They ruin everything they touch.

DICE is shoving Origin down our throats. EA has a graveyard of actually good publishers that were the victims of hostile takeovers (including some of my favorite game makers of all time). They think they get to decide what console maker succeeds and who fails. They love DRM. Most of their games are mediocre and their sports monopoly is anti-competitive and unethical.

All in all, I don't like EA that much.

would you say they have ruined Criterion? they have made some amazing racers this gen, burnout paradise, nfs most wanted, nfs hot pursuit. Otherwise i mostly agree with you, much of what EA makes is nothing special

Now that you meantion it, Criterion has survived remarkably long. So did Maxis, though until that one succumbed.

Every rule has an exception I guess.
