They've left a longer trail of bodies in their wake, and they went through the unfortunate (but well deserved) "EA Widows" scandal over their woeful treatment of their employees. They've done little to nothing to earn anyone's affection. That they're now leading the charge for DRM and microtransactions is just solidifying the community resolve to hate them.thebobmaster said:That's true, and EA is responsible for at least some of the disasters (Ultima VIII and IX, for example). But people act like EA is, as I said, Snidely Whiplash, buying up companies they don't like just to screw them over. And yes, EA is a very corporate corporation, and I could see how developers could have conflicts. However, gamers act as if EA is worse than Activision, or Ubisoft, or every corporation ever.
But yes, it's not like they're Monsanto or anything.
