You can start ringing the new Skate's death knell, because EA says it's online only

Stop buying games made by these companies. Petition won't do shit. Take their money away, stop buying them

I wish that has worked over the last decade. It didn't. We need a governing body to stand up and represent us. That's what they're for. And yes I know it won't be exactly as written. Read the darn thingIt's worked for me, these games don't die in my eyes because they don't exist.

Hot take: If its a free to play online multiplayer game, its not very upsetting. Yeah, fans want another skate in the vein of the trilogy and it sucks we wont get that... But if i dont have to buy this game then idc if it will hit a premature death when it stops being supported. Yeah its a waste of development resources and i wish online-only games didnt exist for the sake of preservation, but i wont be upset if i get to play this game and dont have to pay a dime. Im not entirely sure itll be ftp though, so this take can be completely void.

Why would they stop? Cause you asked? Sadly this online crap is what’s making money and game companies are and have always been about money, all of them without exception

Another game I simply won't need to buy. Neat. I guess some publishers just don't like selling games or something.

>Another game I simply won't need to buy I mean, that would be the case whether it was online-only or not; it's a free-to-play game

Mechwarrior Online is FTP and Online only, has been since 2013 when it was released, still has players, still gets updates and still makes money without p2w shenanigans. Ive got 3600 hours logged, I still play regularly. Sometimes I buy some shit in game because I'm a grownup with disposable income and 3600 hours worth of entertainment is worth a few bucks.

Stop believing your coroporate overlords when they keep telling you that petitions, non-violent protests, boycotts, the UN, etc. doesn't work. They do, that's why they tell you they don't. Because then you'd actually make oligarchs accountable.

Free online multiplayer game doesn't have an offline mode? How bizarre.
