Wing Commander? Isn’t that from the 1980s?

Thanks for the reporting, Step, especially the comments from the employers. I haven't been a huge fan of EAs games recently, and this will be another reason. Also, appreciate you pointing out that Kushner's group uses essentially the same logo as the EVIL org from Assassin's Creed. How on the nose can you get?! I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad and serious.

Private equity buying one of the biggest players in the industry while making it foot nearly half its own bill and ballooning its debt by a factor of 20 in the process, what can go wrong? I'm sure that debt is getting repaid and EA will keep operating as usual afterward, so that thousands of people won't be out of a job, right?

Also, what even is the realistic best-case scenario here, from a consumer's point of view? We get some low-budget remasters EA wouldn't have bothered with if it wasn't getting squeezed through the eyeballs because the bean counters demand more beans? 😅

Today I learned that the Steam interface lets you ignore an entire publisher.
