EA shouldn’t be a fan-favorite online game writer. Many gamers have complained concerning the firm’s use of microtransactions and on-line passes, and the way poorly it has dealt with its possession of beloved studios like BioWare and Origin, to call just some issues. Regardless of all that, Fares says he doesn’t perceive all of the hate.

Fares additional elaborated that in his view, the actual drawback isn’t with anybody writer, like EA or Ubisoft, however with capitalism itself and the way it forces individuals to be grasping and at all times trying to make increasingly more.
“The issue with the entire capitalist thought is that that you must make increasingly more and increasingly more cash,” defined Fares. “That doesn’t make sense, as a result of on the finish of the day, you’ll make silly choices. However I simply hope, in the perfect of worlds, that you just take much less of those silly choices and give attention to what you really, really need. And people are the video games.”
“As a result of when you’ve a terrific recreation—we’re seeing it with [Cut up Fiction], a recreation achieved solely from ardour, a recreation the place you actually don’t have to purchase two copies, a recreation that doesn’t have any microtransactions. And also you see the success it does. I imply, it’s even a monetary success, clearly, as a result of individuals wish to pay for one thing that feels nice. So I simply hope it conjures up different publishers to try this.”
Fares additionally informed the outlet that EA doesn’t intrude with Hazelight because the studio develops its video games, letting it experiment and create no matter it needs.
