EA can play dumb all it likes. When you spend years disrespecting a market and then tell us we need to respect a market, we can smell the hypocrisy a mile away.
Okay guys, say it with me. The intent…
Hardcore RTS C&C fans didn’t gravitate to a dumbed down mobile game? Surely it’s because they don’t know what they want. It’s not because of the fact mobile gaming is as far from core gaming as you can get without going outside Earth’s Atmosphere.
Command & Conquer was one of my favorite rts’s ever. Then EA got their hands on it and my favorite series slowly withered and died with each terrible EA release
Wait, we’re trusting these people with handling the mobile market? With their servers? In a REAL TIME STRATEGY game?
You’d think a series based around their business tactics would be their flagship one.
I’d rather have nothing now.
Mobile games? Those things people used to play last decade? The Army of the Clones permanent reboot? Riiiight
This is what happens when you let investors create games, not game developers.
_Cant spell Death without EA._
They could compete with Blizzard’s Starcraft. They could compete with Firaxis’ XCOM and Civilazation. They could compete with Creative Assembly’s Total War and Halo Wars 2. “But no”, said EA, “let’s treat C&C the same way we treat sports and mobile games”.
They refuse to understand that some games have very speciffic gameplay style and appeal to very speciffic audiences. C&C’s not FIFA. Get over it.
You can’t spell ‘sleazy’ without EA.
If they think mobile games deserve respect, why not put their best foot forward ? Earn our respect, show us they can be more than egregious monetization, produce something truly special. In short: Prove it !
Strategy on mobile in 2013: XCOM Enemy Unknown
Strategy on mobile in 2018: Command and Conquer Rivals
It’s been 5 years since XCOM on mobile and Rivals has somehow managed to look *WORSE.*
EA destroying franchises like they were enemies in a Dynasty Warriors game…
EA would defend aids if it thought it could make money out of it lol
Mobile games are to EA what pachinko is to Konami.
Hey EA, newsflash: You have no goodwill left.
Remember Starwars Battlefront 2?
You. Have. No. Goodwill. Left.
Please take my money so I can skip this waiting period and rush ahead to the next waiting period! It gives me such a sense of pride and accomplishment!
These Greedy cunts know what WE WANT , but we don’t know ourselves?
