Fall for what? They did one of the most pro-consumer moves they possibly could. It’s legally solid and irrevocable. It doesn’t mean I have to give a shit about their next live service game or be happy that they monetize soccer video games with gambling for children.
I don’t have to give a shit “about their next live service game”
I care quite a lot about game preservation. This isn’t defending EA; it’s praising this particular action. Again, this can’t be taken away from us, so it doesn’t matter what their next shitty behavior is. It doesn’t take away from this being good news.
They never said they don’t give a shit, they’re clearly happy that the broken clock was right this time of day. Nobody is praising EA as a company, but this one particular action they have taken is pretty based

Exactly, I really don’t get the all or nothing thinking where you can’t even acknowledge something unambiguously positive because of who is doing it.

I’m sorry but comparing this to domestic abuse is just insane
It’s literally the exact same tactic
EA doesn’t open source old games: EA are scum and anti-consumer.

If it’s good it must be bad, right?
That’s correct
I am under the impression that lemmy is more negative than reddit
People are people; I feel we’ve generally got quite a good vibe going on so don’t let the grumps bring you down!
