Quoteworthy - EA Hates Single-Player Games, Or Not

"We are very proud of the way EA evolved with consumers. I have not green lit one game to be developed as a single player experience. Today, all of our games include online applications and digital services that make them live 24/7/365." -- Frank Gibeau, President, EA Labels. Thanks supererogatory via Destructoid. Frank walks back from that in a follow-up on Kotaku, where explains that these aren't the droids we're looking for: "I still passionately believe in single-player games and think we should build them. What I was trying to suggest with my comments was that as we move our company from being a packaged goods, fire-and-forget business to a digital business that has a service component to it. That's business-speak for ‘I want to have a business that's alive and evolves and changes over time'."

Well EA, given I much prefer single player experiences that could be why I don't give you much money anymore. Come to think of it, nobody is giving you much money anymore which could be why you're in financial trouble.

Keep ignoring single player and you won't have a business that's alive.

To the companies that are filling the single player experience gap - keep it up and you'll do well.
