There have been some conversations breaking out all over the net defending EA a bit because Frostbite 2 didn’t have very good initial tests and as such, Frostbite 3 “can’t” support the platform. EA has gotten a lot of flak over SimCity, but people are starting to actually give them a pass for the lack of support to Nintendo consoles. Hey, it’s the Wii U – it’s not as powerful as PS4 so it’s really not a Next-Generation console anyways!
Well, EA said it indeed was a next generation console.
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.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.
SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet

Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5
Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
EA likes to make profit on software and lately they haven't on Nintendo platforms
I'm sorry, but to be honest, I do not think anything bad will happen to nintendo. If sales of nintendo "wii u" are not increased, then the life support will be the "3DS" (already sold better than sega genesis, the atari 2600 and the first xbox. Http://goo.gl/rKPLF)
EA clearly do not like Nintendo or the Wii U, have you seen the articles on this site in the past day or two?
EA are making zero games for the Wii U, they're not putting Frostbite 2 on it, and an EA Sports engineer tweeted repeatedly on how bad the Wii U was, its less powerful than the Xbox 360, a current gen system that's almost 8 years old
Pretty sure noone is in any doubt what EA thinks of Nintendo. They would never come out in a press conference and say "we dont like Nintendo" but lets be honest they have more or less have done so in the past week.
One thing is for sure they have now got an unprecedented relationship with Nintendo...
To hell with EA......that make crappy recycled sports games andhonestly have very bad business practices. They have been voted worst company in USA 2 years straight, and are out of touch with gamers in general. And now they deliberatley screw over a whole fanbase of players because of their own lack of effort. The brought 4 games to the Wii-U......all of which came out later than last gen versions. Madden was missing the new engine, Fifa was missing features, Mass Effect 3 gets no DLC, was outsourced and was sabotaged by releasing the trilogy on other consoles at the same time, and Need For Speed while being the best console version, came out so late no one cared. And then EA has the balls to say well the sales aren't there. Well the console has only 4 million owners so far, what did you expect to sell?
But they now want to focus on PS4/Xbox 720 which has 0 install base so far. Good idea morons, you give up 4 million for 0 !!!!
