EA: "There isn't much room for other titles than 1st party on Switch"

Why does EA like leaving money on the table? Their investors can't be happy with that. I've found myself buying a lot more Ubisoft games lately, just because they are available on Nintendo consoles. The last EA game I bought was Mass Effect. This was just last year, 2019, on Steam for $4.99 on sale. Before that? Either Boom Blox or Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. Either of those would have been roughly 2009. A fucking decade between purchases. I count 5 EA games I bought for the GameCube alone. I guess if they don't want me as a customer anymore, that is their business.

By the way, I do play Simpsons Tapped Out on mobile. I have spent exactly $0.00 on that game.

I think EA used to do well on the casual game scene. It might have one day been a major AAA scale pillar. They had some interesting stuff going on with Sims and SinCity, I used to play Tapped Out too, though it took a massive shit in quality a couple years ago, luckily it happened pretty much the same time Fire Emblem Heroes released so I had something else to move onto. Although, IMO, FEH has also taken a shit in quality in the last year or so, and I still have yet to find a game to replace it, so I play more from habit now than fun.

I used to like my casual games. But there’s not been anything super interesting lately.

I’m shocked they haven’t done any major SPORE or Ultima stuff. I think having a casual MMO where players build creatures and watch their success in the galaxy would be an incredibly compelling game.
