However Josef Fares, the director behind the brand new co-op hit Cut up Fiction, says he’s had an ideal expertise working with the writer, even when no one believes he’s telling the reality.
EA isn’t a fan-favorite online game writer. Many gamers have complained in regards to 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.
Whereas speaking to PC Gamer in a current interview, Fares mentioned that he has an excellent relationship with EA and likes working with the writer. And but, every time he says that, he informed PC Gamer that “no one believes me.”
“For some cause, folks wish to hate EA, I don’t know why,” mentioned Fares, who grew to become well-known on-line after shouting “Fuck the Oscars!” on the 2017 Sport Awards. “My relationship with them is superb. They’re tremendous supportive of us. So I’ve nothing unhealthy to say about them.”
Fares additional elaborated that in his view, the actual downside isn’t with anybody writer, like EA or Ubisoft, however with capitalism itself and the way it forces folks to be grasping and at all times trying to make an increasing number of.
“The issue with the entire capitalist thought is that it’s essential make an increasing number of and an increasing number of cash,” defined Fares. “That doesn’t make sense, as a result of on the finish of the day, you’ll make silly selections. However I simply hope, in the very best of worlds, that you simply take much less of those silly selections and concentrate on what you really, really need. And people are the video games.”
“As a result of when you might have an ideal sport—we’re seeing it with [Split Fiction], a sport completed solely from ardour, a sport the place you actually don’t have to purchase two copies, a sport 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 folks wish to pay for one thing that feels nice. So I simply hope it evokes different publishers to do 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 desires. And whereas he admits EA isn’t good, saying that each writer “fucks up at times,” it appears at the least EA is studying from its errors and supporting the creation of video games like Cut up Fiction. And that’s one thing.
