I read that and it's honestly comes off as it's a no big deal to them. Just an official statement and that's it. Where is the part where Peter Moore is dribbling with foam from the rage this award has caused them. I think I missed it.

like i said, they make up some nonsense PR statement and then its "good bye 'till next year". EA , or any other company in that list for that matter, gives a rats ass about whats said about them, AS LONG as the money keeps flowing in. |
Exactly. It has been proven time and time again that gamers are spineless little shits who are incapable of voting with their wallets and would eagerly pay for shitty games and retarded Day 1 dlc even if it meant the entire team of CEOs from EA would come down to their house and penetrated their anal cavities with medieval weaponry and an impressive assortment of bear traps.

Right, so now we go from "they didn't register this poll at all" to "oh they registered it but it's no big deal, really".
And we didn't need to see moore "dribbling with foam from the rage this award has caused", his pathetic LGBT-haters-are-behind-this excuse is even worse than that.

Apart from the fact most peeps are thoroughly bored with pointing out greedy corps such as banks and arms manufacturers are in fact greedy, electing Eyeeew Asshole as the most loathed corp around should remind us that what EA does is actually pretty similar to what a merchant (englandish) or investment (amerikan) bank gets up to.
That is; they tip money into a selected games developer investing in a particular game or series of games (hereinafter called IP or 'Intellectual Property) then lean heavily upon their 'partner' to get the IP into the format/shape/genre EA insists whilst gadding about the joint 'improving the marketing environment' that is chuckin payola to gamer mags, sites, youtube critics etc. EA are raising the level of expectation for a game many mugs derps and mercenary types have deemed to be 'gr8' before they fix their peepers on the alpha. At the same time friends of EA are encouraged to set about sledging or 'goin negative' on any contemporaneous game that the EA standover merchants may consider potential competition.
Is there anyone who would be truly surprised if EA were found to be sending creative talent insane by bullying and hectoring a writer/developer to churn out yet another 'safe' formulaic bunch of code rather than the more risky cutting edge bucket of code he/she had been dreaming of making when deciding to spend the next few years making a particular game?
Considering EA Gaming in the same filthy little cesspool that ordinary humans classify banks & arms merchants within, is a perfectly valid comparison.

EA Didn't Force Things Onto BioWare Games, Says Co-Founder
Given the publisher's track record in buying studios then seeing them fail, there's an understandable assumption that it's always EA's fault when a formerly successful studio falls on hard times.
And hey, in many cases, maybe it is.
But in the case of BioWare, the RPG powerhouse bought by EA in 2007 and which has hit a slight rough patch in recent months, one man says it doesn't apply. And that one man is BioWare co-founder (and champion beer connoisseur) Dr. Greg Zeschuk.
Speaking with GI.biz, he was asked whether "BioWare's games were ever made to conform to some homogenous EA standard with things like forced multiplayer, micro-transactions, smart phone spinoffs, etc.?"
To which he replied "No, I definitely reject it. And I can explain it too. The best analogy I use, in a positive way, is EA gives you enough rope to hang yourself."
What he means, at least in BioWare's experience, is that they found themselves with a lot more money and resources than they were used to. Left to their own devices, he says it's "something people [struggle with] when they join EA; they do too much or they do too little".
"We had complete creative control over a lot of it; some fans didn't like some of it and some of it was experimental, quite frankly."

"We had complete creative control over a lot of it"
- so , not about everything.
"...they do too much or they do too little".
you're not saying ?
----
this is a typical PR press release bullshit comment made up to please someone.
Its probably safe to assume, its all made up on the spot by someone other, with no actual ties to bioware lol.

However shit EA may be, Bioware's problems are all of their own making. Aside from the "every game has to have multiplayer" mandate, I don't doubt that Zeschuk spoke truthfully when he said EA game them freedom to do pretty much what they wanted. The reason the doctors sold out to EA in the first place is because they were on the same wavelength, i.e. both were striving to make the next COD-level megahit with 10s of millions of sales. Maybe EA accelerated the process with an injection of funds, allowing Bioware to go full retard sooner, but it would have happened eventually regardless.

Don't really agree with that. Greed may have been involved but launching a sequel to two very big and huge games that end the branching plot lines to more than 6 years of work in almost 2 years is insane.

It's the nature of the industry. All AAA game development strives towards pumping out a cash-cow every 12 months. Economically, it actually does make a lot of sense, assuming that the practice was sustainable. The problem is that it isn't sustainable except for a few, which is why so many devs & publishers end up in financial trouble. But once you are on that treadmill, ploughing blindly forward is really the only option. Slow down or try and get off and you are going to trip and fall.

I'm still pissed about Wtich Hunt and still not getting my closure to my Warden and Morrigan. I actually felt an attachment to a video game characters, that is quite rare for me. And DA2 had Hawke instead -_-
