        I can’t boycott any harder you guys. It’s been 10 years since I’ve bought an EA game!

            Same but I would encourage anyone who hasn’t cancelled gamepass to do so until they pull EA from the package deal and lower costs accordingly.

              My last one was the Battlefield 1942 complete collection. So, 20 years here.

                Left out of the headline (but in the first paragraph) is that one of the investment firms is owned by Jared Kushner, Trump’s SIL.

                      Saudi obsession with acquiring anything related to sports is something to be studied.

                      Nothing wrong with loving sports, it’s the way they go about it that’s offputting.

                                If only.

                                If this is the thing that does EA in, we can all feel a little pride and accomplishment.
