#EA
This multiplayer mode was something truly unique and spawned its own fan project called Renegade X, which revived the idea in Unreal Engine 4 and even got blessing from #EA to continue development, on the condition it always has to be free.
Unfortunately the team behind this iteration turned out extremely problematic, so I left them behind.
Nowadays I'm eagerly awaiting updates on #Earthbreakers, #PetroglyphStudios ' take on that idea.
This will have low engagement. This is an image I produced for some Enterprise Architecture meetings I will be in in the coming days as we finalize the work we will be doing in IT in the coming years.

EA should really consider a Syndicate (2012) remaster.
While extremely linear and fairly short, this Starbreeze Studios-developed FPS was quite a looker back then ... and it played well, too. In fact, Syndicate was ahead of its time in terms of gameplay.

The often made observation that some modern set of ideas (eg communism, #EA) that aims beyond the individual has something in common with a religion - it's neither as damning nor as astute as people think.
Just what you get if you aim beyond the individual. Religions were attempts, other things are attempts, too. Doesn't mean they're the same.

#EA #EffectiveAltruism #SiliconValley #LongTermism: "The problem with removing the messy, squishy, human part of decisionmaking is you can end up with an ideology like effective altruism: one that allows a person to justify almost any course of action in the supposed pursuit of maximizing their effectiveness.
Take, for example, the widely held belief among EAs that it is more effective for a person to take an extremely high-paying job than to work for a non-profit, because the impact of donating lots of money is far higher than the impact of one individual’s work. (The hypothetical person described in this belief, I will note, tends to be a student at an elite university rather than an average person on the street — a detail I think is illuminating about effective altruism’s demographic makeup.) This is a useful way to justify working for a company that many others might view as ethically dubious: say, a defense contractor developing weapons, a technology firm building surveillance tools, or a company known to use child labor. It’s also an easy way to justify life’s luxuries: if every hour of my time is so precious that I must maximize the amount of it spent earning so I may later give, then it’s only logical to hire help to do my housework, or order takeout every night, or hire a car service instead of using public transit.
The philosophy has also justified other not-so-altruistic things: one of effective altruism’s ideological originators, William MacAskill, has urged people not to boycott sweatshops (“there is no question that sweatshops benefit those in poor countries“, he says). Taken to the extreme, someone could feasibly justify committing massive fraud or other types of wrongdoing in order to obtain billions of dollars that they could, maybe someday, donate to worthy causes. You know, hypothetically."
Anyone know where one can get a legit copy of the original ‘The Sims’?
Urges are real…

My sympathies to folks who want to air what AFAICS are very legitimate complaints about #ElectronicArts as "#EA." Blame #EffectiveAltruism for stealing your hashtag.
Whatever happens we should always remember that any #EA or #Longtermist rationale #SamAltman offers is, first & foremost, a rationalization for doing what he thinks he needs to to get what he wants. #EffectiveAltruism, #Longtermism, the whole #TESCREAL bundle really, are all thirst-traps for sociopaths & narcissists.
Why - sincerely, why - am I surprised to learn that so many people involved with #EA have families with fucked-up moral codes?

Played again some Star Wars #Battlefront II (2017). It's still an amazing, amazing game, despite its obvious (thankfully non-functioning) micro-transactions design, which left it crippled forever. I weep for #DICE for letting themselves fall into the ugly, greedy mouth of #EA, instead of making great videogames. What a tremendous loss for #StarWars and #gaming.

EA SPORTS F1 23 celebra el premio de Las Vegas con un finde gratuito
https://powerups.es/ea-sports-f1-23-celebra-el-premio-de-las-vegas-con-un-finde-gratuito/
This N7 Day, please honor Commander Shepard and the crew of the Normandy by supporting the developers and creatives that BioWare/EA has harmed and continues to harm.
Layoffs are a choice, not a natural disaster. And employees are due fair severance pay and compensation--not intimidation, stalling, and refusal to pay fair wages.
#N7Day #N7SeveranceDay #masseffect #dragonage #bioware #ea #videogames #supportdevelopers #unionize
![Text in a statement from former BioWare employees. Bolded title reads: "BioWare Continues to Refuse to Pay Severance"
Body of the text begins: "On August 23 of this year, BioWare eliminated 'approximately 50 roles at BioWare'. Following the layoffs, seven ex-BioWare employees engaged the services of R. Alex Kennedy to represent their interests, stating that the amount of severance offered was insufficient under Alberta common law.
Counsel for the employees has attempted to reach a compromise that would avoid requiring lengthy court proceedings, but BioWare's lawyers refused any offers to negotiate and settle out of court.
The basis of Kennedy's claim is that according to Alberta precedents and under Canadian law, these employees should be receiving approximtely 1.7 months of severance per year of service they gave to BioWare. BioWare has now filed a Statement of Defence, which argues that the seven terminated employees are only entitled to two weeks of severance per year spent in service to bioare, because of a contract provision that Kennedy says is not enforceable.
The filing means BioWare will be taking these former employees to court rather than working towards finding an out of court resolution. The developers involved in the suit have expressed their disappointment.
[Several statements of quoted disappointment follow, providing examples of BioWare using intimidation and stalling tactics.]](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/cache/media_attachments/files/111/372/088/084/104/870/small/c18cfa566b6d77cc.jpg)

He’s written the mirror world version of Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto, but Andreesen is the exact same same kind of dangerous sociopath. #EA #TESCREAL #AIpocalpyse #BillionaireBratsClub
I get the sense that #AssemblyTheory doesn't have the same kind of malicious intent behind it as #EA. Feels like some guys indentified a promising analytical approach & then tried to reason back from that to universal significance. But I can see it having broad, transformative, & devastating impact, as it's used to manufacture certainty by miscasting probability as destiny.
To me the most interesting un-addressed question about #AssemblyTheory is what are the ways we can imagine its assessments being wrong? Assembly Index is already being framed as a determinative value, when it's really a chain of hypotheticals. In that way it strongly resembles the #EffectiveAltruism trick (& in #EA it is absolutely a trick) of following a quasi-Socratic chain to claiming that we will "likely" populate the universe with scadzillions of simulated human brains in a jar.

So I think we all need to come to terms with BioWare being a dead studio walking. It pains me to say it, and I really want to be wrong but…they fired a lead writer for Varric and the tech lead for #DragonAgeDreadwolf. Those are not good signs. I want to be wrong, I do, but…yeah.

#EA and #Maxis really have to clarify is Project René is Sims 5 or not, because it looks more and more like a multiplayer mobile game (it is 100% compatible with mobile after all) and seems to have no build mode, extremely cartoony graphics...
Point is the official Sims community is burning up over this and if it's NOT Sims 5 the studio(s) need to put their foot down before rumors take over completely.
As we wait for the effects of #ElNino to come this autumn, it will be testing the commitment of the #EA & #UU to work to prevent or mitigate severe #flooding again.

7/
After the disaster #KeswickFloodActionGroup #KFAG worked with the #EnvironmentAgency #EA and #UnitedUtilities to petition that during the flood risk season (autumn – winter) the reservoir is maintained 3m below full, to prevent flooding, and also, when there is heavy rainfall to gradually release increased amounts out to the St Johns Beck.
