Based on EA's recent investor's meeting, the company is very open to the idea of making their future games contain cross-play features starting with Battlefield V. Hinted they want to take the Fortnite model and use it for all their online multiplayer games going forward.
Also hinted they still think cloud based gaming will become the norm within 3-5 years from now. https://www.destructoid.com/ea-is-op...s-514573.phtml |

After doing some more reading about this incident, seems this might not have been the first time this former IGN reviewer plagiarized a review from Youtuber Boomstick and at least from one other place.
Also to make things worse, the former IGN reviewer was actually gloating about his Dead Cells review on Twitter right after it was released on IGN. Claiming it was the best review he's ever written and worked on. |

Apparently more damaging stuff about IGN's former reviews editor recently popped up.
Besides more alleged incidents of plagiarism, this person was supposedly very lazy when it came to doing prep work of any kind. At least two known incidents with one needing others to bail him out of a report he had to do and another involving an interview where he asked someone for ideas and instead of using it as a basis for topics, just straight up copied their wording for the questions of the actual interview. |

They make very slim profit margins on new games as is and these discounts were cutting into it more than helping for the long run. If these programs were bringing in a lot more money, they'd have no real reason to cut or gut them. |
