Can I get a list of everything bad EA has done in the past or so? Including shit like hanging up on Goldman Sachs, staging protests against themselves, claiming everyone who didn't like Mass Effect 3 was homophobic, and killing one gamer's father who was on life support?

I want to compile a list of every single thing. To really hit it home with some people why EA truly is the worst company in America.

The hell it will. You saw what they did with FIFA 2013 and how casual gamers ate that shit up.

We're the niche group. Pandering to us brings barely any profit. Look at fucking Xenoblade and The Last Story. Unprofitable as shit. Special Edition runs of the Last Story litter store shelves spite all the praise it was getting for being released in the States.

But if you slap on an extra number on the end of the title, you get loads of money from people that will play the game for about six hours total and then go out and have fun with friends.

EA will out live us all.

Stocks increase in value the more sought after they are. Basic demand and supply.
Each company has a different number of stocks, meaning a company who's stock value is $10 doesn't mean they're doing worse than a company who's stock value is $15. It depends on the company and how much stock they have.
Typically, the more stock you have, the less valuable it is.

Now, ignore all that because it doesn't matter, because EA has been lying out the ass about their stock value and cash on hand for the past three years. Goldman Sachs, the biggest investor company IN THE WORLD. THE TOP DOG. THE ONE COMPANY EVERYONE BOWS DOWN TO. They called EA during a conference call and told them their numbers were not adding up.

And EA hung up on them because they didn't have an excuse.

Usually people are stupid.

You can discern that anyone who worked for EA is stupid.

In this case it's not farfetched to believe they did not do the costly consideration of setting up a backup power source.

Or maybe they did, but it wouldn't hold up for long.

No, usually you retards are so desperate to hate on anyone you dislike you'll believe absolutely anything.

No hospital is going to send a patient who needs constant life support home without making absolutely fucking sure there's emergency power, cause if they don't, their asses are in the fire if the patient dies.

Here's some insight into EA's business practices. To summarize:

- The EA reps in charge of the studios actively work against each other to sabotage someone else's project
- If a guy is in charge of multiple teams, he'll work to promote the one he likes most while sinking all the rest

Not sure how this conversation came to this, but;

>>157022984

It's ultimately the patient's decision. If the patient wants to go home, they have every right to refuse treatment and go home.

>>157023141

Actually, hospitals DO do everything to make sure you're okay, even if you can't pay. They're legally obligated to resuscitate and stabilize you no matter what condition you are in. Outpatient care and extended care is still your ass, but if you're about to die they'll at least get you into stable condition before they start charging you.

I would say, because they intended him to die at home. If he was at home on life support, the person probably requested to die at home rather than in hospital. But the point is that it is unknown how long he may have lived, and EA definitely cut his life short, thus murdering him through negligence, if the story is true.

Why the fuck would you defend EA in this argument of all arguments.

It's just a breathing apparatus. The patient has every right to choose how they want treatment and where they wish to receive it. If someone wants to install a breathing apparatus in their home and rely on a caretaker, no one's going to tell them they aren't allowed to do it.

Nursing homes rarely have "backup generators", but they seem to get away with it.

The hospital can't come into your home and examine your "breathing apparatus". Your life is your own responsibility, and if you don't want to trust it to a hospital and spend the rest of your days in a sterile white room, that's your prerogative. Guy was probably a smoker and wanted to spend his last few years in his family house with his loved ones, not stuck in a hospital bed.

Sure, it's tragic, and obviously did nothing to prolong his life in the end, but if that's what the patient wants, and they are of sound mind, they can do whatever they want.

EARLY ones, yes.

But nowadays, if you are going to make a game of a much bigger scope, you just don't do that.

When you are doing a jack-of-all-trades deal by yourself, is alright. You put out your game, you made it passionately and whatevs, but it's not meant to be a 40 hour epic.

>People do some research and find out how her entire career consists of a badly written comic book (basically, failed career, now working for video games because you don't seem to need writing skills for that)
>Tells everyone on Twitter people are just jealous because she has a vagina and is working in the Industry
>Bioware donates $1000 in her name to an anti-bullying organization because people where mad at her

>EA voted worst company 2011 by Forbes user-poll
>Mass Effect 3 and TOR get criticized into oblivion, mad fans left and right
>EA starts a gay rights petition for damage control and calls angry fans "homophobes"
>EA pushes the petition with spam-bots to reach its goal

There was this one guy that claimed that he used to work at Bioware. I can't remember if he posted here on /v/ or somewhere else. I think he said he worked on lighting. To surmise what he said ever since EA bought Bioware no one has talked to Bioware. It's always an EA rep that claims to work at Bioware. That and the working conditions at Bioware just plummeted when they were bought by EA.

That is if I'm remembering all that right.

You really bought that obvious troll thread?

As for the story, good. Mirror's Edge had a frankly embarrassing excuse for a story, both hollow AND badly told.

Holy shit... just... HOLY FUCKING SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
I can't take it, seriously... this is just fucking painful. I think I'll need a minute, holy fucking fuck fuck FUCK.
First video:
>cheesy campy, yet refreshingly funny and stylish game
>cartoony style that kinda reminds me of modern CGI movies (and it's done quite good, all fits together)
>kinda generic rock soundtrack, but nothing too intrusive for the video
Second one:
>basically EVERYTHING (intelligent) people point out in modern games to be shit, such as brown and bloom
>LOLSOHARDCOREGOREXDDDDD
>that fucking whigger-crap music that blares over the actual footage
>character concepts changed from kinda unique and destinctive to generic SPEC OPS SUPER AWESOME GEAR
And just to put a fucking cherry on top, they keep the face of the original character which looks totally out of place. It's like some mad serial killer that cut off someones face and turned it into a mask. It sticks out like a sore thumb and the entire design looks like it's stuck between the original look and that fucking generic as shit spec ops jumpsuit bullshit black hardcore leather straps and guns everywhere nonsense.

For fucks sake, the first video made it look like something akin to NOLF and the second one is basically just 'how to ruin a franchise before the first game is even out'.
For fucks sake, I can't get over how fucking HAAAAAAAAARDCOREXDDDDD the second one tries to be, when the first one was so goddamn obviously meant to be sold over its humor and comicy style. FOR FUCKS SAKE.

Many investment firms realized that EA was SHIT after looking over portfolios to look for safer investments after the mortgage backed scams crashed.

When most people looked at EA they saw that there was not value in the crap they were doing and there was tons of bloat and bad management.

It was apparently so they could publish a multiplat game, and the terms on paper of the EA Partners program looked enticing supposedly. My best guess is that, seeing as they exclusively worked with Sony before, they never really looked at publishers before and had no idea what they were getting into.

I was so young and naive... I saw the video a couple of weeks after it went public.

I obsessed over the fan-made forums, before an official website was ever conceived, and constantly watched demo footage religiously whenever it was released.

That's the thing that pisses me off. There are zero qualifications for what she's doing. She's just a loud mouthed cunt who managed to get attention for her idiotic drivel because mindless feminist and the white knights that follow them eat that shit up.

If you actually listen to her videos and stuff, her opinions are completely non-sensical. The fact that a multi-billion dollar Publisher hired her as a consultant is mind-boggling. At least, until you remember that it's EA, the video game equivelant of everything that's wrong with the movie and music industry.
