EA

Ah, Electronic Arts (often shortened to EA)... yeah, fuck them

Basically, here is a quick history to the monstrous conglomerate we know as EA

Long, Long ago... in a time now forgotten... EA gave a shit what their customers wanted, in fact they were hailed as one of the greatest groups in the gaming industry, seeing an EA logo meant you would be in for an enjoyable time. Not any more

No one really knows why EA became shit but it is suspected that (like all large companies) they forgot what it was that made them great (I.E. CARING ABOUT THE CUSTOMER)

Either way that is the past... what? you wanted more? To bad, I'm here to rant, not give you a history lesson

Anyway, EA decided at one point "hey, why should we work hard when we could buy out other successful game producers and slowly drive them into the ground?" and so they did they have, in fact, been doing this for years, as such fans of games that now bear the EA logo have begun to think of it as a slow acting Rock of Doom. The Ultima series, a major pioneer int the RPG genre, is a pretty infamous example where they bought out the developers and killed the series after rushing two games into production

This has become even more apparent after their acquisition of Bioware where they have completely fucked it over.
