  Wow, I had actually never heard that Doug Bowser was formerly at EA. Ooof

  I get that it’s more fun to point out his name, I’m just surprised I hadn’t seen the comment made before.

  Even EA isn’t this greedy.

      I mean, madden and the sims are at least as big of cash cows.

    Hell EA is doing good now in some ways like open sourcing the command and conquer games. Maybe they got rid of their Shit executives to Ubisoft and Nintendo.

      Yeah, they’ve been doing good work funding smaller teams too. Games like it takes two and split fiction are great lower budget experimental games.

        I recently broke a decade plus boycott of EA products to purchase Split Fiction for full price. My friend asked me to play It Takes Two with him for free through friend pass and I was so impressed by it that I wanted to support the devs. Besides, the whole point of the boycott was to “vote with my wallet” and I want them to know that I want more games with that kind of quality made by teams that are (seemingly) happy to be doing what they do.
