Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson recently took part in an interview where he talked mostly bollocks and spouted propaganda.

He defended loot boxes, promises "live services" were sticking around, and shared his enthusiasm for a future where we can "access" games, but don't own them.

Expecting anything less, he suggests, is naive. Maybe he's right, but I don't have to like it.
