I... actually agree with pachter.

Hate EA all you want... in true buisness turns it's take 2 that are the assholes... and honsetly i'd be surpised if EA's management was worse then take 2's.

EA rushes their smaller developers... but they give their well established guys a lot of rope. I mean look at Will Wright.

 Wait ... what are you talking bout ... last I checked Take 2 was the one not releasing 1 game after the next year over year and pressuring their developers to finish a mediocre piece of crap in less than 365 days ...

 Look at BioShock a good 2 years ... GTA IV 3-4 years ... Mafia 2 ... I mean name something for EA that goes through that level of development ... and you tell me TTWO dont give their guys any rope ... freakin

 Their old management team made a few mistakes ... it takes a good 6 - 9 months to clean up the mistakes (blame the legal system for being a bit slow) ... and then an additional 6 - 9 months reinvigorate the business (restructing, acquistions, etc.)
