Lol, "Private" - until it someday is surprisingly purchased/acquired/enveloped by Microsoft, and added to Gamepass.
That's the headline I thought this was tbh - are any of us actually expecting like anything else out of EA?? Uh, Cod, EA Sports, Madden, FIFA.
Fr. We'll get more sports games, COD, and some you know movies themed market manipulated IP tie-in games, like the however many Mad Max type were... such games are only sometimes decent and very rarely worth $50-$100.
EA has invested all their energy maximizing profits and that has worked well but those micro transactions are like all coming from such predictable near dribble... the rest of their development has long been skewed to games that create "platforms" for micro transactions, along with the significant shift to mobile,
EA is kinda like a very well funded, well established, well equipped, super elite "Paper Tiger" - $50 billion status quo.
Currently EA is getting very positive responses to the previews of their new Battlefield title, after the last ones where underwhelming.

Is that true art all? They were quite tame with micro transactions in their previous Battlefield titles and BioWare games.
I'm being harsh bc the gaming industry deserves it. It's the most profitable form of media, and has been for awhile now, and all they ever really tried to do was rewrap a casino, and space out gameplay so that its played daily as progression. Meh, that's a tangent tho.
Today, rn - EA is a $50 Billion Gaming Giant but is not Sony, Samsung, Nintendo, Apple, Epic, Amazon or Microsoft, so... that's just the way it is.
Microsoft will make an Xbox out of everything. All publishers want to be distributing on a near universally adopted platform - which is what Game Pass is now.
EA already existing within the Game Pass ecosystem means they can't get out any more - this isn't the streaming wars, I already know that Netflix wins in the end.
I'll not tolerate an EA platform and they literally already have one, I have to occasionally visit, despite EA on Game Pass - bc it's janky and not worth the money at all a top of Gamepass. t
ALL the bigger companies have distribution platforms they pray we all adopt as a forever SaS - we already know how this goes.
Microsoft wins.
AFTER THAT, I think the whole distribution model will change completely.

Call of Duty is not an EA product.
