As long as it is fun👍

[low spade]

If battlefield 6 sold 0 copies. DICE gets fired, and life goes on lol. Your boycott will not change the outcome of the purchase. It won't do anything beyond punish DICE.
Ea owns FC sports

[white moss]

It's something to do while sitting on the john

[mint hatch]

Were battlefield players, where's your bucket

[abstract walrus]

you don't have a bucket?

[rough slate]

Any money given now will have been used up long before they go private. Paying for paychecks, servers, etc

[mint fern]

"you're goin to the bathroom.. you're not playing battlefield. You're shitting in a bucket and you're playing battlefield!"

[mint hatch]

Girlfriend = minus kills

Family = minus kills

bucket = plus kills

Big shout out to all the new fathers about to abandon their newborns for KDR, you the real ones

[deep glade]

That is also in BF6 btw

[shell siren]

How much you guys wanna bet this buyout barely changes anything in the short term

[tight prism]

That's the point and again you're downplaying the power we have. There are obviously shills and fanboys in here but money talks. The game could be a huge success and EA could still kill dice because they're small fries. Zero risk with the potential to make a rewarding change.

[frozen thorn]

A real player doesnt give up on his kid for kdr, they ditch em to play the objective

[mint hatch]

Look if my kid won't PTFO then that's not my kid, right?

[loud mortar]

Slipknots Iowa album was right

[low spade]

Yeah, I'm a shill and a fanboy. Sorry gamer, I'm gonna be purchasing two copies this week

I'm gonna actually purchase a 3rd so it's like you bought a copy 😄

[broken cedar]

Gimme that one then I can buy one for my little brother lol

[brisk kindle]

My wife is going home to visit family on launch weekend boys. Sounds like 48 hours straight is back on the menu.

[broken cedar]

Bro's a broke college kid

[spiral temple]

who up battlin in they field

[cold elm]

hey fellas, did the bf6 beta last longer on ps5? or all betas were at the same time (last one on aug 14-17)?

[mint hatch]

Battle Field CORN COMBAT

[low spade]

Im trying but the morality police are here telling me I can't (they shop at Walmart and Amazon)

[broken cedar]

YES PLEASE I LIVE IN A CORNFIELD I REQUIRE CORN COMBAT

[broken cedar]

all betas were at the same time

[tired epoch]

da same

[cold elm]

thanks, someone is fooling me for some reason, saying that they played bf6 when it wasnt available

[broken cedar]

They could have been in a Labs playtest

[frosty shard]

Of course it'll impact DICE/BF studios sooner or later. Hopefully not much for the live service of BF6 for at least next 2-3 seasons, but EA will surely have even bigger pressure than ever since they'll have a debt to pay off (unless I read the article wrong)

Layoffs are always expected with buyouts like that

[tired epoch]

anything after 2026 is cooked

[mint fern]

This whole buyout situation sucks because i wanna support dice and enjoy what they make but i don't want my money goin towards the people behind this buyout. Just feels wrong in the back of my head very bad dilemma

[jovial junco]

to those of you that have pre-purchased Battlefield 6 on Steam, do you have it in your library game list yet?

[cold elm]

when labs playtest was active last time?

[cobalt ruin]

People on reddit couldn't even last a week in "protest".

[broken cedar]

IIRC it was the BR?

[tired epoch]

its been active

[steel sundial]

yes, but it just says coming soon

[low spade]

My tax dollars are going towards missiles signed by government officials to launch at people with weapons also signed by the same government officials. Nothing I do will be less evil lmfao

[broken cedar]

To be fair that's because Reddit admins began replacing mods with compliant mods

[rough slate]

At least the next years worth of post launch content has already been planned and budgeted that’s not going to change

[tired epoch]

steam games appear instantly in ur library when u preorder, try searching for it in ur library
preload on the 4th

[cobalt ruin]

Ahh never knew that

[frosty shard]

How do you know? I don't recall any roadmap being mentioned other than "we'll share our plans closer to the release"

[jovial junco]

Probably need to restart Steam, thank

[hallow geode]

So far we know that season 1 is launching right after launch

[rough slate]

Because that’s how big businesses work, they budget for an entire year not just on a whim. While we obviously haven’t gotten any roadmap yet, they’ve already planned and figured out the cost for the next years worth of servers and post launch content

[hallow geode]

Which based on the BR rumours means season 1 will likely launch october 25th or 28th

[mint hatch]

Kinda unrelated but I absolutely hate the "seasons" things games do when what they really mean is "content update"

[broken cedar]

I hate the fomo aspect, it drains my enjoyment a lot. Makes playing the game feel like a job

[civic herald]

I just looked at kotaku it doesnt seem bad

[mint hatch]

Its supposed to. FOMO is draining by design to get you to pay for tier skips or whatever else

[hallow geode]

This is exactly why I quit apex and destiny 2 and now I just play whatever I want to play. I'm done feeling like I have to log in every day

[frosty shard]

Oh that I am aware of - what I mean is you can't really be sure they won't alter their content that would take place 6+ months from now. Especially in terms of skins vs. maximizing revenue (in the context of the buyout)

[drifting torrent]

Cause it is wrong. Every fiber of my being says not to get it now.

[broken cedar]

Same for D2. Once I realized I'm only playing because I felt like I needed to I stopped.

[hallow geode]

Apex for me got sooo unhealthy. I would literally remember thinking to myself "ughhh I would rather play any other game today, but I have to complete this battlepass" and now it's been like a year since I played. Never been happier lol

[mint hatch]

Lol I love how we all had the realization at some point: "wait arent games supposed to be fun?"

Comes shortly after employment I think lmao

[broken cedar]

oh my god this is actually true...

[mint hatch]

🤣

[hallow geode]

Borderlands 4 has been very fun. Just playing a game to have fun, not caring about any daily nonesense. I can easily log off for a few days and come back whenever i feel like it

[frosty shard]

Guess you don't want to find out what % of things you wear/use everyday comes partially from (Saudi) oil 👀

[mint hatch]

I have been loving borgarlands! I finally got a new legendary sniper rifle after getting 2 legendaries that were carried over from previous BL games and it ROCKS

The Fisheye, Order sniper

[hallow geode]

I keep getting legendary assault rifles. Can't complain but I am looking forward to getting a sniper at some point

[lapis juniper]

Well Ea just got bought out.

[mint hatch]

The star helix in BL4 is the worst that gun has ever been lmao

[civic herald]

EA is like biggest game studio

If they can be bought out does that mean all them can

[hallow geode]

Ah yeah that is the one I have on right now lmao. I knew something felt off about it. This is my first borderlands game besides just doing the campaign for BL3

[broken cedar]

Well, Activision/Blizzard/King was bought out. So clearly yes

[drifting torrent]

Cool story. The entire world runs on oil. A buyout like this will affect BF6 and not in a good way. Just watch. EA was $20 billion in debt? So I wouldn't be surprised if they make drastic cuts which ultimately affects developers like Dice

[lapis juniper]

EA is only huge bc of the IPs they own. They've been barely scraping by. we finally get a game where they dont have much of a hand in and they instantly sell out. Just shows they only put effort in when they dont have to keep it up

[mint hatch]

There are a few returning legendaries I've found but all the new ones are nice. The star helix in this game especially compared to 3 is so fucking bad it makes me cri

[winter atlas]

*Game company, many studios, publisher etc.

[hallow geode]

is it the slow projectiles that makes it a mid gun cos that's definitely not a fun part about it from what I've gathered so far lol

[tired yarrow]

EA is a studio destroyer…. Let’s not forget what they did to Westwood

And EA Big….

[steel sundial]

what was EA's fist title? Pitfall on atari 2600?

[tired yarrow]

F for SSX Tricky

[mint hatch]

The hellwalker is back though and it kicks ass like always, keep your eye out

Jakobs shotgun

[viscid ridge]

Please devs add a dog taq that says

"Who whas that"

"Doenst matter"

[frosty shard]

I think you're either replying to the wrong comment or not read my previous one - I literally wrote what you just did. What I mean is that if spending $ on EA game after hearing they'll change ownership a year from now makes you feel bad, then by all means don't buy the game. But it's not like you're directly funding terrorism by buying a game (especially before the deal takes real effect), same as using everyday things made from (Saudi) oil. Just the way world works.

[tired yarrow]

That will be 9.99 please

[hallow geode]

Noted 🗒️ 👍

[mellow plinth]

Battfield 6 has been the only game I’ve been excited for for a while and now it probably gonna have all of the Fortnite skins and other horrible decisions, haven’t played an ea game in ages too, especially since ea is ea

[hallow geode]

Translation : I am excited for this game but not really

[civic herald]

I really think saudi arabia bought ea because of sports games cus EA owns like 90% of sports games

[mellow plinth]

Yeah

I just really wanted battlefield 6 to be good

[tired yarrow]

Hahaha they deleted my comment

[civic herald]

And saudi arabia has been buying up all the sports recently

[tired yarrow]

Coz they know its true

[tired epoch]

praying saudis arent just gonna own all of AAA gaming

[winter atlas]

EA and others like them buys many studios that are slowly going down hill, like Westwood sadly was. Then they try to save them and if not, move on.
They kill studios, sure. Do they kill too many of the ones they buy, sure as well. But investing in a lot and have some fail is part of most businesses when they get that big.

[vale wadi]

Hopefully dice gets bought by Microsoft or Sony then haha

[broken cedar]

Oh god no

[vale wadi]

Better than what it is now

[civic herald]

Sony is good they made hd2 and elden rings

[frosty shard]

Imagine DICE going independent

[vale wadi]

Yeah I don’t think Microsoft would cause of activision

[tired yarrow]

I’m not sure if that was a defence or just pointing out what they do. Hoping the latter as EA has an indefensible track record

[broken cedar]

Microsoft has been shutting down studios left and right and are just terrible at being a publisher

[winter atlas]

I'm not defending anything, just explaining.
If Westwood hadn't been bought by EA someone else would have done it and most likely failed as well though - I loved westwood, so pains me to say.

[still oxide]

Guys is it bad that ea got sold, like does it impact bf6 or not. Im pretty scared lol😂

[broken cedar]

Short answer, no one knows.

[winter atlas]

Doesn't affect it. Besides, it will take a while before the sale gets approved.

[civic herald]

Idk what games microsoft owns

[lapis juniper]

it pretty much will

[steel sundial]

MS own blizzard activision

[rose inlet]

cod

[olive basalt]

me neither, they because they don't make anything!!

[still oxide]

Oo okay thanks

[rose inlet]

minecraft

[lapis juniper]

not now but later down the line it will change. it always does with new leadership.

[civic herald]

Oh those are pretty big

[hallow geode]

If the live action trailer was their last planned trailer before launch then they better whip up one more to overshadow the news

[broken cedar]

Activision/Blizzard/King, Bethesda, 343 Studios, etc.

[lapis juniper]

especially that its a private equity and theyll load it with more micro transaction

[winter atlas]

ownership, not nessesarily leadership

[lapis juniper]

there's literally no difference. its still their boss' boss

[rough slate]

In the short term nothing will change, in the long term who knows, they could change everything and add aggressive MTXs, or they could leave it alone and let them run the game as is

[civic herald]

They can choose whos in leadership and install their own ppl

[lapis juniper]

who funds the developer? the publisher.

[rose inlet]

And they arent short on any money

[lapis juniper]

how many times do you see developers change design philosophy with a different publisher

you sure? EA has been scraping by off of the sports catalogue everything else has been failing

[mint fern]

Tbh my 2 biggest worries are 1: will this affect developers and staff at ea that actually put many hours into their work, and 2: am i the villain if i don't cancel my bf6 pre order. I just don't wanna look like I'm supporting one side i just wanna game

[winter atlas]

Plenty of difference as we were talking about if it will affect BF6 and we only know the ownership changes.

[lyric comet]

Please respect no political attack 🧡

[lapis juniper]

thats why i said itll happen down the line.

[lapis juniper]

?? i dont see anyone doing that

[civic herald]

The ppl who play ea sports games are mostly guys I see

[lucid mist]

company is going to be 20 billion dollars in debt. They're gonna layoff half their devs and cut suppot for games

[rough slate]

No you aren't the villain, right now the money you spend for the game is still going to the same place it was going to go before the sale (paychecks, servers, running costs, etc.). The takeover is via shares, not the money sitting in EA's bank account.

[olive basalt]

That's as may be, but I say the effects of this purchase are far enough away that we won't have to worry about it for the launch or early year(s) of this game. I'm not gonna lose sleep over it, and just fully enjoy the game while I can, kind of like a "party at the end of the world" thing. Would rather have a blast playing without worry, than regret not enjoying it before it got shitty.

[lyric comet]

I see a lot of people but thank to mods 🧡

[winter atlas]

BF6 seems to be an EA game that is doing many things right atm. Why would any new owner (once it's approved in some months), change the part of the company that is working? 😄

[mint fern]

Ok good i have no horse in this race i just want my bf6 and to game at the end of the day

[lucid mist]

because private equity ruins literally everything

[broken cedar]

Just don't look at Destiny 2 and Bungie

[sharp merlin]

Hmmm it’s kinda sad they made NYC a small map. It would’ve had great potential for a great scale map.

[lapis juniper]

Im just saying if EA was doing well they wouldnt be selling out. Saying they are doing well enough to not worry about money is disingenuous

[rough slate]

Exactly, no reason to just give up now when theres something you want to play. Most will still buy it and play it until they either do nothing major and we keep playing, or they force them to add aggressive MTXs and then we all bail and look for something else.

[lucid mist]

they are selling out because they're being offered 20% over their market cap. The shareholders want that money.

[mint fern]

I dunno ive just heard this whole thing could cause layoffs and i dont want hard working people to suffer because of this buyout

[lapis juniper]

from what i saw they are about 200million in the hole atm ofc they want to get out

[civic herald]

Cus its small irl

[broken cedar]

Manhattan isn't that big tbh, it's just very densely populated

[keen agate]

is there a way to get bf6 preload early and play the game. on october 3rd or we have to wait until october 10th.

[lyric comet]

People who on 0 shares should have no say 🧡🧡

[sharp merlin]

Ohhhhh ok

[winter atlas]

Everything is possible. I just don't see it being likely to happen right away. No reason to do anything about it before it's actually happening anyway.

[broken cedar]

All waiting until the 10th

[lapis juniper]

no? it opens OCt 10

[civic herald]

I hope they dont add p2w guns

[lapis juniper]

or i mean theres battlefield labs

[mint fern]

True true

[rose inlet]

It is what it is

[sharp merlin]

I doubt it

Get this ragebaiter out of here

[lapis juniper]

Annual Release schedule...smh

[lyric comet]

I hope you have nice day bro 🧡

[lapis juniper]

you asked for no political hate yet you start being an ass lol

gotta pick one bud

[unreal grove]

that would ruin the game tbh

[civic herald]

But ppl would buy

[unreal grove]

yes but it'd ruin the game for people that actually have expenses and live in places that aren't their parents basements

[winter atlas]

Guess I'll wait until 2027 to be worried 😄

[boreal monolith]

People understand sales like this don’t happen overnight right? Going to have at minimum a year if not a little bit longer

[civic herald]

Is any other games owned by Saudi Arabia

To look as example

[winter atlas]

Most likely. The oil will run out at some point so they are investing heavily in a myriad of areas.

[lapis juniper]

just a reminder its not just Saudi its also Affiity which is owned by Trumps son in law

[lapis juniper]

estimates say in 200 years

[runic venture]

Ammo being free will now be a legacy feature come Battlefield 7 💀

[lyric comet]

Saudi Arabia owns %10 in ea sinces several years ago also activision stop fear monger

[lapis juniper]

please no...

[rose inlet]

No actually the oil levels show no sign of running out, they just want to diversify their economy away from oil because the world is becoming environmentally aware now

[lapis juniper]

10% vs 50% is a huge difference

[runic venture]

Want to drive vehicles? better pay the Online driving license and remember to refuel it up bucko

[lyric comet]

There is no enough info to know if 10 or 30 or 50

[civic herald]

My comment was delete 🙁

[lapis juniper]

its a buy out and all shareholders are being paid $210 for each share...its 50/50 since its Saudi and Affinity

[winter atlas]

Maybe. But if my oil was running out, I would say it wasn't, slow down production and tell everyone there's plenty of it to not scare away investments from abroad.

[lapis juniper]

they went private...

[grizzled sorrel]

Hopefully it won’t effect bf7

[lyric comet]

If share holders voted yes for this transaction why you mad

[rose inlet]

Oil sales have decreased over the years, check the stats

[runic venture]

thats some massive copium

[ivory haven]

That is GTA6

[lapis juniper]

bc shareholders never have the same view as gamers. all they want is their money. look at destiny or blizzard.

[lapis juniper]

why is your only defence "bc the shareholder"

[winter atlas]

doesn't really disprove anything

[broken cedar]

Damn guess you can't have an opinion either because you aren't a shareholder 😔

[lyric comet]

Will thats how world works, if you own company shall i lecture What do you do with your property?

[broken cedar]

The consumer has a say in the products they purchase, and are owed some level of input in said product.

[lyric comet]

Yes i agree thats why i shall share holders should decide

[rose inlet]

It proves demand for oil is declining, more people are starting to think about climate change, so they are moving away from oil

[lapis juniper]

how does that correlate to this? lol you're really giving us a reason to not like the Saudis now.

went from "please no political hate.." to "Opinion invalid, broke boy"

[lyric comet]

Unfortunately, the consumer does not have enough power in the company's general assembly. 1 share, 1 vote.

[sharp merlin]

is this game gonna have levolution?

[broken cedar]

Yep, that's why Battlefield 2042 performed so well

[broken cedar]

It has some, apparently even the BR map has it

[lapis juniper]

teasers were shown of Siege of Shanghai and Gulf of Oman. hopefully it makes a return

[sharp merlin]

If it does it’s gonna be awesome

[broken cedar]

[lyric comet]

Dont take it personally my friend im just telling you how world works 🧡

[winter atlas]

Think we just call it destruction now

[rough slate]

Consumers can still decide the fate of a company. If the company doesn't offer them a compelling enough product, or changes the product in a way that makes it unfavorable to continue using, there can be a mass exodus, meaning a loss of revenue and profit

[sharp merlin]

[lapis juniper]

no no i get what your're saying it just makes no sense. Im pointing out your rhetoric with trying to be nice then immediately just undermining any criticism with "0 share holders shouldnt say anything"

[rose inlet]

Exactly, but the fact is their oil is not running out

[civic herald]

Climate change not hoax

[lyric comet]

Yes, my friend, the owners decide the fate of their company. They can even vote to dissolve the company and distribute the assets, not just sell them.🧡

[runic venture]

ah yes the water increase in the oceans from too warm earth oh no its only been the same since recorded history

[civic herald]

All the scientists agree its real

[lapis juniper]

shareholders make the decisions and the consumer dictates whether or not its successful. use your head. They are going private. Private means they dont have shareholders bc they arent publically traded anymore. reason why they are getting $210 a share. Idk where you got the idea that they cant sell their shares.

[abstract shore]

community mods perm banned me from bf6 for standing up to russian war in ukraine btw

[rose inlet]

World will end one day anyway

[runic venture]

and scientists agreed all computers would stop functioning in 2000 and that the world would end in 2012 womp womp

[lapis juniper]

there probably a no politics rule or something

[lyric comet]

I hope you have nice day 🧡

you too

[lyric comet]

I dont want argue no sense anymore

[broken cedar]

Scientists didn't say shit about 2012 or 2000. Engineers worked their asses off in the years prior to 2000 to make sure the millenium bug didn't actually cause issues, and were successful. But barely - some banks actually did have their systems go down after it, as well as certain ATMs and things like that.

[tall zinc]

correct idea, wrong term, there are still shareholders, that's why the equity is there, just the shareholders are now well 3 organisations

[tidal current]

Paid

[lapis juniper]

alright have fun.

[lyric comet]

You too

[lapis juniper]

sorry i shouldve been more specific with that.

[runic venture]

okay, you also got "scientists" saying the earth is flat

[tidal current]

it is

[runic venture]

no its cone shaped

[tidal current]

heretic

[broken cedar]

Brother, there are nations that are genuinely being swamped by increased sea levels. But you can pretend they're not all you want.

[boreal monolith]

You must be young they’ve been saying the same script for the last 50yrs and the only thing that’s happened is ice melt while at the same time other locations are gaining ice

[runic venture]

What its tectonic plates for $50

[tidal current]

Climate change was made up by 2042 so they can sell nopat skins

[broken cedar]

They're in the middle of a plate dude, wow, congrats for discovering an entirely new mechanism for changing sea levels that has been completely undocumented until this point!

[rose inlet]

Not true. There is a divorce of ownership and control where shareholders are the owners and their only interest is dividends and profits. The managers run the company to satisfy the shareholders, they are in charge of day to day operations for games and such things. But the shareholders would make decisions for business startegy maybe

[tidal current]

plate broke

[broken cedar]

It's quite funny to me that people are somehow arguing that the climate isn't changing when that isn't even the argument being had - it's whether or not it was human-caused.

Like we moved past the whole "it's not changing at all" argument years ago when it became blatantly obvious that it was to some degree.

[civic herald]

Ok but most young ppl are smarter than adults

[tidal current]

me when I havent been humbled by life experiences

[boreal monolith]

No. They’re not. You think we didn’t say that about the generations ahead of us also lmao

[runic venture]

thanks, guess i am a scientific expert on the matter now, my word is now law

[tidal current]

the young generations rn have had their cognitive function outright stunted by technology

[broken cedar]

If that's how you think science works then I don't know how to help you.

[broken cedar]

It's actually genuinely provable that AI use reduces critical thinking abilities, I'd have to find the study on it though

[runic venture]

sorry that im able to look it up myself and not reliant on the tv man saying the cows fart too much = increased sea levels

[tidal current]

not just ai, internet in general. Your brain needs boredom to function, if it is constantly stimulated then your memory and reasoning skills suffer

[broken cedar]

I also can look it up myself and am somewhat scientifically literate so I can read papers to an extent? But pop off chief, I haven't watched TV in years.

[broken cedar]

Huh, interesting. I hadn't heard that before but it'd make sense - is that something that has been studied?

I know that stress can reduce function in a multitude of ways, and it's hard to get stress relief if you're like doomscrolling twitter or whatever

[ivory flicker]

Ain’t no way EA got sold

[deep glade]

It ain’t

[runic venture]

better get that wallet ready to pay for ammo in future battlefields

[tidal current]

Yep, but im not gonna pretend to be an expert on it.

[ivory flicker]

It did, for 55 billion to some Saudi Arabian investment firm

[deep glade]

It’s not sold tho

It will be acquired in April 2026

[broken cedar]

I'll have to look into it because it sounds really interesting - but I'm not expert either, just a bored software dev

[twin lantern]

I’m just glad to now have everything unlocked for bonus content for bf6

Got beta stuff, twitch stuff, and bf2042 stuff

[sinful pewter]

Yeah same

[cerulean pike]

Because the goalposts just move every time someone gets backed into a corner about it

[civic herald]

Ai isnt mean were dumber it means were smarter bc we can answer everything

[cerulean pike]

“Erm well there’s still snow at my house soo”

[civic herald]

Its like calculator

[sinful pewter]

Who is disagreeing that the climate is obviously changing

[civic herald]

Ppl in the chat

[deep glade]

Do you have PlayStation beta content

[boreal monolith]

Also false

[twin lantern]

Yep played some on there too

[prime sail]

I'm the best at this game.

[dry depot]

OMG!

Just saw the bf6 trailer!! EPIC!

[lone bear]

Thing is, people dont use calculators as a replacement for human interaction

[knotty obsidian]

we had to do one thing! one Thing! .... baaamzzzz

[dry depot]

The way they made fun of COD!!! 👌🏽

[broken cedar]

You were using AI earlier and it was factually wrong about the acquisition, yet you didn't catch it.

[dry depot]

Seriously made my heart happy!!!

[calm gust]

"who was that, doesn't matter"

[broken cedar]

peak cinema right there

[dry depot]

Hahahaha best line ever!

And it kinda reassured me, sorta, that DICE isn’t about to make this into another COD

like they are listening to the community and understand that we don’t want that

[steel sundial]

they killed conquest 128

[knotty obsidian]

BUT!!! Dont preorder xD

[deep glade]

Ooof, for bad news for you

[dry depot]

What I miss?

[runic venture]

*** for awhile***

[dry depot]

Why’s that?

[deep glade]

It’s only gonna be grounded “for a while” and EA is gonna be bought by a private firm, that is 20 billion dollars in debt

So yes, anything to monetise

[knotty obsidian]

still got my trust in EA and DICE not back until the released game is what they told us

[calm gust]

In 2027, so let's all just worry now for no reason. If you buy the game and get until 2027 use out of it that's fine to me. I don't care if the game dies after I put 100s of hours into it, I got my money's worth.

[deep glade]

It’s in April 2026

[calm gust]

That's plenty of time for me to get my money's worth

[deep glade]

Less than a year away

[dry depot]

Wait so how are they being bought by a firm already in debt?

[deep glade]

Well the purchase will entail debt

20 billion

[dry depot]

Got yea

[deep glade]

And 35 billion cash

[dry depot]

Preordering only gives your version skins right. Nothing like I actually need

[calm gust]

I can justify even paying 70$ for borderlands for 1 playthrough. I am not worried about spending 70$ on a game I will at least enjoy until then

[boreal monolith]

The transaction was approved by EA’s Board of Directors, is expected to close in Q1 FY27 and is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of required regulatory approvals and approval by EA stockholders. Following the close of the transaction, EA’s common stock will no longer be listed on any public market.

[deep glade]

You get XP bonuses and a lot of other customisation

[deep glade]

That is April 2026

[calm gust]

Q1 FY27 is October 1st

Q1 FY27 refers to the first quarter of the fiscal year 2027, which starts on October 1, 2026

[quartz karma]

Dont they have enough money from oil

[calm gust]

So 1 year of solid play to me regardless of what happens to EA

[deep glade]

Oops I am thinking of the Indian one

[boreal monolith]

Guy really thought they were gonna hammer out a 55B$ deal in 6mo lol

[still wing]

Did Saudi buy EA?

[quartz karma]

Apparently

[violet marsh]

Yes

[still wing]

Helllll yeahhhhh

[runic venture]

since when did having a lot money already, stopped anyone from acquiring even more money?

[quartz karma]

I just hope they dont ruin battlefield again

[violet marsh]

It's bye bye to BF6 and all future titles

[still wing]

Will EA games be less p2w now

[calm gust]

As I said, I can get a good solid year of BF6 regardless of what happens to EA and future titles. If BF6 is the last one it will be a sad time, but I'm not going to just vent on reddit about it

[violet marsh]

Last good Battlefield

[shut tree]

What does the Saudi purchase mean for BF6

[deep glade]

More P2W

Gotta make up for the debt of the company

[runic venture]

im sure reducing the micro transactions will help them pay off that 20 billion debt bill 👍

[deep glade]

You’re now forced to pay 3.99 per match you wanna play in multiplayer

[still wing]

Don’t matter, bought it for my country 😁

[quartz karma]

I mean microtransations dont bother me that much until its p2w

Unless its clown skins

[violet marsh]

You asked the question, so it DID matter to you

[runic venture]

the return of battlepacks in the shop

[deep glade]

You’re not getting any of the profit lil bro

[still wing]

I just realized it that it DOES NOT MATTER Cz even if it was p2w I won’t have money to buy shit

[boreal monolith]

A year at least. Can't imagine a deal this big wont get held up with BS at least a little

[tidal current]

this mindset is why we have clown skins and live service slop

[quartz karma]

💀

[still wing]

Too broke to care ❤️‍🩹

[deep glade]

Are you not Saudi

[cerulean pike]

You’ll find the money to buy one or two bundles, calling it now

[still wing]

No I already bought bo7 and bf6 this month I’m out

[calm gust]

True, I enjoyed all of the things so far of BF6, so I know I'll get my money's worth. What happens after BF6 is another thing.

[cerulean pike]

They always do

“I’m not buying anything, until it’s something I like!”

[hard ravine]

yay my new deskwide mousepad came in. its like changing an old pair of holy underwear

[calm gust]

I think you meant "holey"

[violet marsh]

We needed that reference, thanks bro

[still wing]

The bf6 campaign is gonna support multiplayer right?

[runic venture]

no

[violet marsh]

No, SP only

[still wing]

Oh ok

[fossil plover]

there is gonna be a coop mode, but not a story coop

[hard ravine]

depends who's they are lol

[reef swallow]

battleroyale is releasing on 10th too?

[violet marsh]

No, later

[hard ravine]

I've heard the 18th or 28th but I think that was BS

[reef swallow]

its very possible they drop it all together

[violet marsh]

Too early imo, I would rather they work on the numerous bugs and balancing they'll have to fix

[wicked tusk]

no date given i thought, just "later"

[reef swallow]

they're trying hard to shiiit on cod

[wicked tusk]

i'm probably out of the loop

[still wing]

What will bf6 have other than battle royal

[violet marsh]

Lol no chance, they've worked a lot on it

[wicked tusk]

it is me that is out of touch...

[still wing]

Will there be a jets only gamemode

Where everybody has a fighter jet and shit

[wicked tusk]

no doubt they will rotate featured game modes and air superiority will be one of them

[still wing]

Sounds cool

[green pawn]

heard EA got sold to saudi, what does this mean to battlefield ? is there any significant effect ?

[hard ravine]

Yeah, I mean it don't matter to my anyway. I was pooped out from BR years ago lol

[wicked tusk]

they should be upping the customization by miles

portal right off the rip too? should be wild

[hard ravine]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kmkI6T_135s accurate

[tidal current]

i dont think air superiority exists.

at least not at launch

[still wing]

Idk but I think they will remove gambling from FC

[wicked tusk]

maybe not at first, but i bet it will get enough demand that it makes it in rotation eventually

[tidal current]

it didnt make it into V or 2042 afaik.

instead we need another 8v8 infantry mode, but this time the objective is mildly different

[wicked tusk]

i thought 2042 had it? but maybe only thru portal

idk anything i am just a baby

[hallow geode]

Holy

[potent hull]

whats the EA got bought out by SA question count up to today?

[wicked tusk]

lolol

[calm gust]

Who knows, the doomsday preppers are out in full force

[hallow geode]

they're making a new simspons movie. Holy

[tidal current]

It will be bad

[hallow geode]

Pls don't be as cringe as the new seasons 🙏

[green pawn]

XDD, can't wait

[still wing]

First week ever playing any battle field game and bf2042 seems fire

[hallow geode]

Better not be .We waited 84 years

[calm gust]

It is one of the worst in series but it has fun moments

[wicked tusk]

get in there and check out hardcore servers, jtf2 ftw

[still wing]

All game modes take ages to matchmake

[wicked tusk]

just make sure you got some gun unlocks and a lil class progression

[still wing]

Besides team death match

[wicked tusk]

don't go in there raw, will be a bad time

[still wing]

I have a clip from bf2042 that I recorded like an hour ago but I don’t have image perms to send it

[wicked tusk]

but i throoughly enjoy HC in the last few weeks, love that the servers are still full at the end of 2042 life cycle

few do, just upload it and throw the link up anyway rip embed

[still wing]

Idk how to send vids as links

[wicked tusk]

weird, i thought youtube links were allowed

can't even share the battlefield trailer to the discord 😭 😭 😭

i hate the way things are in official social media space

i know it's not entirely their fault, but gosh dang

[civic herald]

I think most ppl seen it

[boreal monolith]

I've only been home for an hour and have seen it at least 13 times

[white moss]

I wonder if this discord goes back to the community to control

[wicked tusk]

i know it was just a proof of concept to see if it would at least push the url thru

[civic herald]

All moderators is now pick by saudi arabia

[wicked tusk]

[clever imp]

Too much text bro I ain't reading all that 🥀

[wicked tusk]

I'm going to start a clan and call it SBM

Money will always come from blood, sweat, tears. No matter what, that dollar has a history that you don’t know

[halcyon hedge]

I like the classics. PTFO

[wicked tusk]

oh wow, ok

[twin lantern]

I love the mods thank you for getting rid of that crap

[white moss]

Probably cause it was a long wall of text

[still wing]

No I have it saved on my phone

Not YouTube

[wicked tusk]

it doesn't matter, too much censorship here

[violet marsh]

For stating their opinion?

[wicked tusk]

[twin lantern]

[white moss]

He likes subway sandwiches

[frozen thorn]

Battle Royal 2.0, craziest thing ive ever seen

[wicked tusk]

this is absurd on its face and to its core

[white moss]

Bf6 will have halo forge map maker. What I'm most excited for

[still wing]

I have a feeling some people will create absurd stuff that EA would just straight up delete the map maker idea

[white moss]

Who's ready for getting over it portal maps?

[clever imp]

Handkerchief you mind telling me what you're doing in Manhattan Bridge

[wicked tusk]

ISO community ran discords with more than 12 active users so that i can LFG and talk about dubai chocolate labubu without being executed

[frozen thorn]

I would never put jets on Manhattan Bridge and Empire State maps

[white moss]

In that case might as well bring back custom emblems

[wicked tusk]

yes

[violet marsh]

They did the platoons so dirty

[spare socket]

good lord my 7 day mute is over

[violet marsh]

You can't even breathe in this server

[boreal monolith]

I bet you get another one before we make it to launch

[wicked tusk]

ban lifted tonight at 9 🙏

[frozen thorn]

Did you say you were going to eat some pork chops for dinner

[white moss]

Sounds like you are not getting bf6 then.

[clever imp]

The danny phantom edition cost my soul

[spare socket]

I have eaten pork once in my life.

[white moss]

Bacon so good.

[clever imp]

Yeah

[spare socket]

I've only had turkey bacon and ngl that stuff is kinda mediocre imo

[steel sundial]

no bbq ribs

[wicked tusk]

hey btw did you have a 3 day before this one?
what is the ban progression like? because i had a 3 day earlier this week i feel like next time i'm at 1 week

[frozen thorn]

I mention white ph0sph0rus in a sentence and they slammed me with a 72 hours time out

[white moss]

It's either real bacon or none at all. No substitutes

[spare socket]

ic. Guess I'll stick to none at all

[clever imp]

Vegan bacon

[frozen thorn]

Pretty sure a 1 month follows a 7 day

[wicked tusk]

my first ban from the game was 1 week, after only one warning where no action was taken
so i feel like my next offense is a full ban from the game

which is just unhinged, unmedicated activities

[violet marsh]

Just buy another copy atp, all the games go for 2$

[white moss]

I'd love to talk about this with all of you but that's gonna get you in trouble too.

[wicked tusk]

like that is actually going to hit me in the wallet, it's insane

[frozen thorn]

I learned my lesson, I will never ask EA to stop mistreating consumers and to stop their predatory practices

[wicked tusk]

i actually looked for a code for my alt acct and couldn't find one for cheap

[spare socket]

the best thing to do is to say as little as possible in the most uniform way imaginable to avoid anything that could even slightly trigger auto moderation

[clever imp]

What did you expect bro it's EA 😭

[wicked tusk]

where are the $2-3 keys at?

[white moss]

I was only hit by auto.

[spare socket]

anyways back to studying for my 6 hour exam

[steel sundial]

according to the press this morning EA staff are addicted to reddit

[wicked tusk]

🤖

[white moss]

I only ever see one chatting here

[wicked tusk]

if i get a cheap code for my alt acct i might be able to hit rank 40 on the pass

[white moss]

Oh look the new hire for an upcoming video game from EA

[wicked tusk]

which is good enough for me

[violet marsh]

Aight bro pack it up

[spare socket]

it's better than being addicted to twitter like randy pitchford

[wicked tusk]

i can't play bf6 on my alt acct if i don't have the free pass unlocks, it just won't work boys

[clever imp]

Zamnnnn we cooked 😭

[red kiln]

Why cant devs be adicted to github and make everything open source

[violet marsh]

Real dudes will find a way 🔥

[tired yarrow]

Because if everything was opensource… we’d all be starving

[wicked tusk]

also it looks like everyone is expecting to NOT be able to use steam family share on bf6 even though they have finally finally finally scrapped the proprietary launcher

[red kiln]

Just sell fornite skins bro

[wicked tusk]

which just...stinks honestly.

[clever imp]

Watch the community make cod maps and get EA sued 🥀

[tired yarrow]

Listen, there is only one skin you need on Fortnite and that’s the Emma Stone IceQueen…

[wicked tusk]

ban ppl for minor infrations so they have to buy new copy of game, it's a genuis tactic really if you don't push your playerbase away

[red kiln]

Why would ea get sued

[clever imp]

Only external asset I want is Maxwell

[violet marsh]

Didn't they already make the cod container map replica?

[white moss]

Could still allow free to use assets to be imported in

[red kiln]

Lmao

[wicked tusk]

i've said my piece

[white moss]

Also if I make a map I'm gonna make a getting over it map.

[clever imp]

Yeah free assets would work but come on EA won't let us have an inch of control after the custom emblems 🥀

[white moss]

Oh come on I fell!

That's not censored? It's a miracle!

Honestly bro how many sports involve kicking balls

[wicked tusk]

well they said it in the trailer so that one gets a pass ig

[spare socket]

Halo forge is by all accounts a legal work around to getting sued. You literally can't sue fan made public content that's free to access and not made for a profit standpoint.

[red kiln]

?

[wicked tusk]

but you better be careful

[spare socket]

If you tried to do this you literally would get sued in response

[tired yarrow]

Work more, for less, and be happy 👌

[wicked tusk]

you better have a airtight case bud

[spare socket]

It's called suing for malicious prosecution/abuse of process

[clever imp]

I'm afraid we ain't making it outta the McDonald's bro 🥀

At least multiplayer is free

[zenith wind]

I'm being dead serious halo infinite's forge is the best custom map and mode editor in all of shooters rn that adds content to official servers

that game would still be breaking the internet imo.

[wicked tusk]

it's a shame they still don't utilize it enough
every release gets packed with so many more features and potential and they put the same shitty shit in the official rotation, 8 playlists of the same 12 vanilla maps

[clever imp]

Yo reckuh we gotta stop the Italian brainrot reckuh tell Hannah reckuh

[slender epoch]

I usually go for the dududu dundun

[zenith wind]

Yeah, hard fumble

[spare socket]

actually real

[boreal monolith]

no slayer

[lucid mist]

343 really thought people just wouldn’t notice them adding zero content on “release”

[wicked tusk]

there are actually some fun community playlists in the rotation right now in infinite but it took them years to finally start getting the stuff out there

[red kiln]

Doom is the only good fps rn change my mind

[spare socket]

and proceed to not add anything meaningful for like 8 months

[white moss]

Ya halo should have been delayed even longer until everything was ready to launch day one

[tired yarrow]

I think where the miss the trick a bit is community made maps and specifically bringing the good ones into actual rotation

[slender epoch]

They just wanted us to buy the $30 skins instead

[tired yarrow]

The Easter eggs would be fire

[spare socket]

I'm being dead serious if it did this. The game would be popular to this day. halo infinite forge is literally an infinite content goldmine

[old coyote]

i'll do the same from now xD

[spare socket]

It lets you use campaign ai, the best map editing tools, the best pathing tools, etc

[lucid mist]

What’s that? You want content? Here’s some impossible missions, 40 dollar color pallets, and no new modes that were promised dozens of times

[wicked tusk]

their community outreach ppl have done a bad job for 20 years +, they just never learn

[white moss]

I wonder if that's why battlefield is doing it too

[zenith wind]

The whole armor thing they did was very stupid too. Having like, nothing unlocked by default and needing to grind through limited options, only to not even be able to mix and match pieces was so lame

[red kiln]

Hardest fumble in game history

[white moss]

Just we gonna need post texture packs for it.

[red kiln]

I only played the campain then quit

[slender epoch]

They make it so hard to add the fuel rod cannon

[spare socket]

I wanna play the game but literally nobody touches it bro ☠️

[wicked tusk]

i still play daily

[spare socket]

I just wanna play forge with the homies like in the old days. But shizz is dead

[wicked tusk]

but it's rough out there for a pimp

[tired yarrow]

I meant community members, not paid stooges thy pretend to represent the community 👍

[slender epoch]

or a classic battle rifle

[lucid mist]

I don’t even understand how Microsoft fumbles stuff so hard

[red kiln]

They shouldve just delayed it 6 months and game would be goty

[tired yarrow]

Because they could literally release WinTurd and people would still use it

[lucid mist]

I’m convinced Sony was out here placing saboteurs in Microsoft’s upper ranks

[wicked tusk]

i know but they could do much more to bridge that gap from the official side of things
they should be THRILLED that ppl play their game and they just don't act like it

[boreal monolith]

Halo Studios has a chief of staff opening i saw the other day. Applied for the lols

[white moss]

Then gets the job

[slender epoch]

Let’s apply and tell them how to do it

[clever imp]

Yeah game is dead unless you play at 3pm

[tired yarrow]

Purely down to control of content and I somewhat understand why…. If I made a map, it would like alike a giant … sausage

[wicked tusk]

godspeed, you have just as much experience as whoever they hire so

[keen field]

If anyone from Dice is reading this, make it so we can upgrade our pre-orders on steam to phantom edition. There currently isn't an option

[zenith wind]

Microsoft has always struggled to advertise things or tailor experiences to their users, even when their products are good

[clever imp]

Then there ain't a SOUL around bro

[lucid mist]

Cancel your current one and then buy the phantom edition

[slender epoch]

You see halo reach? Make customization like that

[keen field]

It was gifted

[zenith wind]

You can refund and buy the phantom edition

[boreal monolith]

I almost meet the requirements. Id shit a brick if i got a call lol

[spare socket]

I'm on my knees man. Next halo.
-Avoid open world it leads to worse level design and enemy placements
-Have tons of game modes at launch
-have forge at launch and make it as good or better than halo infininte
-have an actual progression system
-have multiple playlists
-have a good weapon sandbox
-have a mix of competitive and casual multiplayer maps (for some reason all the launch maps were directed at competitive excluding BTB)

[red kiln]

Refund and repay

[spare socket]

that's all I'm asking man ☠️

I'm being dead serious you could copy paste halo infinite gameplay for all I care

[wicked tusk]

what's crazy is this is looking like the industry standard now, chew threw ppl and hire and fire outside studios and independent contractors
i don't know how anyone actually makes a career out of the revolving door of the game industry

[white moss]

Does refunding gift give you steam credits?

[lucid mist]

You can probably buy the phantom bundle on launch. I don’t think it’s a preorder exclusive

[slender epoch]

Maybe a lil focus on campaign? They keep leaving us on ridiculous cliff hangers

[zenith wind]

No, it gives money back to the gifter

[red kiln]

Just deliver a infinite + content and boom instant goty

[spare socket]

the issue with infinite's campaign was the emphasis on open world pushed by executives.

[lucid mist]

Because they’ve gone through 30 different writers none of which know what the others were thinking

[civic herald]

No goes back to them

[white moss]

Thanks old man....they ruined battlefield

[wicked tusk]

didn't even hate the campaign

[spare socket]

it led to so many technical issues that made development a nightmare. The story and level design was super disjointed as a result

It's not bad but again the emphasis on something the engine could not handle is just..... why would you do that

[wicked tusk]

lol fair

[spare socket]

So so much content and features were cut from the original campaign for optimization

[white moss]

What engine should they have used instead?

[slender epoch]

The next halo gonna have no pertinence to infinite if I had a bet

[spare socket]

The story was a third of the length of what was intended ☠️

[wicked tusk]

but mint blitz made a handful of cool launch videos so, worth it

[spare socket]

Just don't do an open world game ☠️

[red kiln]

Man i miss bungie

[spare socket]

Now they're opting to use unreal engine 5 and I have minimal hope man

[lucid mist]

I miss when open world games actually tried bruh

[white moss]

You mean Reach Bungie?

[wicked tusk]

god take me back

🙏

[spare socket]

if they announce: we're using lumen and nanite in unreal engine 5. I am not excited for that game at launch bro ☠️

[lucid mist]

Do not look up what bungies been up to these day 😭

[boreal monolith]

Looks like CE is getting rebuilt to come out next year for the anniversy. Wouldn't surprise me if they just started over

[white moss]

Guess it was their...... Destiny to fail.

[red kiln]

Destiny 3?

[wicked tusk]

lolol

[lucid mist]

Say that again

[slender epoch]

Might as well tbh

[spare socket]

tbf almost none of the og studio is even working there anymore

[wicked tusk]

yeah but what if they never got into all that

what if tylenol was never invented

[white moss]

Oh lol I mad a pun within a pun

[wicked tusk]

think of the possibilities

[lucid mist]

What if a trillion dollars got deposited into my bank account right now

[abstract spear]

Miss bungie as in no more D3 or miss bungie as in studio derailment as well

[wicked tusk]

bless you, son

[white moss]

Then I call you Jeff Bozos

[zenith wind]

What Halo maps do we think could work in BF6 portal?

[wicked tusk]

homie has a trillion dollars and a bun in the oven 🫃

[spare socket]

bungie ended with halo reach.

Destiny isn't a horrible game after you get all the dlc (d2 is in a bad spot rn) but in no way is it the game that players were promised.

[red kiln]

Bungie really scamed sony tbh

[white moss]

All of them should. Issue is flat textures.

[red kiln]

It seams its gona get disolved

[timid otter]

can i run BF6 on the new xbox rog ally

[lucid mist]

You mean the DLC that they straight up remove from the game whenever they feel like it despite players spending potentially hundreds of dollars on it

[slender epoch]

Man pit guardian etc…

[white moss]

Ya the talent will be absorbed into their other studios

[spare socket]

yes that dlc

[abstract spear]

Holy shit

[red kiln]

Of course

[spare socket]

But still

[white moss]

Marathon will probably be the last Bungie game. With that studio

[slender epoch]

Add ctf as a game mode

[abstract spear]

What dlc

[lucid mist]

I’m not even exaggerating btw they straight up remove content people paid money for

No refunds, nothing

[white moss]

It will 100% come in portal. But main modes no idea

[boreal monolith]

And imagine instead of working on 3 you put everything into a new IP only to have a dev land you in copywrite hell

[slender epoch]

D3 should’ve already been put same with division

[wicked tusk]

masterful gambit, gentlemen

[abstract spear]

B-b-b-but why, so scummy lol

[white moss]

Ya I left after the first expansion from destiny 1

[zenith wind]

Halo SWAT could be a fun mode in portal, headshots only

[spare socket]

regardless the game is.... something I just wanna move past destiny. I had good times with it but the game isn't what players were initially promised and is now a total mess.

[white moss]

Destiny 1 apparently didn't have any vaulting. And why are we going off topic?

[spare socket]

I stopped playing it because of college and dental school it's just too much of an investment. Like 5 years ago I played destiny

[lucid mist]

Destiny players are abused worse then Ubisoft fans these days

[abstract spear]

Dude they cant come back from this

Not even bankruptcy can warrent such a thing

[red kiln]

Fc fans better be quiet

[abstract spear]

Well kinda

[slender epoch]

We’re never getting another splinter cell maaaaaan 😫

[thorny vortex]

should i buy battlefield on steam or ea play?

[red kiln]

Steam

[spare socket]

steam

[frozen thorn]

Steam

[thorny vortex]

okay thanks guys

[white moss]

Ok how about this payload but it's a football trying to kick it to the enemy goal

[spare socket]

anyways i gtg do practice problems ciao for a now

[tidal current]

halo reboot but its written by the people who made the show

[boreal monolith]

EA

[red kiln]

Messi>>>>>Ronaldo dont even @ me

[zenith wind]

With the resizing of assets, it'd be cool to make a Green Army Men / Toy Soldiers style of map

[white moss]

[jagged sorrel]

When pre download

[gilded solstice]

steam

[white moss]

October 3rd I think

[red kiln]

Never

[boreal monolith]

friday

[abstract spear]

Mid next week

Oh friday

[white moss]

When preload shows up time to say bye bye 2042

[ornate hornet]

Did DICE tell you that?

[gilded solstice]

what is the best way to prep for BF6?

[clever imp]

Ripbozo 2042

[thorny vortex]

not to die irl

[white moss]

Hook up KB/M

[ornate hornet]

Before playing

[abstract spear]

Kovaaks, if you were lucky enough to write your bf6 sens down

[lucid mist]

Start a PMC and destabilize Europe

[boreal monolith]

Finished the BP over the weekend and uninstalled lol. Still have BF1 downloaded if i get the itch but otherwise taking a break from FPS for the next week

[gilded solstice]

o i need a new power supply, my thing was crashing during beta

[clever imp]

Yeah that's better tbh

[white moss]

Imagine if we had the map maker back in BF1 days.

[wheat cairn]

That’s tuff gang

[abstract spear]

I said early summer id no life 2 weeks of bf3 before launch, i dont feel like it😭

[gilded solstice]

does anyone know more about the software that iis gonna be used for map maker? is it already available online?

[white moss]

Exclusive to PC is all know. To make maps not to play them

[boreal monolith]

Tablet also

[white moss]

Making a getting over it map while in the bathroom. Peak

[abstract spear]

Boy your thighs finna heeuurrrttttt

[zenith wind]

The urge to create a mode similar to 2142s titan mode

[white moss]

Dies after standing up

[red kiln]

Of course it is imagine making a map in console lol, pain.

[abstract spear]

I know my legs fall asleep after 15m

[clever imp]

I'm gonna be jigsaw with the portal maps bro

[white moss]

I mean add KB/M support. The issue something else i believe

[reef skiff]

They said map editor was ‘available to all’ unless that’s changed since last week, so that assumes including console players can use it too

[white moss]

"Wanna play a game?"

[red kiln]

Lets remake doom in portal

[white moss]

"You must make it to the top of the map, others will be shooting at you. If you fall you will throw your controller at the TV and have to then buy a new one". "Let the games begin"

[tall zinc]

https://imgur.com/a/IVjnBCm and done

[clever imp]

Remaking santa sena in bf6 with the cars and everything

[red kiln]

With the new news i dont think well see a bc3 ever

[clever imp]

They'll release yearly like cod in some years so who knows

[white moss]

Wished I could embed

[clever imp]

They'll eventually have to revive bad company

[white moss]

Should be fine for the most part with bf6. But ya future BF games I worry.

[clever imp]

Damn I got scammed bro this is shaving cream

[red kiln]

And it will be set at leats 3000km away from a mid east country

[urban crater]

? What is?

[clever imp]

Wanted hair fixer bro the cashier didn't say anything either 🥀

I look like a snowman

[white moss]

Beard hair is hair and it does fix it when shaving

Also just take it back

[clever imp]

I look like santa bro hohoho boris time for action

[urban crater]

Hair gel?

[jade acorn]

UGH I really wanted to buy Battlefield 6 = But now with the Saudi's buying EA I don't feel that I can with a good conscience support EA anymore

[frozen thorn]

This is the funniest joke Ive read today. Lol thanks you gave me a good laugh

[jade acorn]

it's true though.

im leaving this discord since its attached to them as well. Thanks for the memories and I wish everyone here all the best

[lucid mist]

Blud the ownership transfer dosent happen til 2027

welp he’s gone

[abstract spear]

He left

[sharp sigil]

What a weirdo

[frozen thorn]

Thats too bad, I cant believe EA was such a good guy before this!

[lucid mist]

EA saved my cat from a tree and paid for my gas

[frozen thorn]

Mods are here

I see you mods, deleting messages. No worries, I know you guys work for EA anyways so its what Ive come to expect

[lone bear]

Ea killed my grandma ok

[lucid mist]

There will be no EA slander here pal

[lone bear]

What

Thats a good thing

[lucid mist]

My bad slime

[lone bear]

Im thanking ea

[lucid mist]

Gracias electronic arts

[frozen thorn]

Thank you EA! (Dont ban me again)

[versed rock]

Good evening everyone

[lucid mist]

Good afternoon sonov7

[versed rock]

Just checked the phantom edition vs standard. Are we serious, skins, XP boost, weapon packages, charms, stickers. Really, does this type of digital content really matter excite everyone.?

[lucid mist]

I’m more interested in the season 1 pass inclusion and the XP booster

[versed rock]

Hi doster.

[bleak parrot]

do u guys think they fixed portal for leveling and unlocking the content ?

[frozen thorn]

@strong echo

[hallow geode]

oh you went the slow and steady route

[versed rock]

Xp boost, man 😩.. I won’t comment. But, I would love some merchandise, the commercial team at battlefield studios should try to be more innovative.

[hallow geode]

I went the speed run route

[tall zinc]

no point like most folk here apparently forcing to completion

[lucid mist]

There’s no physical edition for PC

[hallow geode]

i think for a lot of folks it was important to get it done asap before they physically couldn't bring themselves to play more. Myself included

[last hatch]

i’m still contemplating about this too tbh, I just canceled my first PO and upgrade to phantom edition, and now I’m thinking if it’s all will be worth it or not 😂

[versed rock]

I want a spawn Beacon replica, my favourite weapon or, even dog tags , memorabilia like rank badges or, cool battlefield custom personalised items with my PS ID on it.

[lucid mist]

In your dreams lmfao

[void crow]

I think price is worth for bp1. Every digital stuff is kinda free

[strong echo]

Those who can't afford it will speak I'll of it

Want me to gift it to u?

[versed rock]

My man, it’s the pesky kids lol. It seems like a lot of add ons, or content included in premium packs’ do not cater for adults.

[lucid mist]

This might shock you but kids play a lot of video games

[versed rock]

I’ll they may, but cool merchandise will speak for itself.

[lucid mist]

In fact I might even dare to say that children make up the majority of money spent in the video game industry

[tall zinc]

eh fair just seems pointless forcing a game that doesnt want to be played imo

[tired epoch]

theres probably some guy on etsy wholl do it

[versed rock]

True, however, seems theirs not much consideration for adults. Even ascetics, are aimed at minors. However, I would argue, the gaming population is likely full of more adults between 18-50 rather than, 12-17.

[strong echo]

I fucking hate my auto correct, I tried sounding fancy and all

[tired epoch]

theres already a pax armata coin that you can put your name on

[strong echo]

I meant speak ill of it

[last hatch]

i mean yeah, the cost of upgrading from base to phantom edition could buy me a warhammer 3 & peak souls 2 from my steam wishlist log right now lol

[versed rock]

Great! A coin something tangible, I want much more of this.

[tired epoch]

u can always get some of the official battlefield collectors editions of old games

i used to own a sick statue of the cover guy from bf1

[versed rock]

Exactly dude, like why don’t game developers ‘aim’ for cool merchandise aimed at adults who likely have ‘money’ to pay for cool gear.

Most us adult gamers be big kids a anyway haha.

[tired epoch]

only costs like 30 bucks

[lucid mist]

This is basically what Lego is doing now and it’s working pretty well

[daring stone]

anyway to get them twich drop skins from last month? will they ever return as drops in the future?

[lucid mist]

No afaik

[versed rock]

Fine, that’s okay, although that isn’t apparent. Why not have many ‘premium packs’ include old merchandise with a bit of new stuff targeted at older gamers.

[lucid mist]

Because no one buys physical games anymore

[tired epoch]

bcus it costs money to make

[versed rock]

I am sure, many of us would prefer a nice token, replica or badge included in our packs. Even files with cool battlefield maps, or screen savers for PC anything come on man..

[daring stone]

aside from twitch drop skins, 2042 passs skins and preorder skins, are there any others avaliable to get before launch?

[lucid mist]

There was the beta skins and the PS beta skin but otherwise none

[daring stone]

okay, thanks

[versed rock]

That’s true, but I am sure we have gamers that have been playing FPS games for over 15/20 years who likely have jobs, who can likely afford it.

[lucid mist]

You’re in the minority my guy

[tired epoch]

yea respectfully, what doster said
the devs dont have a good enough reputation to get a justifiable amount of players to purchase it

dont get me wrong, when gta 6 is open to pre order, im getting that collectors edition asap, if they make one
but with bf6 its way riskier

[versed rock]

Skins again 😫 I cry I cry 😢… gameplay, graphics, storyline. What happened to those three ‘fundamental’ factors which convinced us to buy a game or not. Gaming is truly dead gents ay.?

[tired epoch]

AAA gaming that is

[daring stone]

just something extra to get, of course them 3 factors are more important.

[strong echo]

Facts, can't argue with that

[versed rock]

Minority, so who here prefers skins, tags, Xp boost, over merchandise or collectors edition items

If you had a choice of what is included in a ‘premium or collectors edition’

[civic herald]

Do adults play video games

[daring stone]

i just want to play the game at this point but if something is avaliable im gonna go for it

[lucid mist]

It’s not that people prefer digital items it’s just that people don’t care about physical items

[versed rock]

I must be crazy, mad or to grown for gaming then.

[lucid mist]

Not really man you just have an opinion

I’d love to go back to the times where cosmetics were unlocked from playing the game but that’s not happening

[civic herald]

Pre ordering should give you better sound hearing in game

[rare dune]

Soooo. With EA being sold and now being 20 billion in debt how will it affect Bf6

[gilded solstice]

my condolensces

[lucid mist]

It won’t in the short term

[daring stone]

id prefer this too, aslo gives more reasons to grind the game to earn something unique

[gilded solstice]

for 55 Billion is it more likely that we will get better games now or just more micro transactions?

[civic herald]

For a private equity firm usually more microtransaction

To recoup debt
