UltraAlt Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM Posted Thursday at 03:22 PM Just dipping my toes into this .... ...mess. Doesn't look good on multiple fronts. Looks like the classic "cannibalistic capitalism" move. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they may be on ignore. (It seems I'm involved with so much at this point that I may not be able to easily retrieve access to all the notifications) Some players know that I have them on ignore and are likely to make posts knowing that is the case. But the fact that I have them on ignore won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. There is a group that have banded together to target forum posters they don't like. They think that this behavior is acceptable. Ignore (in the forums) and /ignore (in-game) are tools to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using them.
Troo Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM Posted Thursday at 03:38 PM Business Video gamer Electronic Arts to be bought in largest-ever private equity buyout valued at $55 billion "the massive deal is in line with recent activity in the gaming sector by the Saudi fund", wrote Andrew Marok of Raymond James. "Homecoming is not perfect but it is still better than the alternative.. at least so far" - Unknown (Wise words Unknown!) Si vis pacem, para bellum
lemming Posted Thursday at 04:48 PM Posted Thursday at 04:48 PM Yea, the way the buy is structured, it's just a leveraged way to dump debts into a pool to walk away from. Granted, I haven't been a fan of EA for personal reasons (just their treatment of employees, some of whom are friends)
Skyhawke Posted Thursday at 08:48 PM Posted Thursday at 08:48 PM Pretty decent "for dummies" explanation of this thing on Jake Baldino's youtube page. He talks with a friend that's a lawyer that works with these sort of acquisitions. Sky-Hawke: Rad/WP Brute Alts galore. So...soooo many alts.
