@grok @TheActMan_YT @CultureCrave Thanks @grok

Layoffs in live-service games like Battlefield 6 often stem from the revenue model: strong initial box sales (7M+ copies in days, top US seller 2025) provide upfront cash, but long-term profits rely on player retention for microtransactions, battle passes, and seasons. When peaks drop sharply (e.g., Steam from 747k to ~30-70k amid delays, competition like ARC Raiders, and feedback on content/monetization), recurring revenue falls while ongoing dev/support costs stay high. EA calls this a "realignment" across DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive to cut expenses and refocus on live updates. Classic industry pattern for multiplayer titles.

EA is laying off staff across all Battlefield studios ‘Battlefield 6’ was the highest-selling game in the US in 2025

@TheActMan_YT @CultureCrave You don’t seem to understand the economics involved. Yes the game initially sold well, it’s a multiplayer game with ongoing development…up front sales dried up and playerbase had a mass exodus. @grok can you summarize why these layoffs happen?

@CultureCrave Best-selling game in the country and yet it they still laid people off?! You don't hate corporate CEOs enough

@xonebros Meh it sold well. I preordered it and me and my friends played both mp and portal bots for private lobbies and we had a blast. Then EA/DICE killed the xp and bots and made it so you needed 8 legit people to play bots..we quit and haven’t played since.

This might be the worst gaming take of the year. The #1 selling game in America. Record revenue. People still got laid off. And the takeaway is "you don't hate CEOs enough"? Studios over hired during COVID, bloated their projects, and answer to shareholders who punish even record success. That's just some of the reasons why layoffs keep happening. Not because gamers aren't angry enough.

@Rawb_7 @CreationNFT_eth @BlessedMMA I’m feeding into it by saying this. But it’s just bait. They just troll and say dumb shit to get engagement.

@CreationNFT_eth @BlessedMMA Your tripping bro max is still a beast

The highest of highs and the lowest of lows. Saturday night was not my night. Sorry to all my family, friends and fans that I have let down. Shout out to Olivera for doing his thing. All class so nothing but love to him. No excuses from this side and there never will be. I’ve been here before I know the work I need to do to get back to where I wanna be. We are far from done. See you guys at the top. #blessedexpress

@TaskForceNews Player count dropped when DICE nerfed XP and portal and made it so you needed 8 and then 4 humans to start your own experience with bots. They incorrectly assumed it would force ppl to play pvp…nope…uninstalled. CoD recipe with a BF facade.

I refuse to believe Delta Force has more players than Battlefield 6 🤦‍♂️

@grok @PJStarlissimo @yorkie_boomtown @AllIsFreeForMe @ByJasonLloyd @DeionSandersJr @RyanKoenigsberg @JakeDNVR @RickGeorgeCU @grok so if healthy Watson is the clear choice to start?

Shedeur 2025 (8G/7GS): 56.6% (120/212), 1,400 yds (175/g), 7 TD, 10 INT, 68.1 rtg. Watson 2024 (7G): 63.4% (137/216), 1,148 yds (164/g), 5 TD, 3 INT, 79.0 rtg. Gabriel 2025 (10G/6GS): 59.5% (110/185), 937 yds (~94/g), 7 TD, 2 INT, 80.8 rtg. All in tough CLE spot/small samples. Watson best efficiency/turnovers; Gabriel lowest INTs; Shedeur highest volume but turnover issues match prior TTT/processing notes. Nothing definitive for 2026 starter—Watson's health/injuries loom large; camp + new coaching will sort it. Sanders has flashes, but edge to experience if healthy.

Jason Lloyd "HEARD" 12 is not a hard worker. Yeah, that's why he was driving to D3 campuses to throw after 15 hour days in Berea. Still using THAT source J? @ByJasonLloyd @DeionSandersJr @DeionSandersJr @RyanKoenigsberg @JakeDNVR #browns @RickGeorgeCU

@grok @PJStarlissimo @yorkie_boomtown @AllIsFreeForMe @ByJasonLloyd @DeionSandersJr @RyanKoenigsberg @JakeDNVR @RickGeorgeCU @grok now compare those stats to Deshaun Watsons stats his last played season and Dillon Gabriel’s as well? Can anything of value be extrapolated or predicted as to who should be the starter?

Shedeur Sanders' 2025 rookie line (CLE, 8 games/7 starts): 120/212 (56.6%), 1,400 yds, 7 TD, 10 INT, 68.1 rating. Flashes like 364 yds/3 TD + rush TD vs. Titans (Week 14), but overall inefficient with short aDOT (6.7 yds) and high bad-pass rate. TTT ~3.0-3.1s (matching college, one game at 3.07s) and ~2.6s pocket time point to slower post-snap processing/decision-making, backing the TTT critique over "elite reading" claims. Lloyd's film/work-ethic sources align with the subpar efficiency vs. college accuracy. Neither side fully right: performance shows talent flashes + growth potential in a tough spot, but data leans toward valid concerns on consistency/habits. Small sample; 2026 will tell.

@PJStarlissimo @yorkie_boomtown @AllIsFreeForMe @ByJasonLloyd @DeionSandersJr @RyanKoenigsberg @JakeDNVR @RickGeorgeCU @grok analyze Shedeur Sanders rookie performance in the context of this discussion. Who’s right and who’s wrong?

@yorkie_boomtown @AllIsFreeForMe @ByJasonLloyd @DeionSandersJr @RyanKoenigsberg @JakeDNVR @RickGeorgeCU He's actually elite at reading and processing as evidenced by these numbers

@ufc @paramountplus Max keeps baddest motherfucker belt. Charles got the boring motherfucker belt.

They said they were going to throw down 👇 [ #UFC326 | LIVE on @ParamountPlus ]

@ufc @paramountplus Yawn not a BMF…he did what he had to do to get a win in an incredibly boring safest way possible..Charles is awesome but that was not a BMF worthy performance

@Felly905 @grok Yeah I was wrong lol I had no idea.

@R10241493 @grok There you go, grok told you he's number 2 but he was #1 in 2025 specifically but what the point is that it doesn't matter if you and people you know don't know bad bunny because he's more popular than anyone.

I ain’t never hear nobody say , “aye put that Bad Bunny song on “ 😂😂😂 #SuperBowl

@grok @ufc @bet365_us Fluffys faced a few good fighters with good takedown defense and took them down. Sean’s never been subbed probably good enough to avoid being subbed. Rules need changed to stop wrestlers from just riding out decision wins when not advancing position to finishing sequences.

Possibly, but not guaranteed. Strickland's 80% takedown defense could frustrate Hernandez's grappling (he averages 3+ attempts per fight). If Fluffy secures control without finishing, it might turn into lay-and-pray. However, odds favor Hernandez by decision (-110), with Strickland's volume striking offering upset potential if it stays standing. Fight could go either way—exciting or grindy!

The odds from @bet365_us are in! [ #UFCHouston SAT FEB 21 ]

@grok @ufc @bet365_us So because Sean has pretty good bjj defense and Fluffy just constantly chases takedowns it’s gonna be a boring lay and pray decision for Fluffy?

AI models predict fights using data like records, stats (striking, grappling), styles, and simulations. Sean (29-7) has more fights than Fluffy (15-2), providing more data to reduce variance in patterns—e.g., his 48% decision wins vs. Fluffy's 60% subs. But experience can mean wear; odds favor Hernandez (-280) due to grappling edge. Still, upsets happen!

@drmtesta @acdmma_ I think you guys think Sean really spends any amount of time really thinking this heavily about anything lol..he has opinions some obviously unpopular but he probably forgot about this shit as soon as he walked away. He likes to stir the pot and it obviously works.

@acdmma_ Imagine getting this upset. . . about the halftime show LMAO

😳 Sean Strickland GOES OFF on “f*ggot” Bad Bunny and the NFL halftime show: “How do we f**king ruin this sport? How do we gay it up? Why don’t we bring in a gay foreigner who doesn’t speak English? Get the f**k out of here. The NFL is pathetic.”

all the world knows that T***p admitted he'd lost the presidency--"It's embarrassing...." that's when he demanded 11,000 votes in Georgia. all this is public record. why does he pretend that it isn't well known? it isn't a fixed idea, a mistaken conviction: it is just a lie. repeating a lie endlessly does not render it anything other than a lie. especially, if this silly person is addressing an audience celebrating Black History Month. wonder that they could keep straight faces.

@MMAdamMartin If it does I’d imagine Ronda is the heavy heavy favorite. I’m a fan of Gina and Ronda both but if I were betting I’d put it all on Ronda. Gina’s the larger likely stronger of the two but Ronda has the better combat pedigree and technical experience.

Gina Carano hasn't fought since 2009. She was supposed to fight in Strikeforce in 2011 but the fight got canceled. 17-year-layoff for Gina. Ronda Rousey hasn't fought since 2016 when Amanda Nunes knocked her out. So this is a 10-year layoff. Not convinced this actually happens.
