We would still have seen Dragon Age: Origins and ME1 since BioWare was bought during the last year of DAO's dev cycle, iirc.

Wasn't ME already out there like was Jade Empire, KOTOR,Shattered Steel,Baldur's Gate,Neverwinter Nights. think they were doing ok without EA

I like EA too.

The majority of the games that take up my time year and year again are EA games.

Some games turn out to be average sometimes but that does not mean the entire publisher's gone berserk.

DA2 was average and the entire community went berserk lmao.

Without EA there wouldnt be ME, Dragon Age, Battlefield as it is today (which is my most played game till today), Crysis, pushing state of the art graphics everywhere, and a whole lotta other IP's hell anyone who plays fifa will be buying it for the next 10 yrs lol. Also show me another boxing game as engaging as Fight night?

Ppl can hate all they want but they know they've played some dam fine games coz of EA and the talented dev's under EA. It is not easy to manage a comp like EA and to channell resources to every game, new ip's , new engines etc take risks and do all it does year after year is pretty daunting.

Im not a fan of any company or whatever but I just assessed what games did I love a lot in the past five years and majority were EA titles for me.

Dont think many publishers risk making games like Crysis 3, NFS the run (lol this was a huge risk in my head), Kingdoms of Amalur, SWTOR and lots more.

just wiki how many games EA have made and you'll be shocked. So yea anyone hating on EA well hate on it if you want. I grew up playing EA for the past 15 yrs so Im not too worried.

If EA gets THQ then well atleast they will get the funding they need to promote the game and maybe more. Well im not the best judge and everyone here who hates on EA has come from a long line of assumptions based on other assumptions. I for one see for what it is. I had fun with their games. nuff said
