| RolStoppable said: Dead Space Extraction was also a good way for EA to shut up investors who must have been questioning why EA didn't support the Wii with proper games despite posting losses after losses with their current strategy of shunning the Nintendo console. By making a game that was set up for failure (announce a proper Dead Space, then make it known it will just be a spinoff) and publicly stating that it was a test (to make sure investors take notice), EA had the perfect example to prove that their strategy was right all along. Think about it: When DSE was going into production, Wii owners were saying since a year that they wanted a follow up to Resident Evil 4 and not more lightgun games. EA delivered exactly what people didn't want. Anyone with a brain would have told you that a proper Dead Space had a better chance at selling than a lightgun shooter, so why make the latter? Because EA wanted the game to fail. The timeline of NBA Jam is awfully similar. |
Ah yes and they tracked every Wii owner who bought it with a black choppers with silenced rotors:
