I don't really care what EA does with support for Nintendo, but I will say that this "gen 3" and "gen 4" talk from them is driving me fucking insane. It'd be like if I started counting grade school from grade 4, so my idea of "3rd graders" were actually 6th graders. It just doesn't work like that and it's retarded.

its just something they use internally. it states the 3D generations. so PS1 and n64 are gen 1 and so on. its not a big deal

It's not "just something they use internally" when they constantly push it in public statements. And it is a big deal, because it is blatantly ignoring older generations of video games. We shouldn't track our generations in multiple forms. When someone says they're in 7th grade, everyone should be able to understand what they're saying. We are not in the 8th generation AND 4th generation at the same time. EA needs to stop muddying our industry with their "generation" ideas.
