I love EA. They saved Brutal Legend. And they're publishing games by Valve, Bioware, Suda 51 & Mikami, and al the other exceptional talent in the industry. Plus they're doing in-house stuff like Dead Space, Dead Space Extraction, and Dante's Inferno. EA is my favorite publisher this gen.

How anyone can bash EA when we have Activision who openly admitted they would milk every game for 10 sequels if possible, and any game that can't be milked isin't worth their time.

EA is a saint in comparision to that.

Probably the same amount as EA, it's not that they make bad games though it's that they milk game series dry, GH is a prime example, it's been milked more than any series ever.

The old EA deserved it. The new EA is alot better and definitely don't deserve this kind of bashing. They have deved and published tons of quality titles this gen and it looks that way even in the future, but some of the studios they destroyed will never be forgotten by gamers. Either way I like EA.

At least the last 1-2 years they done a lot more towards gamers than say ubisoft or activision. They released some great new IP's like Mirrors edge and Dead space and they droped the pc DRM

Ea has bought alot of good development studios, but they dont seem to be using their best studios to make their games much anymore it seems. burnout is pretty cool concept but the handling of the car just sucks compared to the original need for speed. if burnout car's handled like need for speed even part 3 it would of owned. ea has made some great games in the past i really never bash them, except for their newer development studios burnout dev's is one.

I agree. And im sick of people bashing them for releasing the same games every year. The Madden franchise is huge and brings in millions. Now that EA is making new ips like Dead Space,Dante's Infernal,etc... they still get bashed. I dont get it.

I will cut EA some slack, they have been stepping up (for the most part) and are releasing some quality games. I would say that Ubisoft is the new (old) EA.

EA isn't as bad as they used to be. I dislike sports games but if you had a franchise that sold millions on minimal upgrades then you'd do it every year too.

Same. And they are actually making significant changes to Madden 10 (hate that name, especially since it does'nt have Madden anymore). Its the first time I have been honestly exited for a Madden game since Madden 06. If they bring back the QB vision and make it standard it would be on my "do want" list. I can't believe people bash EA for releasing games that their fans demand every year.

As for the rest of EA, they have been on their best behavior recently.

EA learned their mistake from the past. Also, because of EA financial loss last year, I think it should better produce quality games for 3 systems, not just 2. They cannot ignore the other half of the overall market on Wii.

If you guys read the article you would know it was about EA Sports and Fifa 10, not BioWare, Brutal Legend or anything. That being said, one of the guys on IGN posted a comment about how all EA Sports does is sell $64 roster changes. Please don't tell me you people actually believe that? EA used to do it with Madden and Live but they are really improving those franchises now. People would rather keep supporting 2K though, even though NBA 2k has basically been the same since NBA 2K on the Dreamcast.
