Andrew Wilson had some bots, EA AI O.
That line right there is comedic journalism gold.
I will never understand how EA went from the game company everyone knew and quoted with that "Its in the game!" slogan to a laughing stock and poster child of shitty studios.
Capitalism. It corrupts everything eventually.
Sure, I’ll concede that in the beginning you get innovation but we’re not in that place now. They actively stifle it. Look at Hollywood, you don’t see mid budget movies anymore and nobody wants to take a risk on a creative endeavour if they can make X-Men 66.
Ultimately the issue is greed. Capitalism is just a manifestation of that.
What happens is Innovation at the start focuses on making the product better but at some point the focus changes to make more money and that's how we get there
I feel it's logical, there is a break point where quality can't be reasonably increased to turn profit and that's when you get everything shitty with capitalism
I mean, EA has sucked for a very long time. They bought a bunch of game studios back in the day, gutted them, and shut them down, including Origin, the studio responsible for the Ultima series, whose name EA then used for their Steam wannabe. And they ended the era of competing sports franchises by convincing multiple leagues to give them exclusive licenses.
I'm still pissed that they bought and shut down Westwood Studios.
That developer gave National Treasure Tim Curry the best line reading in history, and EA took away any chance he'd get to reprise the role:
EA has been shitty nearly forever, even when every game started with "Its in the game!" You probably just didn't realize it because you were a kid, but they've been hacking out shitty games and shuttering great studios for decades. They were never a mark of quality, they were the mark on the games you could find in the bargain bin at Walmart.
They might be a laughing stock, but they absolutely print money with FIFA/EAFC. They can probably afford to not give a shit about anything else.

We need more headline energy like this and Rolling Stone calling out Kissenger
Finally, a reliable news source!
Needs to be immortalized among the likes of "Headless Body in Topless Bar"
THE MAXIS WILL WRIGHT AGAIN!!!
Ah yes because we need a million additional versions of the same game we already get every year.
The absolute state of games journalism
Epic gamer move
