That's cute, you linked an article from 2004! Get over yourself. A bunch of my coworkers have varying positive to negative things to say about working at different EA studios, but quoting an article from 9 years ago and asserting that working at EA is like working in a sweatshop is fucking disgusting. I worked crazy hours for years, but yet .. we got paid. You want to sympathize with corporate malfeasance? Think about the next time you shop at Walmart. Make your stand there.
You don't like their games? Don't buy them. You don't like the games my employer makes? Don't buy them. But sweatshops are sweatshops. I strive to be a great developer on great games for people that love games, but the sanctimoniousness tone of gamers these days with an outside perspective on how our industry really ticks makes it increasingly more difficult. And don't worry, you shouldn't have illusions about your boycott - there are enough folks like you who paint massive companies or countries or organizations with broad brushes that they actually do have an impact. So you can be happy your scatterbombs do impact the performances of games and get well meaning studios closed and reopened elsewhere (rebranded, because apparently, this is very confusing for people like you.) You might not take down EA, but you can be glad you'll probably be very very slightly responsible for an EA studio here and there to get shutdown for under performing just because of the monolithic brand they were operating under even though you wanted to play such and such a game.
I don't work for EA. I work for a competitor, actually. I just think it's fucking retarded to claim you're into games and think that railing against EA as a whole will lead to some kind of corporate meritocracy in the industry. You think you're playing games? You're the one who's being played.
