If you mean EA ad in Electronic Arts (The game company) then:

= Epicness (:D All my favourite games are made by them)

Well, about 90%

Oh yeah, and they made sims, Burnout, i think they helped in FIFA games? Idk, they also made NFS games.

"and they made sims, Burnout, i think they helped in FIFA games?"

They didn't make sims.

Maxis did, but EA (pretty much) enslaved Maxis and sucked out Maxis's money.

"helped in FIFA games"

No, they published it. And did the same thing as they did to maxis.

" Idk, they also made NFS games."

Same as above.

"= Epicness (:D All my favourite games are made by them)
Well, about 90%"

They don't make games. They publish them, enslave the development team, take all their money and steal all the credit.

@Cross, well then, at least they helped in those games, and if they "Enslaved" these game companies than why would they make them if they weren't willing? If they were actually forced they would be arrested.

Besides, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, don't be one of those annoying people who are like "I'm right, everybody is wrong"

Besides, at least they helped those games get published.

Battlefield was made by Frostbite/Frostbite Two.
EA took most of the credit, screwed up alot of the multiplayer internet/factions, and thats about it.

I saw something about a game pass or something with EA on my PS3, can't remember what game though >.<

"Besides, at least they helped those games get published."

No, they didn't "help", they just got the game sold and took most of the money and stole all the credit. That's not helpful at all.

"and if they "Enslaved" these game companies than why would they make them if they weren't willing?"

by "Enslaved", I mean, EA dictates what games they make, how they make them, and how long working hours are. It's not uncommon to see people working day and night for a crappy game that EA'll take most of the money for.

"than why would they make them if they weren't willing?"

Because many of them are told that if they leave they're not going to get a job in the games industry again. And, if they do leave, they are usually left off the credits.

And they also tend to have a contract that legally binds them to not leave.

"If they were actually forced they would be arrested."

They weren't "forced", "enslaved" was a figure of speach.

"Besides, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, don't be one of those annoying people who are like "I'm right, everybody is wrong""

I'm not. You are.

Ok read it.

I never said your views on EA or opinions were wrong.

When did I say that?

Also, have you got any proof of this? Apart from your own statements?

:/ Kinda bored now, I'd play PC games if they didn't lag so much on this laptop :S

No.

DICE made the Battlefield franchise.

And no, I'n not saying "DICE" in capitals for emphasise, I'm saying it that way because their company name is in capitals.
The first games, "Battlefield", "Battlefield: Bad Company", "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" and "Battlefield 2" all run on the Frostbite engine, which is a physics and graphics engine, again, made by DICE.

"EA took most of the credit, screwed up alot of the multiplayer internet/factions, and thats about it. "

But wait, their's more!

Because DICE signed a contract with EA, DICE now has to be part of EA.

Which means, EA gets most of that DICE should be making, but because EA published it and the contract, EA gets most of it.

Wow, if some game companies let EA push them around then just.....Wow.

I would've quit or left and got another game publisher.

And if EA don't make games themselves then that means they won't have an extra games, and who believes somebody else if they tell you nobody else will publish their games? Just wow.

Besides, those developers at least got some money, right?

I never said you did.

"Also, have you got any proof of this? Apart from your own statements?"

v=e-LE0ycgkBQ- "EA in a nutshell"

v=Mh3FN3YCwYk- "An open letter to EA"- by game lecturers; all of which work in the industry.

Look for a video by ExtraCreditz called "Crunch time", I can't find it exactly but it proves my point.

":/ Kinda bored now, I'd play PC games if they didn't lag so much on this laptop :S"

OT is not twitter.

"Wow, if some game companies let EA push them around then just.....Wow."

They don't.

Because, they start of thinking it will be good for the development team in the long term, they sign a contract with them, and then it starts getting bad.

They are legally binded- that means their company will be destroyed and the employees fired, and sued, for breaking their contract.

"I would've quit or left and got another game publisher."

Again, back to contract, once you've made a contract with EA, you're stuck with them by contract.

"And if EA don't make games themselves then that means they won't have an extra games, and who believes somebody else if they tell you nobody else will publish their games? Just wow."

"And who believes somebody else if they tell you nobody else will publish their games? Just wow.

No.

They are legally binded by contract that they're not allowed to work with any other publisher.

Of course they could have been with a different publisher to start with, but for whatever reason they thought it was best to work with EA.

"And if EA don't make games themselves then that means they won't have an extra games"

They don't have "extra games".

"Besides, those developers at least got some money, right?"

Keyword here: SOME money. Minimum wage. But usually EA takes most of it.

@Shadetastic

But alas, they're binded by Activision-

Which does closely the same thing as EA, but not as bad. Like, 60% less bad.

I know that they are enslaved by Activision, but as you pointed out, it isn't as bad as EA. Also, they make quality games, bar CoD. That's why I like them.

That's where you said my opinions are wrong.

Ok, you have given me proof :l

Still doesn't change my opinion

"OT is not Twitter"

I don't even have twitter. I simply post random things like that sometimes. Simply because I want to. Like now I'm using short sentences. Because I don't want to type out long ones.

But you said that you never said my opinions were wrong, but when I fire the insult right back at you, you're telling me that I'm doing what you said you're not?

This is the textbook definition of hypocrisy.

I never said you did have twitter, but what I did say, was that you should stop treating OT like it's twitter- If you want to share your totally irrelevant life story, twitter is the place. But OT is not.

"Ok, you have given me proof :l

I never tried to change your opinion. I wanted to show you the bitter facts. If you want more, sure, I got a butt ton more if you want to see it.
