EA has stopped paying for the FIFA license, which is why their next game is called EA Sports FC (Football Club)

This resulted in them delisting every single FIFA game from digit storefronts, including the less than a year old FIFA 2023

    At the end of the day, both FIFA and EA are horrible companies. No one should be giving them any money whatsoever.

    The reality of things is that we all know that EA will launch their own brand, publish the re-badged FIFA titles under it, and then continue farming mtx money from people, who have no self-control

      EA is just a gaming company releasing yearly mtx shitboxes for whales while FIFA is global level corruption fuckfest with actual influence

      These are not comparable

      It would matter more if PES/WE were still popular. Those games were superior to FIFA for many iterations but the lack of official clubs and players was a big barrier of every for most

      I was just hoping for more cyberpunk style corporate warfare. I mean a gambling company and a corrupt monopoly decide to fight? Where are the bombings of corporate headquarters? You can’t tell me they can’t recruit a bunch of mercs to try and save them that 150 million.
