Could anybody translate "lack of business drive" from business English to regular English?

EA's still sad and butthurt that Nintendo didn't pay them to use Origin as the basis for Wii U's online.


Companies don't get "butthurt". It's not as if this is the only multiplatform not to be coming to the Wii U. 

Read some of KungKras' posts. EA has a history of bullying and generally being a bunch of brats.

Is this the only multiplatform not to be ported to the Wii U? No, therefore why are people trying to dismiss this as EA having an attitude problem which is rediculous for a company of such a size which has stockholders. 
Companies may try to influence other companies decisions, but companies are not a bunch of schoolyard bullies looking to ruin another persons day for the hell of it. 

Because a lot of Western third parties are as short-sighted as infants, as proven by their delightful financial track records. Companies like Take Two and EA are either malicious, incompetent, or a healthy mixture of both. Certainly not smart or successful businesses.

I dont see how a company (companies) that created GTA, Madden, the sims (what 120 million+ sold) are not smart or successful companies.  I hope the ban continues because I continually say that its people like you that make it so easy for them to do it.  While you complain about their lack of business success, I will be enjoying Grand theft auto 5.

It's rather easy to see actually. The devs make the good games, while the business suits make the poor business desicions. Also, if you look at many big businesses, many are ran into the gound by their CEOs who despite that demand massive bonuses, even though they fucked up their company. Just look at commodore with the Amiga ("We made the Amiga, they fucked it up"), or that Twinkies company whatever it was called.

The argument that companies always act rationally and/or optimally just doesn't hold up, it never did.



I LOVE ICELAND!
