I will never understand how EA went from the game company everyone knew and quoted with that "Its in the game!" slogan to a laughing stock and poster child of shitty studios.
Capitalism. It corrupts everything eventually.
Sure, I’ll concede that in the beginning you get innovation but we’re not in that place now. They actively stifle it. Look at Hollywood, you don’t see mid budget movies anymore and nobody wants to take a risk on a creative endeavour if they can make X-Men 66.
You just have to look in the right place. The mid budget film became high-end TV shows on streaming services, which are allowed to innovate and experiment like crazy.
For one season.
Or worse, the creator is promised multiple seasons and writes accordingly, but the show is cancelled and you’re left with an unfinished product.
For this reason I have completely stopped watching a thing new. I'm sure I'm missing a lot of great shows ut I'm just sick of a great show ending on cliffhanger thT will never get resolved
Sadly, that era seems to be drawing to a close as well.
For now
