#13I don't think AGS will be better than EA as a publisher. I can't believe I can say that.
Seeing how they handled New World and how they currently handle Lost Ark...
For anyone unaware, Lost Ark has a serious bot problem and the answer from AGS is to act in a way where the primary impact is felt by legitimate players.
Lost Ark makes RuneScape's history of botting seem minor in comparison.

#15Surely this will be the Rubicon for FTC to take a serious look at the gaming industry, assuming this actually gets announced?
or you know… amazon

#16Amazon appears to be putting out offers to tons of companies right now. Forays into health care and now a large gaming vendor.
Jeff: "I need to to acquire everyone."
Amazon: "What do you mean everyone?"
Jeff: "EVEEERRRYYYOONNEEE"

#17Will there ever be a point where as a society we agree to put an upper cap on the size of companies? Does Amazon really need to absorb even more? Doesn’t that stifle competition?
I understand that enforcement is hard as the rule wouldn’t be global, but still curious.

#18All ea games past and present require prime sub, but on the other hand a mass effect TV series would be nice if they don't fuck it up

I was thinking of trying out Lost Ark this weekend. Is the botting bad enough that it affects someone soloing their way through the game?
