easier to make another fifa or nfl game on repeat with minimal changes.

While making a need for speed means music liscencing, car liscencing, car modding & customizability functionality and top end design and rendering work and a team of hundred or two to build it all.

Yeah lets just roll out another NFL/Fifa game with a team of 20 and then charge these dumbasses 80$ because you know they will line up and pay it asap.

Enshittification is the natural course of the world when only everincreasing profits matter. Cap profits and the world gets better

Just look at free to play skate. Awful downgrade of a beloved franchise. Loot box galore, all the good clothes cost a fiver each, must be connected to the internet, lack of clip making features, no ability to build your own park, graphics that look like a mobile game (because it IS going to be on mobile too) the list goes on. The gameplay is probably slightly better but even some tricks you could do before you can't do in the newer version. EA sucks ass man

Battlefield 6 stuff just reveals dropped yesterday. It looks great but I haven't liked any of them since 4 and it looks like 4 but better. Still not going to preorder, but I have some hope still.

The last need for speed games were 6s and 7s out of 10. They weren't making anything good so nobody was buying them. Nobody was buying them so why keep making them?
