The gamming industry changed along with the tech behind it, not just EA.
EA develops, produces and publishes great games still.
Just look at the game we play, Apex Legends, hands down the best FPS game out since 2019.
I really thought that this thread would be a sort of celebration of EA games and gaming in general and not the complaint department.
My first video game was Pong on the original Atari system, also had a Commodore Vic 20 and played Frogger etc.
As long as video games are produced I will game.
Long live Gamers and gaming communities.

Yes, they have come a long way, from 5 euro games to games that retail at almost 100 euros.

@CCbathwaterthats a myth , the price for AAA Titles from the early 80 up until now hasnt really changed much (and if they rather got cheaper) if you account for inflation.
I remember Pitfall 2 burning a hole of around 150 DeutschMarks into the buyers pockets. If i calculate (including inflation rate ect.) what that would be in nowadays euro currency regarding purchasing power its around EUR 165 ...- hayhor3 years agoHero@r1ggedgame Agreed. I cannot remember what my atari 7200 games cost but original NES games in the mid to late 80s started at $40 and I believe in the 90s those systems hit $60 for a AAA title. Games have only recently on PS5 hit $70 for the base game. Yes, you can buy special editions for $100 but those are almost always cosmetics or add on junk that is unnecessary. Then you have to factor in free to play games like apex, fortnite and warzone. Really I would argue the only ones keeping gaming going are the whales who spend on the extras because costs to produce has not gone down. Software salaries are higher than ever.

Thank you all for your post's.
It is really impressive once you start to look at the list (quite large) of games that EA has developed/designed and or published in the last 41 years.
