EA conquers 2012 as UK's No.1 publisher

So you like Oblivion and Skyrim, yet EA never has anything new or evolutionary. My case is closed. Its obvious that we two have entirely different views of what is a quality title, and towards what gaming as a medium should evolve.

Seeing the new Generals it will probably be a good game, while TW fades in obscurity. lets be honest, since Rome they didnt release anything noteworthy ( at least none of them managed to keep me hooked to my PC for over 2 months in a row). Maybe Rome 2 will be decent, who know... You see, its called taste, and everybody has one.For example, you might not like the idea, but FIFA is hands down the best sports simulator, and proof that yearly releases are doing well, if managed correctly. You dont like it, thats one think, but critics are eating it up and praising it, even in the US, where soccer is still an infant sport.

And in the case of EA. Its too big, it would be a massive job void if it would fall, but for you, getting a niche, old IP out of the clutches of evil seems to be more important than the job of 10k people. Good for you kid, they raised you well

Trust me, It'll bomb hard. Just like C&C4 and SW:TOR.

What does the games I like have to do with EA never innovating on their own?

Also, what I said was that it would be better for everyone in the long run if there was no EA. No more talented companies would get bought, eventualy ruined, and layed off (you know, what causes people to lose their jobs) because of EA's avarice. That void wouldn't last forever and when something eventually filled it in, gaming would be better.

We have different views indeed. You seem to think that hostile takeovers and mismanagement, fans losing their favourite series, etc is how gaming should evolve. I don't.
