It’s a great series. The thing that bothers me is seeing how EA’s always had predatory practices and how the games industry has always had the issues we’re seeing today but on a smaller scale.
It’s basically the same thing every product goes through under capitalism - when the ultimate goal is to make as much capital as quickly as possible, eventually everything profitable gets bought up to be squeezed of its profits until it stops making money, and is then abandoned for the next thing. EA is just a product of a system designed to incentivize their exact business strategy, and there are many more like them.
