EA's business plan has been the same since the early 90s.
Step 1: Forcibly sodomize both customers and dev studios.
Step 2: ?????
Step 3: Profit.
In all seriousness though, I think that to make the company leaner, they were forced to abandon many franchises and platforms that they found to be unprofitable. The shitty part about this, is that if the business side of EA didn't insist on ruining the majority of the games that EA makes, many of them would have actually had a chance to stay profitable.
- davedx 14y agoYou don't "forcibly sodomize" people who entirely voluntarily buy your products with full knowledge of what they're getting.
- phaus 14y agoThere have been numerous occasions where the features of a game don't match what has been printed on the back of the box. Also, look at the Sim City fiasco. The people who purchased it couldn't even play the game in many cases, because they weren't able to connect to the authentication servers.
