minus-squarepinball_wizard@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-213 days agoYes. I’m super pleased that EA appears to be doing the right thing, here. Absent everything thing else EA does and stands for, I would applaud this move by buying something from them sometime. That said, I will continue to abstain from EA games for another few decades. I like the “sense of pride and accomplishment” it gives me.
