Even their non sports games are terrible. Army Of Two had so much potential yet failed miserably.

EA on Linux... I don't know if it's a good or a bad thing :\ I'm going to avoid anything related to them as much as I can. Mostly for their draconian DRM, incomplete games, fake DLCs, reported customer service and working conditions.
It's amazing how long EA runs for... Hawkins' other company, 3DO, went belly up a while ago when they started rushing for gold. Of course, EA had the upper hand of being able to buy out other companies, which definitely helps. But even then, I doubt they will be able to continue like this for that long.

What EA has got to do if they want to be effective in the Linux space is try to earn the trust of the community (I would suggest they begin by giving up on this draconian DRM thing they've got going on), and If they can't do that, I believe it's likely they'll fail.

Originally posted by Kivada View PostEA survives by their complete ownership of licensing rights to all major sports leagues, at least in the US, NFL, NBA, MLB, FIFA, NCAA are all only licensed to them to force out all other companies from making sports games with actual teams and players, which is what most people want, not completely made up teams and players. They then release these games yearly on every platform at $50-70 per platform per year, online play is killed every year as well. You liked playing Madden 2011 online? Too bad, Madden 2012 is out and 2011 can no longer connect to the server...
