    Personally, however they run their company is of no concern to me as long as the quality of their work is not affected.

    Call me selfish, hell it's 100% true. Deal with it. I do.

    Now, the thing here is that EA's way of doing business is affecting the overall quality of their products, simply because they underestimate consumers' knowledge of the very same business they're in. That tends to happen with companies that end up thinking they're bigger than the business sector they're a part of. They'll wake up when they'll see themselves shrinking.

Some people actually stop and go "No, this isn't okay. Destroying gaming companies and making cash cows out of popular IPs is harming the industry I enjoy"

    If I compare games and their developers/publishers by money/hour of entertainment, EA is in the midfield with most of the game companies, the only ones that rank higher are ID (and they didn't need EA to fuck up their games), Valve (is going the path of EA pretty strong, and actually I owe my money not to valve, oh well), blizzard and Bethesda softworks. So EA never hit any of my most valuable game producers (most of them hit theirselfs pretty good sometimes)

    Oh, so the obvious is retarded now? You're going to tell me that the video game and banking business sectors work the same way?

    Also, mellow down with the overreacting. No need to rage over this, kid.

    That pretty much brings up the crux of my argument against those defending EA. But what you say, is hilarious.

    It's OK for them to destroy smaller studios with hostile takeovers?

    It's ok for them to basically crush games people have loved for decades underfoot?

    You people CONSTANTLY are whining that "Oh EA is not the badguy it's the BIG EVIL BANKS" and yet you are defending them literally being the sterotypically evil big business?

    No, I am going to point out that why should people vote for banks of America, if they do nothing about the poll, than EA, who throws a PR hissyfit on it?

    WTF are you expecting? That the gaming industry doesn't go the path of the other industries? And no, banks took it to another whole level with their corporatism, EA isn't even close, and will never get.

    When they started blindly defending a huge toxic business because it won a poll over other huge toxic businesses.

    Right. If you KEEP defending EA's business practices by saying "WELL OTHER BUSINESSES ARE BAD" then you cannot really claim Banks of America are any worse and evil can you?

    It's just business.


    Last I recall, Valve don't need to work like EA, neither do Sony, Nintendo, Ubisoft or even fucking Activison.

    FUCKING ACTIVISION.

    People vote in accordance to their opinions, not reactions. They vote in accordance to what they prioritize personally.

    Ah, I see.

    "EA just made a few bad games now they're being attacked by all the NERDS"

    Here is a fact son. How did EA get put on the poll to begin with?

    Okay, unless you stop putting words in your mouth because you have a pre-conceived vision of my position on the matter, I won't discuss this any further with you, as you seem to know my own opinion better than I do.

    I find it funny people ignored all the links I put in the thread, and instead defend EA blindly with such stupid phrases as

    "But Bank of America are worse!"

    "It's just business!"

    "It's just a bunch of nerds on the internet!"

    "Who cares it's just a Poll on the internet!"

    "But I Enjoy EA games!"

    When the swiss government has to bailout EA with 70 billion dollars, I will vote them to the ranks of evil of some banks. Or if they get like a gazillion complaints from NGOs about child labour, destroying of the environment and ingorance of human rights stuff, I will even vote them to the level of another company that shall stay unnamed.

    I'm not really defending EA's business practices, I just say it wont change, and they wont go bancrupt, because that's just how it rolls, maybe you can become a major shareholder of EA and change their path, no?

    And Valve is walking a pretty shady path too, Sony, wait...they are in that DRM boat with Ubisoft aren't they, or did they already sink that ship? Activision is actually pretty nice!

    Let's make a TL;DR: You can't force EA to make good games, you can't stop them from buying up smaller companies and fuck them in their dark room, you just can't. And after all that, they are still not the worst company of the US.

    Obviously I do then, because you use the same ragged arguments as every other EA defending Shill in this thread.

    I'll give you a bottom line so you can READ and PAY ATTENTION.


    Banks of America don't care about this poll. EA do. It hurts EA more. Hurting one Big Greedy Corporation is better than hurting none.

    Why would I be sarcastic? Why shouldn't I defend people? You both believe that you have the right way of living and that you have what you need. I'm sorry that I'm just more aware of you but if you took a look around maybe you'd realize that you need to open your eyes.

    Let me tell you a tale.

    There were once three men living in a cave. They lived there their entire lives and the only source of light was from a fire that they kept going. The fire was, to them, the only light in the world and the small circle it provided was their entire life. One day, a terrible storm raged outside the cave and the men heard it deep inside. The wind blew the fire and made it dance upon the wall. After the storm, one of the men was curious about where the wind came from. He tried to get his fellows to join him but they refused. The man set out on his own, trying to navigate his way out of the cave until he came into a bright light. The light was so bright, he was blinded momentarily. When his vision returned, he saw the light came from the sun and he looked down upon the world. He was so excited, he knew he had to tell his friends. He ventured back into the cave and told them but they merely laughed at him and chased him away. The man knew if his friends wouldn't come to the light, he'd bring the light to them. And so he dug. He dug down until he found his friends. When he showed them the world, they felt so foolish that they bowed before his feet, begging his forgiveness.

    I'm trying to enlighten you...

    Thank you for clearly showing you have zero knowledge of the Game Development business. I can now safely ignore you as it seems you are stuck in 2010

    I am not defending ANYONE. That's what you don't get. You're just trying to pick fights and stuff people you pick fights with on that side.
