EA’s Excuse For Ignoring Nintendo Switch Sucks

Hopefully as the Switch sells more EA realizes how dumb this excuse is and catches up quickly.

Knightofelemia2491d ago (Edited 2491d ago )

EA sucks Nintendo doesn't need them the Switch is doing very well without EA.

VenomUK2490d ago

This is a clear declaration that EA wants gamers to use EA Access with whatever cloud service they are using. Which suggests availability on Google Stadia as well as Microsoft xCloud and and Sony's PlayStation cloud services.

EA shunned the Dreamcast and while it could have helped them through... Sega's sports games were superior to that of EA's at the time anyways.

Knightofelemia2490d ago (Edited 2490d ago )

EA shunned Sega and the Dreamcast mainly because EA was waiting on the PS2 to be built and launched.

xX1NORM1Xx2490d ago (Edited 2490d ago )

I dont get why they dont support it properly, they support xbox and thats only like 3 million units ahead... maybe its the audiences, xbox one and ps4 are all about graphics and power and are seen as more grown up than the switch so they attract the fifa and battlefield players.

KeenBean3452490d ago

They cant be bothered to port them over and the switch userbase is less likely to purchase micro transactions I imagine. It's their loss at the end of the day

quent2490d ago

Not having EA games on the the Switch is a selling point imo

You’re right. I wouldn’t lose sleep over any EA game right now. Bunch of greedy b*stard.

MikeNike3102490d ago

Haha. Good one

EA The company itself may be greedy but they actually have some pretty good game developers that make games I would love to see on the switch.

It's so easy to bash EA and play the Nintendo defence force... But companies have their reasons.
Nintendo never put Pokemon on home consoles until now. It's a business decision. Just it.
Stop acting like Nintendo fans are special snowflakes and EA is just an evil force trying to hurt you an your purity.

King_Noctis2490d ago (Edited 2490d ago )

But the thing is, EA is just plain evil, with or without Nintendo support.

Tross2490d ago

While Nintendo's biggest fans turn a blind eye to its biggest faults (which makes discussing that with them rather pointless), it's not just the Nintendo defense force as you put it who's glad there's an EA-free sanctuary in one corner of the console market. Xbox and PlayStation fans hate that evil corporation too. I mean, we can deal with that by not buying their BS, but as I for one ignore what they pass off as games anyways, them not being on the Switch is no big deal to me.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio27d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing27d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9227d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit27d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing27d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9226d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse

To be fair, there are also human made games that release and lack any fun at all either.

jznrpg30d ago

But all of the great games have been made by humans

jwillj2k430d ago

One is by choice, the other is a feature.

PRIMORDUS30d ago

Guild Wars 2 been playing for 14yrs, 1st beta. This is just one company I support, Arenanet and NCSoft, even though I torrent, there are a few PC companies I will buy from. "PlayStation’s Horizon MMO spin-off, Horizon Steel Frontiers." I feel this will be good, NCSoft is a good developer/publisher.

CrimsonWing6929d ago

It’s a tool. Use it elevate things and get it done faster. I’m sorry but not every game made by humans is good. If this can help things, then I fully embrace it.
