I wouldn’t call EA anywhere close to the worst company in the world.
Serious contenders based on their overall effect on humanity would be Monsanto, RTX, Aramco, UnitedHealth and Nestlé.
It’s from PC Gamer, so I think it’s safe to say they mean worst gaming company in the world. They could have said that though.
Even limited to gaming, EA, Ubisoft, and Activision have always been pretty much tied for it. Now Activision is part of Microsoft, and I think with both Activision and Bethesda and the shit the latter has caused lately, I think we can bump Ubisoft out. And I think when Copilot gaming rolls out, whatever they’re calling that, they’ll be worse than EA was before. The problem with EA isn’t so much what they were before though, it’s what they’ll be under SA leadership.
Gaming by megacorps has never been good for gamers, and it’s going to get worse. And yet people keep supporting them.
It’s an AI assistant in your game that will help you, tell you where to go and whatnot by using Copilot to help by analysing your game.
Doesn’t sound too bad, I mean who cares if they see what you’re playing or how (bad) you’re playing? It’s just weird. Like the generations after mine used GameFAQs, or asked on Reddit, or watched YouTube videos. My generation read Nintendo Power, and shared tips on the playground or at school, whether we read it in a magazine or discovered it on our own. There were 1-900 numbers you could call, but no one I know called them. Maybe the rich kids did? I was forbidden from doing so (by my parents) and I never did. But that was actually another option. Like, Nintendo operated one. I think some of the third-party gaming magazines may have, as well. You could also write in, and maybe they’d publish your letter and a response, but that would take months.

Wtf is copilot gaming?

Aramco and not Raytheon or Lockheed Martin or Palantir or Blackrock?
Raytheon is now called RTX.
They’re the ones who are so evil they keep having to rename themselves.
Exxon, Philip Morris, Boeing, Northrop Grumman…
Do they make video games?
If you follow the comment I replied to, they mentioned non-gaming companies.
