is it just me or does every company that merges with EA die out.....

it seems to me when EA comes into play the company seems to making anything while or destroys in game lore and the company goes against prevously stated stuff and there almost always feel rushed..... EX: mass effect 3 the endings were crap really i spent multiple hours and my choices didnt even matter and wtfs up with three differnt ending and star child which irratetating like serously i prefered the fan made ending, also dragon age 2 enough said on that one..... now dont get me wrong im not dissing the series i actually liked mass effect 1 and 2 and dragon age orgins but you can really tell how much EA has taken over in the latest products.

so what do guys think????????

i've been boycotting ea since they turn off servers willy nilly, i remember when they were cool, at least they didn't eat THQ before it died. acquire a company and sell off the fat (losing money) simple math. they don't care about the game, achievements, gamers just your money. Bethesda (ps3) and Valve (Valve time and half life 2 episode 3) are not as up front about this fact

That's because EA just sucks the life out of everything. And they probably intentionally tried to kill it off :p

Short answer yes, I remember the days of Westwood studios making Command And Conquer. EA bought them over the tore them apart and those were better games than the now Command and Conquers. Visceral Games are looking to be the next target after Dead Space 3 didnt make enough money EA decided to pull the plug surprise surprise. EA havent been voted the worst and most hated company in gaming for a joke they really are that bad and they know they are but dont care because people still buy their games

EA is very much the spoiled child of the gaming industry.

"Daddy, I want that one!" *points at developer*

"All right, you can have it." *buys developer*

Some arbitrary time period later...

"Daddy... I'm bored with this one. Can I get a new one?" *comes back with very broken and mangled developer*

"That's okay, sweetie, we'll buy a new one because we have MONEY!" *evil, fat businessman laugh*

That is actually the best way to decribe EA in a nutshell

Im boykotting EA... the weird "extramoney-grubbing-via-Microtransaction (Deadspace3)", "Zero Day DLCs (Mass Effect 3)", Killing off Developers after Start (SWTOR) and so many dead game studios... sorry, not with me.

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...lectronic_Arts

Funnily, its crowned as the worst company in the USA:

Funny thing is EA isn't that evil, they are on the company's that started the Microtransactions in games, and they know what sells, yes they love money and yes they love slitting games into longer then need series and DLCs that aren't needed but hell it sells

Yep, EA is trying to move towards mobile gaming.
