Can I ask why have moderators if blatant harassment doesn't get dealt with?
How to solve communication problems at work?

They don't produce anything. They just market and publish the titles. So while they do serve a necessary function for these games, they aren't involved in the creation of them.Originally Posted by skitzin
They were published in retail by the EA Partners group, which is rumored to be shutting down. Meaning any subsequent Valve games would need to find another retail distributor.

I wouldn't be surprised if Maxis and BioWare both feel the pain from this one. Reads like EA is really spreading it around.

If I recall correctly, EA published The Orange Box and Portal on consoles. Originally Posted by Dingolicious

Popcap and Quicklime, two confirmed studios completely shut down in this round of layoffs (source)
Though I have no idea who quicklime is, it's further proof why people dislike EA as a company. They just bought them out in January and 3 months later none of them have jobs. Piss poor management at it's finest.BAD WOLF

One of Popcaps studios was shut down. IIRC they opened at least one additional studio after being purchased by EA. Originally Posted by Kittyvicious

I'll never understand how they managed to survive for as long as they have.
For the sake of gaming innovation and indy games, I hope they disappear real soon.

Then there are those idiots who will look at their favorite franchise that has been run into the ground for X reason and defend it to all hell. Or those mentally inept bastards who follow any magazine/review site religously and buy whatever game they are paid to say is the greatest thing ever.
I realize that a large portion of the gaming community are children who wouldn't know taste if they had three tongues, but still, there's no excuse that EA is still a thing.
I've also noticed a large increase in just general bullshit you see with some game developers. When a game comes out that severly tanks for whatever reason, try and find a developer interview. Oh God, it's like chewing on barbed wire. They just go on and on about how great the game is going to be, how they are "innovating" the way we look at games.I AM the world's first Shadow Mage.

Oh damn, Dungeon Keeper was such a great game.

But it's still bullfrog :P
It's a shame that game was so buggy, it was pretty fun "when it worked".
Wish I had a syndicate box though. T_T
