That still is at least one top brass guy since then, so why is the mood still there? 

What games would you have EA bring to Switch?

Their business approaches aren't very compatible.

I'm beginning to think we have some EA employee on our hands.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I'm honestly more annoyed they aren't bringing their old games, I want pretty much nothing that they do nowadays. I guess old games are more difficult to monetize according to EA's standards...



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Why did the scorpion stung the frog?

Because it didn't pay enough microtransactions, duh.

I don't know, has the frog done something?

All the frog did was to carry the scorpion across the river because it asked the frog to do so.

Isn't it more logical to assume that their games just don't sell enough on Nintendo consoles to be worth the extra time, effort and money that's required to port them?

Based on what exactly?

IIRC, EA have a policy that all their games are required to use the Frostbite engine if it's at all possible. Frostbite wasn't compatible with the Wii U at all, and supposedly can run on the Switch, but with really poor performance, hence why they've been using a PS3/360-era to create FIFA games on the Switch instead of just taking the current-gen version and reducing the graphics settings.
