À PROPOS DE ANTI-EA

This group was created to demonstrate our dissatisfaction with the company known as Electronic Arts, EA. We believe that for too long now, EA has been abusing its power over their in-house developers by making them set very strict deadlines which reduces quality control and sometimes forces them to release products that are either poorly made or not even finished properly, leading to the possibility that the cut or 'planned' content that was to be in the main release of the game is now forced to be output as DLC.

Since the creation of their online platform Origin (formally known as EA Downloader Manager) EA has been shifting focus on the PC platform to their Origin client. The worst part about this is, even though most of their games can still be bought from the likes of GreenManGaming and Gamersgate, we haven't seen anything that requires Origin appearing on steam.

People say that steam is not different by not offering their titles on other Digital stores, but this is not true, impulse is known to be selling a few Valve titles e.g.

However, more to the point we recognise that:

-EA is a company with financial needs, just like any other company or coporation

-There are some popular franchises that some in-house developers produce that are still very much liked by the gaming community, and thus disagree with us to an extent

However:

-EA has been known to support the controversial SOPA.

-EA have been known to be shutting down a lot of servers and services in many different games (some recent, some not, but still had a small community), while other companies have been keeping servers active for online multiplayer games that are practically dead.

-EA has been known to be one of the first to pioneer the online pass and on-the-disk/day 1 DLC.

Since most groups in the steam community are dead, we made a new, and active one.

Please Contribute to this group, by inviting your steam friends, and spread the word in chats and on forums. Post in the comment field about your experiences with EA.

Another wave of inaccurate bans hits BF players

11 janvier 2024 - Rich | 5 commentaires

EA is at it again, once more displaying their absolute ignorance and incapability of administrating their products and services.

Anyone who has played a Battlefield title in the last, well forever, is well aware of the amount of cheaters existing. This has been an ongoing issue since at least as far back as Bad Company 2.

Instead however of taking care of this issue, due to their incompetence, EA has simply ignored the issue, leaving cheaters to freely, not only disrupt the gameplay but even remaining on the very top of leaderboards (despite obvious false stats) and even as bad as ddosing servers, causing server crashes, doxxing other players etc..)

Recently however, a ban wave took place - but not the one you'd expect. The cheaters are still there, instead many players who have not been cheating, have been banned. It's a case of the automated flagging system not working (as is common with EA products..) yet again. One can hope that this problem is resolved quickly and that the false negatives are revoked, but that's probably giving EA too much credit. Instead, appeals takes so long that the automated bans period has ended, and so EA automatically closes the appeal case without even replying (leaving an infraction score that would cause future bans to exist for even longer..) or in some cases even worse, EA support has been rude and even outright harassing the people making the appeals.

This is also not a case of people getting banned, claiming they weren't cheating but it is up for interpretation or unclear in terms of evidence - this is a technical issue, we're talking about 100% confirmed legit players who have been incorrectly banned.

With EA banning and harassing their costumers, and their past releases being one disaster following another, will you support them financially in the future?

BF2042 release season 6 - and it's a complete fiasco

12 octobre 2023 - Rich | 1 commentaires

BF2042 is just the gift that keeps on giving. From a complete failure already back at the open beta weekend, it's been trying hard to redeem itself since - and while certain things have improved, it is far from what it should be.

Now they've launched season 6 (with very limited new content..) and with a lot of technical issues. Many players are reporting an infinite validation loop when attempting to launch. The solution is to completely uninstall the garbage EA APP and then launch BF2042 via Steam. It will then reinstall EA APP and resolve the problem (unfortunately, we're still forced to continue with that awful launcher..)

Once actually in-game however, it doens't get any better. The cost of of the battlepass has been massively increased with this season. From a previous 1000 in-game ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (the equivalent of 10€/10$) to 4000 (40€/40$)

Not only that but the amount of xp gained has been greatly reduced, making BP progression much slower - most likely a desperate attempt to have players buy "BP tier skips"

All in all, the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that is 2042 continues. Expect nothing and get disappointed still.
