Since the launch of Microsoft’s Xbox One and Sony’s PlayStation 4 last November, Sony’s current-gen device has remained in the lead in sales, with a cool 7 million units sold as of April. But the real battle for gaming supremacy lies just ahead, the all-important holiday shopping season.
It turns out a competitive console war is a good thing for game developers.
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
What about Wii U? I think they are coming out with the best exclusive game this holiday season which will no doubt sell millions and make many people buy the system.
It would matter to EA if they cared about the Wii U.
Whatever system sells the most of their games is the one the dominates.
"Moore said EA plans to keep churning out titles for last-gen systems Xbox 360 and PS3.
"The hope is we get a decent tail of two or three years, and we'll continue to make games for those platforms as long as fans buy them," he added."

Dammit EA, two to three years is a long time for more cross-gen garbage.
One console to rule them all
TL;DR but my amazing abilities are telling me...
hmmm...
PS4 DERP
