The hottest opinion these days is that EA is awful. Significantly worse than the Bank of America. Most members of the gaming community, far and wide wouldn’t dare refute this, and those that do would probably face damning consequences. But is this anger misplaced? More importantly, is it even relevant?
New report from Skillsearch found that 22% of those surveyed had been laid off within the past 12 months.
It's a step forward for Stop Killing Games.
The Callisto Protocol director thinks the solution involves the right people, the right timing, and perhaps a little bit of AI
I don't agree with that. I WISH I could agree with that. But buying habits and customer opinions prove otherwise
We've seen developers in the AAA space try new things and ideas. More often than not, the customers aren't willing to give things a chance, or not enough people buy into the project for it to grow.
Creativity works better in the indie space because the budgets, pressures, and expectations aren't the same.
it's a nice idea and it worked during the PS2/PS3-era when AAA didn't cost hundreds of millions of dollars. smaller budgets and shorter development time left room for more creativity and more risk. a game didn't need to sell 4 million+ copies to break even. things are different now.
This is the guy who bragged about crunching his staff and having them work through the night. Crunch culture has lost more talent and done more damage to the industry than any other factor. Screw him.
Not nearly as bad as Capcom haha.
LOL, no one thinks EA is worse than Bank of America, most people are just happy EA won "Worst in America" because they knew EA is small enough to be affected by the negative press where-as Bank of America would shrug it off and keep on raping consumer's wallets like no tomorrow.
EA deserves all the HATe in the world from gamers.
i dont get the EA hate.
if you dont like their products, dont buy it. dont buy it and whine about it afterwards. its not like they the only ones making that type of specific game. for every EA game im sure you'll find an alternative game out there.
Battlefield = Modern Warfare
FIFA = Pro Evolution
NFS = Juiced
etc etc.
i think Activision has more bitch moves than EA. one example is they want you to get online passes for single player content.
EA deserves every ounce of hate it gets over the years of mistreatment to their fans and the businesses it buys out and runs them into the ground. People can talk about capcom and activision all they like. But they still don't hold a candle to EA shaddy practice. Even though capcom is trying hard to get next years worst company in America award.
When these two company start preventing other devs from make fighter games and FPS then I'll put them up their with EA. As far as activision keep releasing CoD every year. Its nothing different then what EA did with football,soccer and NBA live. (even thought it couldn't compete with 2k basketball)
I admit they may not be worst than bank of America. But they are a cancer in the game industry no less and they deserve the hate they receive and there no amount of damage control articles is going to change that. Only EA can
