This doesn't matter. EA is going to continue making a shitload of money because people are going to continue buying their stuff.
EA isn't just a publisher, they own many of the studios behind the games they sell. [IE. DICE]Originally Posted by NielsS
WTF! They are a shitty publisher. They don't MAKE games, they just turn them into fucking cash-cow's and fool the console gamers into buying all their crap.
Even the ones they don't own still have to do what EA says because they are the ones holding the purse strings. [IE Crytek]
Something nice on DLCs
Something that I found interesting was EA's move on FIFA12 DLC. They (as of today) are releasing the Euro 2012 event (kits/teams/commentary/gui/modes/all stadiums) via half price DLC 15.99 euros with new modes and integrating it into Fifa12 engine (which from what I have seen is now as good as it should have been), instead of releasing a whole game based on the Euro tournament (the cashcow usual move).
Im no mass fan or anything, although it seemed to be a little more appetising than a usual cashcow based on the cartoon above. Mind you thats only one game out of many.
The politics/affiliations and so on with EA's borderline corporate religion is another "ball game" pun intended

That sounds like an expasion sold as DLC, I´m ok with that. All DLCs should be like this.Something that I found interesting was EA's move on FIFA12 DLC.

Well, seems its all still the same EA standard check this thread for the Fifa Euro DLC and read on:
http://forum.ea.com/uk1/posts/lists/1633929.page
Seems that its got allot of modes and game-play parts missing, its as if they have seen a DLC as a reason to not have modes from the main game spillover into the DLC, oh dear. I will now back peddle my previous comments
Seems they have taken DLC to its limit, looks like it may have been worth doing the cash cow version of a single game release for Euro2012 based on what they didnt have for the DLC version.
