When did that happen?

Dantes inferno. EA was called out because it was essentially a reskinned god of war.

Oh I heard about that game before but didn't know it was published by EA. Thought a smaller publisher handled it considering how poor its sales were.

Haven't played it though but it totally looks like God Of War with a different protagonist, but far inferior.
