Am I missing any more?
yes.. let's see..... the major NFL agreement, the slavery inside their organization and the constant agressive business approach. I mean, shit.. even the french government wants to stop this madness by buying the company. oh.. how about the censorship on the-sims-online users' blogs? And that's just what we see.
EA games is not what they used to be. EA games right now is like EVIL! shit.. forget intel or microsoft, this one's a real player and the worse is that they got the money to back their wars.
Dammit. If ubisoft goes EA what's gonna happen to the myst franchise? that scares me. alot. Specially when we all know what happens when they step up in the scene.
