    If you can, please voice your concerns on Proton DB, Steam Community, the Steam Discord, anywhere you can. The terrible things these companies do must be known everywhere.

    Seems like EA doesn’t want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.

      You have to admire EA’s strategy. They have the official chick game, The Sims. Then they’ve got all the sports games; pretty much any national or international sports ball league has a perpetual contract with them, and sports bros who play Madden or FIFA just…can’t understand not buying sports branded stuff. They’re more secure in their market than Gold Bond Foot Powder.

        Exists projects similar to The sims that maybe can take the monopoly of this genre, just to show how absurd The Sims is: if you sum all stupid DLC and expansions you probably can buy all current consoles for that money. The problem is the sports games, like you said the perpetual contract just kill any competition.

          Sounds like a decent candidate for an open source replacement project.
