For decades now EA was the icon of a company that does not care about anyone or anything. And now, after a success of Battlefield 6, they has proven they can be even worse than you could expect.
Battlefield 6 premiered in October 2025, it gathered decent reviews, the number of copies was high (over 7 million within 3 days), on premiere it had over 700,000 concurrent players on Steam. Soon it proved to be the bestselling game of 2025, with over 20 million copies sold, so what EA just did?
Yes, you have guessed it, they started to lay off the employees from studios involved in creation of Battlefield. I mean, what else could they have done? The game generated 1.5 billion dollars in revenue, they have to cut some costs somewhere to cover this... Wait, what? No, it does not really make sense. Oh, yeah, we are talking about EA, voted Worst Company in America twice in the past, it does make sense.
This news, as baffling as it may be, raises few interesting questions. First of all, why people still buying their games? Clearly, 20 million people never heard or just don’t care how shitty employer EA is. Or how little they care about the users, but that is a completely different story.
The second interesting question is, why people still want to work for EA? I can’t remember how many times I have read about yet another studio being sold to EA. Haven’t they heard how it usually ends up badly? Or they just don’t care.
And the last question is, why anyone would be surprised that EA has done something like that? All they want is money, their customers don’t care how bad company they are, their employees (for the moment) don’t care how bad company they are, EA is generating income, so... Move along, nothing to see here.

Wargaming reached level of The Simpsons
Do you remember The Simpsons? You know, that TV series that once was funny, before it became the forgotten, although still going TV series. Wargaming just got to the new level of pathetic detachment from reality, just like The Simpsons.
Is Dark and Darker finally dead?
Is the long forgotten Dark and Darker drama finally over? It is. At least when it comes to Epic Store.
The most bizarre idea in recent times?
Great news for all of the fans of Cheech and Chong comedy duo - now you can play as their characters in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 and Call of Duty Warzone! And... it is hard to tell why.
Ubisoft just keeps sinking lower and lower
When you thought that the moment Ubisoft’s shares reached the rock bottom was bad, or the moment they had to sell all of their most valuable assets to the new investors was bad, no one could predict they can sink any lower, right? Well, there was some development in that matter...
Hacker forum was just hacked
A hacker forum was just hacked and some data of about 300,000 wannabe criminals were leaked. Hashtag sadface, right?
And the Evil Corporation of the Year Award goes to...
What always fascinated me in the books, movies or video games was the concept of an evil corporation. They always had some nefarious, although logical, plans, they were powerful, they were crushing people just for the fun of it. They were always over-the-top, always taking part in some evil plans, and always had some twisted individual in charge of them. But in real life...
