    if i had to guess that’s because their subscription is cheap, was even cheaper before, and offered a lot more than ubisoft. enshittification spiral is relatively recent

        huh? it’s priced roughly the same as the competitors, ea play fits that definition much better

        edit: my regional pricings makes the comparison a lil harder, but it’s 3 bucks for ea play and like 6 for game pass, i think the proportions are the same elsewhere

          Explain how. I’d like to hear your reasoning for this. Not saying EA is not dumping, just how that’s at all relevant to the BIGGEST company in gaming dumping or not.

          Windows is the most deployed non business OS in the entire world. Every single Win10 and 11 user gets constant popus reminding them of gamepass offers. Every single computer electronics item, laptops et al sold in the EU has 1-3 months of FREE gamepass attached. Each laptop sold with Windows gets 3 free month’s worth of Gamepass. I’d like to know how EA play is worse (especially considering till Satya whipped Spenser like the little bitch he is you could get GP for 12-48€ for a year, some people subscribed for several years).

            lol i don’t, check your settings maybe

            Every single computer electronics item, laptops et al sold in the EU

            ah, there’s the problem. nothing like that where i live so ea undercutting gamepass by 100% seems like they’re the ones dumping
