Comment EA is the whore of the video game industry. (Score 1) 185
EA's business philosophy is to create linear manufactured cookie cutter games that can be pumped out to the largest demographic in order to maximize profits. Regardless of the fact EA is one of the largest game companies they are also among the lowest quality of game companies. Them backing the "wrong horse" translates into them not making slightly more money and has nothing to do with making a better game. EA has diluted the gaming market with crap and in my opinion I'd back whichever console that monopoly wasn't focusing on. History has proven EA to be a back stabbing company time after time any way so why support them? They don't believe in building good business relations, instead they follow whoever they think will make them the extra dollar. If it wasn't for the Sega Genesis EA wouldn't be what they are today, but years later EA would end up putting strangleholds on the Dreamcast that contributed to Segas downfall. Sony will never see a downfall any where close to Segas but I feel EA is doing the same thing here. Sony helped push EAs product to the most masses over the last 10 years but that doesn't matter any more because a few extra bucks can be made elsewhere.
