"Remember the bad old EA so many of us gamers spent oodles of time criticising?
EA was the big time publisher that made huge amounts of cash off only releasing games from their pre-existing IPs (Intellectual Properties) like Medal Of Honor, Battlefield, and Burnout, their yearly sports 'updates', and off movie licenses like James Bond and Lord Of The Rings...
Then they changed. But now huge financial losses and a layoff of 1,500 staff may herald the end of their positive experiment into new IPs and innovation and a return to the old EA business model.
And it's our fault."
