Because they know they can get away with treating their customers like s***

Y’all can’t live without your movie or show or video game so they know they can f*** you over cus we let them

I think you may just be depressed @op

I haven’t bought a EA sports game in years for your information mister

This is true

Consumers are mostly compliant in this bullshit. how many people for example with those half assed sequels will complain and still watch it anyway. I agree with the sentiment in previous years it felt like companies were after profits but there still was a sense that they wanted to achieve that through quality and a good consumer relationship. I think all that is out the window with all the optimisation that comes with apps driving retail and high amounts of data being a***ysed.

think about it like this

take music for example, if the industry ONLY selects generic easily replicated artists, and the only music being played in the mainstream mediums is this sort of music, it makes it way easier to make money and keep rolling out artists. at a point it becomes a problem when someone actually supports good artists, those people are ostracized by the industry

this applies to pretty much any industry

the truly sad reality is most people are so easily influenced that when the quality of art goes down, so does their taste and ultimately their intelligence

We in a country that borrow from the people talmbout a national debt

It kills me. This is the exact problem with the world. If youre shopping from basically any brand youre not getting anything thats made purely for quality or out of the love of the game anymore

market share

We’re so f***ed man I just want a good football game again

Because the marketing team knows exactly how to get people to continue to buy their s***ty product

if we stop buying it they will change or go out of business.
