EA's Skate. devs confirm the game will be always-online with no offline mode
Sounds like the game will never be on my computer
Of course not. It will always be online.
Amazing how they can just hack off large sections of the customer base with such ease. Might as well not worry about steam deck support if no offline mode.
Hey look it got EA'd
Never give EA money. Even for FTP shovelware, they're just going to wreck it. Company of vampires and necromancers squeezing games out of the gamedevs they already sucked the life out of.
Apex Legends is the perfect example of this, what was once a great game has now become the milkcow of EA. Literally made them 3.5 billion $ and they keep removing servers and just switched to even worse servers than they had before. They also put huge pressure on the devs to make skins rather than improve the game.
Wicked, nice way to tell me not to play it.
Boooo
Sounds like a game destined to be an Epic and/or Prime giveaway less than a year after launch.
It's free to play....
Free to play, but you WILL pay
Then I will not have to worry about ever being a customer. Thanks EA.
EA is always one step forward one step back.
They made a step forward?
Only the steps forward enforce by EU legislation.
NHL Hockey 95 was really good.
I'm fine with this if it means that other players in the game world are real people. Jumping in a session* and hanging out with other random skaters sounds like a neat concept.
But if it's going to be single player only then EA can go fuck themselves. In that case I'll just pirate the game.
Edit: I bothered to actually read the article; it's the first one. It's an MMO and apparently the game world will "evolve" and "change" as well. This has potential to be a dream come true for me if they pull it off. But it's EA so I'm not going to hold my breath.
I mean I thought it was a given when they first announced the game but still good to have it verified.
Still changes nothing for me at least in not ever intending to play this, I'm assuming, microtransaction ridden, psychological manipulative, live service trash.
I'm past the point of putting up with this sort of thing for games I want to play. I just don't go near them anymore.
The game is free to play, you don't see anyone complaining about Fortnite being always online. This is as nothingburger as it gets.
I'm sure FitGirl will think of something.
I'm being pedantic, but, Dodi and Fitgirl don't crack or reconfigure the games. They just repackage existing material into convenient downloads.
I don't think you are being pedantic at all. Fitgirl has nothing to do with cracking DRM or creating online bypasses. She provides an excellent service, but she doesn't pretend to be anything other than a repacker
