I would like to know what happened between EA and Nintendo. Obviously EA's games have sold incredibly poorly on the console (an unprecedented level of poor actually), but this is somewhat expected at the start of a consoles life cycle. The initial titles are more about developing a userbase for your franchises and if you make a profit then great.

Whilst it's quite possible (likely even) that EA's decision not to release any new games is purely down to a lack of revenue, there does appear to have been a rapid souring behind the scenes. Hopefully we get the full details of the breakdown; I doubt Nintendo is as blameless as some would believe.

I don't think his wording helped matters. Making generalisations such as "Nintendo fans on these forums..." isn't going to help matters, especially when refering to a fanbase from one of the big 3.

Still, the EA hate is getting unreasonably ridiculous and illogical.

EA hate is almost always unreasonably ridiculous and illogical.

With EA folk on Twitter ... http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=160213

Going crazy with personal attacks to Nintendo and so on... can it get any clearer how wrong you are?

I think EA titles sales on Wii U were directly proporcional to EA's effort towards them.

Rol's views reflect my decisionmaking on this in a nutshell.

Given how many occurences of game company's logic that doesn't necessarily involve sales and profitability as the main justification of certain decisions (or simply but, personal bias), what makes this case so hard to believe so that accusations of conspiracy fly out? Because business is always about sales and profitability, lol? This logic in many times defines EA and to lesser extend third parties in general. I knew for a fact EA has seized any publishing for Wii U back in March, likely worldwide, likely the decision was made even earlier, so these news don't surprise me at all. Nor any justification because of lackluster sales of EA titles could be made simply due to how unprecedented early in the Wii U lifecycle they've jumped off the platform entirely.

Sega's still a massive cast of shelll of their formerselves, destroyed creatively and financially by the 3rd party route.

Nintendo going 3rd party means nothing but Mario games for the rest of forever.  We ain't going to seeing stuff like Fire Emblem or anything like that.

A software eng made a personal comment about the Wii U - is he not entitled to a personal opinion? His voice does not represent EA and you quite clearly don't understand how business works. 

Also: 

Most companies have social-media policies in place. When an employee speaks then that can be taken as representative of a companies viewpoint and twitter comments are effectively PR. Even if it is his personal opinion, comments which could affect public perception of a company (which is quite clearly the case here) should be carefully controlled and vetted.

Unprofessional comments give a poor overall image of the company.
