EA is not evil.

[Andre Rapp]

As for the idea that games produced after EA acquires them being of lower quality, let me point out a few things.

Mass Effect: Metacritic score of 94

Mass Effect 2: Metacritic score of 96

There's my Bioware example. Oh, and despite the hate-on for ME3, it has a Metacritic score of 93. Worst of the series, true, but many developers would be ecstatic over breaking 90.

seriously?
the game that had a massive flash movie playing on every add slot on every major review site got good reviews? ASTONISHING!
maybe i can just play the games myself instead of listening to the opinions of people payed by the publishers, and have repeatedly defended day 1 DLC and DRM
oh, that's right i did. ME1 was my favorite game, ME2 was fun but underwhelming, the Shadowbroker was better then the main story (hell, all the dlc (that was free) was better then the main story, which in the grand scheme of things served no point) and ME3 was an abortion.

I see you making a lot of assumptions.
Yet very much ignore the results. EA, especially the last couple of years hasn't exactly been booking much results, mainly just high losses and lot's of controversy.


Only thing I'm grateful for is Origin, cause else Steam would not have any competitors and that's a scary thought.

EA might not be evil but their marketing department on the other hand....
