Electronic Arts Pretty Much Lacks Exciting Anything Strategy
Reuse of the same old properties, yearly sequels, one original game per year (good years)
EA's most exciting strategies are from former EA employees; which EA can't seem to learn from.
I would really like to see something somewhere, anything anywhere, to suggest to me that EA isn't going to be a dark stain for Linux. I'd settle for them doing anything original and cool for Windows, just to show there's some sort of non-evil (doesn't have to be good even) influence having some positive effect on this ginormous soulless entity.

Originally posted by zerothis View PostEA is sustainable like the Mongolian Empire, just keep conquering other successful people. Eventually the strains of organizing such a large monstrosity will lead to divisions between leading individuals who will start their own companies and hire away EA's people from the conquered companies. Its starting to happen on a small scale already; one, two, or three people at a time leaving with one or two original ideas as good as World of Goo. But pretty soon they'll start losing things as big as their Tolkien licenses and hundreds of people who want to follow it.
EA doesn't innovate, but as long as their titles sell, they don't have to.

Well EA's going to lose out once Valve gets it all together and releases at least one of their AAA franchises as a native Linux game, and if sometime thereafter Blizzard follows suit with their titles.
Interesting times eh?
