I never liked Evil Arts. THEY ARE MURDERS!!! lol They kill games. (only EA game I own is crysis.)

Die ea die painfully... :haha:

Screw EA!!! :stare:

Exactly, EA for the most part is a distribution company. When it comes to content they suck balls. Maxis was just fine wtihout EA, maybe didn't have the marketting apartus, but they did OK for themselves. With the internet and worldwide shipping companies, why is there a need for distribution companies like EA. But then again, I am just a consumer, and not a business major or anything like that. The studios would do just fine sending their own stuff ot market without EA.
Here's a question though, who the heck decided exclusive licensing for video game products was a good idea? If anything it reduced the amount of innovation that came from year to year in those markets.

You know what ? Die EA die a painfull death. Good games will still be made but the quicker this *bip* company goes off the radar the better for all of us.

My bro said it best,

If the CEO of EA would have any sense in his head, he'd some day quote Spaceballs :" I knew it! I'm surrounded by A$$holes!" XD

Keep firing, A$$holes!

Well for me i dont want EA to die.

If im right, no EA means no more Battlefield. The Battlefield online series is one of the best shooters to ever come out for me. Then theirs Medal of Honor, & Command and Conquer series. As for their sports games never been interested but I dont want BF to die.

You want a large profit-only corporation to continue going around gobeling up small indie games and turning awesome game ideas into ****ty linear storyline based crap?

Indie games really need to learn they can sell games themselves, they don't need some large company to do it for them, though I suspect that EA doesn't let "saying no" stop them.

EA's "Medal of Honor-Pacific Assault" has some good features, and as an online game it's great. True squad based combat in a WWII shooter is a great concept and was reasonably well executed, but yeah, the linear storyline was poo poo, the difficulty settings were pretty crap (a perfect headshot at 100 yards wasn't good enough to drop someone at the hardest setting ) and all that "banter" was ill timed and just plain wrong ("Conlin smoked another one!" Um, actually, I was getting treated by the medic and reloading....now get your friggn' butt outta the way, you're blocking the way!). Long load times, some historical idiocy (strafing an aircraft carrier so it sinks off an non existant island wih 10 minutes flying experience) and an AI that was pretty kooky at times.

However, yet again, the modders took a fair to middling game and turned the online play into a GREAT game.

I wonder if by riff-raff he means the likes of Ageod, Paradox, Stardock, Matrix? Because this is where, presumably, all my gaming money will go in the future.

But EA will not die. It will eventually lose all informed gamers, but today they make up no more than 10% of the market. In fact I am more worried that he might really get rid of some competition. By chance, I came upon this related news today: http://www.lighthouse-interactive.co...lared-bankrupt

Wells it's actually old news, just the official statement that Lighthouse is definitely no more.

Battlefield was made by Digital Illusions, C&C came frome Westwood Studios and Medal of Honor came from DreamWorks Interactive. EA had nothing to do with the conception of these series. Just like for so much else, they took over or merely distributed it, and not nescesarily for the better. This is exactly why so much people dislike EA.

No more EA would probably just mean that some other big company would take their place, not nescesarily the end of a series. ;)

Actually, I think EA breaking up will just spawn a host of smaller companies which would probably buy the rights to these, and probably make them better than EA would as well

EA destroyer of franchises, devourer of good developers, doom for the videogame industry....

EA is like the borg....

DEATH TO EA!!!!

who wants to join my angry mob to storm EA headquarters? i brought pitchforks and torches:D
