hu·bris

excessive pride or self-confidence; arrogance.

In my opinion Valve will be the company to go down in history. Silly EA.

Here's to hoping they never make it as far as Disney is to animation (as in stifling the credit to Pixar). They've only been great in games they don't even make (BF2 was DICE, Orange Box was only published by them etc).

I don't even think of EA when I think of the Orange Box.

I don't understand how such a big company like this doesn't spend more time developing their games. I think the sales of the Wii show many people prefer gameplay over eye candy; however, if eye candy is there, great!

Don't forget about blizzard, pretty sure they always put out quality games, at least now-a-days. I thought EA made this pledge a while ago as well, or they conducted a study, or someone told them that. They get all these people excited about a game or something, only to find it buggy and disappointing. Usually you can see the potential in a game, and it pains you (well at least me) that its buggy and doesn't play correctly.

If EA is considered anything in the history of Gaming it will be considered the both the VIACOM and the ESPN...

VIACOM for buying everyone out on the block
ESPN for the ri-hi-hi-hi-diculous amount of sports games they do...
