my gut says it is bad for the battlefield franchise but not necessarily worse than having EA continue to run it

It is getting even worse if that will happen.

I don't care so long as Amazon know how to make a server browser

Stock surged quite a bit before going back below market - reports have come in saying they aren't going through with any purchases

Considering what happened to the market EA being up 3.57% is pretty damn good.  Only like 4 stocks in s%p finished green

Amazon owning a game company would scare me

@Spinner1981Same but I am 51 and I am sure I will too but I find myself getting bored way too quickly these days when I play video games. Plus I have other responsibilities anyway.

Similar age here but I never get bored of battlefield.

I stopped playing other games about 5 years ago.

Though I've often thought when I retire I will probably buy the latest Nintendo console and whatever the current Zelda game is.

Nothing beats the vibe, immersion and atmosphere of a beautifully crafted open world of Zelda.
