"Being a gamer in today’s economy is not easy with most games running at least $60 plus tax and having just one home console running you a minimum of $200. Then accessories with controllers running about $55 each and if you are an Xbox gamer, you have an Xbox LIVE subscription to pay for if you want to play online. With all of these expenses, you would think being a gamer today would be only for the rich. This is not the case though; there are ways to save money and still enjoy your gaming experience. Follow some of these simple tips and you will save money and still be able to enjoy some great video games."

EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
GameFly is definitely a great service for those who enjoy playing a plethora of videogames each year without hurting their wallet.
I always have to consider money when I'm gaming. I mainly buy new titles with gift cards or store credit. In my opinion, $60 is too much because there's such a wide variety of games out there. If I paid $60 for every game I had, I would be broke by now!
Gamefly was a good choice for me when I was on a budget! I used it all the time. Great article nick
