It isn't hugely surprising to hear that generative AI is a big part of the vision for EA's second coming as a private company, as reported by insiders.

    They’re cracking it open and sucking out the marrow.Just like every other time private equity has “leverage buyout”-ed a company into the ground.

    They’ll pay themselves billions in executive compensation and then move on like locusts.

    I kinda hope EA doesn’t deliver much return on this bet. I sure won’t consume anything from them, anyway. Even put in a request to remove my EA Account.

    Yeah if the focus on dog shit “gacha” style mobile games this could work out well for them.

    Quickly spin up a game skinned and “written” about who ever or whatever is popular, team up with k-pop or make some freedom style trump loot boxes. The game play minimal so no need to spend there.

    Using AI assets they can fling shit at the wall and see what sticks.

    I can only imagine that the woman in the pic is laughing at this ridiculous headline. Guess what, EA, this is a terrible bet. You’ve fucked yourself.
