EA has pulled the curtain back on who has been playing Mass Effect 3 multiplayer, and how many of those **** Cerberus Phantoms we've all killed! Other stats include 1,800 years of game time, and what is the favorite multiplayer alien race.

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

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.
I never have any context for these numbers.
that stat for gold is probably less than 0.5%, even silver is really f***ing hard, i cant imagine playing gold unless everyone is level 20, lvl 10 weapons and really organized (using headset)
Everybody's going to be playing silver this weekend. Get used to low level characters joining. At least until they get their pack. I guess they can kill brutes in Bronze after that.
Play silver this weekend and get a partial extraction and you will get one free victory pack. If everyone (in the ME3 community) kills 1 million brutes (everyones kill count totaled) then next tues everyone will get at least one N7 weapon in a pack.
Tried it, pretty fun.
Never got into a good team though. (as usual with these type of modes)
