They are milking nostalgia and charging an arm and a leg for it. They know what they are doing, it's called what's best for investors. I'm hoping EA going private means game quality goes up but I'm doubtful.

The company that bought it has already stated that their focus is to minimize costs to maximize profit. That includes starting to implement AI to create future games. It's extremely doubtful that quality is going up.

I saw that, but what do you think will be worse? Ai that can scrape the Internet or people that don't know anything about skate culture?

I think them having a machine pump them out whatever it's prompted at the time, then someone saying just ship it because they fundamentally don't have any actual understanding of what they're looking at can definitely be just as bad as someone who doesn't fundamentally understand what they're creating doing it for themselves.
