Destruction: 15 Reasons EA Games Is Evil

There's something about a good EA bashing article that I just love to share with everyone. Have a look at this Destructoid piece where they throw the empire under the proverbial bus.


Quote:
13: EA has kidnapped John Madden's wife and children in order to force him to keep promoting the company's football games. Every Thursday, Electronic Arts emails Madden a photo of his family, who are currently made to do motion capture work for the next ten thousand Boogie sequels. He is allowed one phone call a month to what he believes is his wife, but is actually Tiger Woods putting on a high voice.


14: Electronic Arts executives have been known to meet women and fall in love. They will then marry, have children and raise a happy, perfectly serene family for ten years. On the eve of their tenth anniversary, however, these executives will commit suicide. The loss of life, in an EA exec's mind, is worth the amount of suffering caused to a now widowed woman and several grieving children.
Ok, so maybe some of this article is there for entertainment value...like you don't believe some of this could be true? I mean come on people, it's EA Games we're talking about here!

You could probably make a top-10 list of games and devlopers that they have ruined.

Madden... used to be good
Westwood... good thing all the Westwood devs left for petroglyph
All the other sports games they've made every year. etc etc

That's hillarious, EA FTL. I hate them, they manage to screw up a lot of games even though they come out with some good ones also.

Its amazing how the Publisher of games has such a huge impact on how much the games suck. i personally think they ruined the BattleField Franchise. They could have easily made that game a whole lot better, but the pressure to publish the game and get it out into the bitchy public gaming world really didnt help.
