Or is there a chance for redemption? Lol, check this funny video describing EA's recent revenue loss.
So is EA just about over with?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
I dont like them either but they're probably the biggest publisher in the world right now. Out of all the publishers they also have the biggest & greatest collection of games under them though.
I cant name a single publisher that has as many great titles & franchises as EA does. EA sucks, but their games rock.
I loathe all this EA hate, they do not deserve it and did more this generation then any other publisher with close to 2 dozen games at least AA. I did a blog on this, and people are just not aware at all at all the information. It's just blind stupidity.
Yes, yes they do. You either have to be 12, mentally challenged, or work for them to think otherwise.I loathe all this EA hate, they do not deserve it and did more this generation then any other publisher with close to 2 dozen games at least AA.

They'll be fine, people will continue to buy Madden and their other sports games every year, and they have other games that get high reviews as well.

EA publishes excellent games. Battlefield 3 and Mass Effect 3 off the top of my head.
I, too, cant understand the EA hate. Many pc gamers hate EA because of origin and want EA games to be on steam. Well guess what... steam was crap too, before it hit 2-3 years old (buggy mess). Origin is under 1 year old?
And EA gets hate from Bioware's decision about Mass Effect 3 ending...
They're not going anywhere.
But if they want more revenue, how about not charging full price for a new sports game every year? If they released a roster update every second year for maybe $20, and a full new game the other years, they might get more money instead of having people pass all together.

Exactly, this gaming community has some of the most fickle and ignorant sheeps of any sort of industry. It's sort of like people with anti-American sentiment, they believe everything that they hear. pathetic
No, they'll be fine. I feel like the more hardcore gamer base is shunning them, however the more casual COD, NFS crowd keeps on coming back for more and more of these rehash titles, keeping EA a very viable company.

What the hell are you talking about. You illiterate children don't even know why people are mad. Mass Effect 3 was a terrible game right from the start, and battlefield 3 is simply call of duty with vehicles. They've ruined franchises like Battlefield and Command and Conquer. What made those games great is gone. But you're probably to young to know it. I also don't think you know what sheep means you lemmings. And you probably think people hate America because it's America too. It isn't blind stupidity either, you're just to lazy and unintelligent to actually figure out why people hate them.
With as many great games as they've published which have sold a lot of copies, i'm kind of confused as to why they are losing money.
hoola
They're losing money from they're hardcore gamer audience. I don't see many casual gamers trying to play games like SWTOR and Mass Effect. Especially with the recent drama with the Hitler style bannings from Star Wars for visting planets under the required level cap and the Mass Effect 3 disappointment. Casual gamers who don't know or care about complex games like Mass Effect will always be happy with another BF and Madden release.

If you say people dont hate EA, because of Origin and Mass Effect 3 ending. You should maybe read and you would notice people loathe Origin (becuase it has problems now, "EA sucks"). I guess the same people didnt use Steam when it was under 2 years or so. Because it was same buggy mess and had problems like Origin. And origin is about 1 year old.
Also people, in this forums too, blame EA for Bioware's Mass Effect 3 ending.
Battlefield 3 is great game. Excellent successor to battlefield 2.

No it's not. And why the hell are you using these forums as a judge for why EA sucks? I already stated why Battlefield 3 is far worse, and with a little bit of research (as in not gamespot and ign) you'd learn why. But then you'd have to leave your precious little bubble of protection here. You can't use the "one year old" argument because somebody else has already done a proper digital distribution platform, and therefor they know what they need to make it work. They ignored that and got deserved anger from the community. And I'm not the leader of some group you idiot. I never said those weren't reasons people dislike EA. Those are just two examples and you ignored the rest.[QUOTE="c0kemusheen"][QUOTE="Nohtnym"]

And you probably think people hate America because it's America too. It isn't blind stupidity either, you're just to lazy and unintelligent to actually figure out why people hate them.Most of the people who hate EA (I used to be one of them) hate them because of another Origin incident entirely. EA Origin used to be a niche collection of studios who made extremely innovative games. Syndicate. System Shock. Ultima. Populous. I don't need to go much further. Basically, because EA more or less killed its indie wing, PC gamers turned on them, and rightfully so. Then they killed Westwood, and the rest is history. Well, not quite.
In the last console generation, they really arsed it up. Most of their games were pretty mediocre, and the only thing that really started to restore my faith was Time Splitters: Future Perfect. But EA has also really gone out on a limb with some of their studios this past gen that they haven't done since the mid 1990's when FPS's stole the show.
Now, as far as Battlefield goes...Battlefield 3 is leagues deeper than Battlefield 1942 and its brethren, so that vitriol is unjustified. Bioware effed up Mass Effect 3, not EA.
What EA has done this gen that's quite messed up is the on-disc DLC bullsh*t and their new Origin fiasco. But guess what...they aren't the only ones withthe on-disc DLC thing. Bethesda's guilty of it (well, id), too. And they've been going downhill for awhile.
IMO, the publisher equivalent of the devil is Activision, not EA. Activision has destroyed one genre and is in the progress of ruining another. To top it off, they screwed with the lives of two developers because they don't want to pay them their royalties. Not to mention on-disc DLC. I'm sorry, but that's far worse than rolling out a crappy distribution system that can and will be fixed because if it isn't, the penalties will be severe (class-action lawsuits and all).
Anyway, I have far more EA games this gen (not including Rock Band) than any other, so that's pretty telling; regardless of the crap they pull, they're at least making great games again and they deserve credit where it is due.

If battlefield 3 is call of duty with vehicles so is battlefield 2.
What battlefield 3 does better than BF2. Destruction, not always the route which is blocked by sniper or lmg. Also gives quick hiding spots if you get shot. Karkand benefits from it greatly. MUCH BETTER hit detection, in bf2 it was sh*t. In bf2 spray pattern is weird, shoot from 1 meters and bullets misses the enemy. That never happens in bf3 (maybe sometimes).
Also Im not gonna argue with you anymore, since you call me child, illitare and idiot all the time. Mad dude :D
