I’m talking about the 2005 game.

The 2005 game. I had paid full price for the game and enjoyed it for a while. Then they released the expansion pack BF2:SF. The players who owned that expansion pack had access to more powerful weapons which they could use online against players who didn’t have that pack. Essentially turning a paid game into a “pay to win” format. I since then haven’t given EA a penny.

I’ve stopped buying EA games when they turned Battlefield 2 into a pay-to-win game back in the mid-2000’s. But I remember distinctly how bad EA was with those stupid unskippable splash screens. My guess is that they’ve never improved, from what I can see. What’s the point of those anyway, other than annoy your players and make them hate your company?

I must have first seen that picture well over a decade ago.

That was some seriously cringe slogan.

But how was this ever enough to justify voting for the guy who has no morality, cheats and bullshits his way through everything, selects his entourage based on loyalty over competence, divides the country through purposefully polarizing statements and filed for bankruptcies 6 times, 5 of which were casinos? And that was what we knew before he was elected.

That’s just showing how superficial a lot of the voter base really is.

Actually strong people don’t need to belittle others around them to feel stronger.

Management not providing their employees with adequate tools to do their job while also keeping them in the dark about the greater picture of their company. Ignoring their employee’s problems and then blaming those who try to solve it on their own.

And whenever you want to search for information about something the result page gets flooded with AI generated garbage pages with misleading titles and that provide bullshit information.

That article is also so obviously biased and manipulative. To pretend to be balanced while controlling the narrative in their favor, they have a short section where they mention some lesser downsides while downplaying them and completely failing to even acknowledge the main concerns that people’s basic rights for privacy would be violated by such a change.

And then they dangle the carrot of a better credit score in front of their readers should they accept to have their rights eroded further. What kind of dystopian bullshit is this?
