That's an amazing career.
- buy out charismatic succesful studio with a nice franchise - "EA" it so the next title in the franchise follows the tradition of solid EA disasters - fire everyone involved in doing what you told them
Just as CCP, but in a much larger scale.

Why would they? The public keep on propping them up by buying shitware like Sims 4, until it becomes unrpoftitble, and then EA can pull the plug, safe in the knowledge that they own the IP. What makes me laugh is that people believe that EA's corporate culture won't cause titles become shadows of their former installments as the accountants notice that the profit margins are slowly decreasing. The good news is that EA will eventually die. The current model of tipple AAA funding means that a point will be reached when a string of flops will sink a publisher. |

Don't hold your breath.
EA will continue to exist for a good while yet, because of the millions of uninformed, pre-ordering, dlc'ing scrubs. |

EA has such a long history of destroying everything they touch that you wonder why anyone would sell out to them anymore? Also, how can EA possibly still be in business? There must be a lot of people out there who love buying their sports games every year? |

EA-- A fine example of Mr. Gingerbreads who thought they could fool everybody all of the time. They join a long list of compadres who run run run, as fast as they can. But a fox or alligator is waiting at the end. Some quick examples: Detroit auto industry; AOL; Blockbuster Video. Dell Computers-- upcoming.

I'd guess their big money comes from the console games, Madden in particular.

I'd guess their big money comes from the console games, Madden in particular. They used to make a fair amount off of licensed products. In other words, you take the latest hit action movie (LOTR or whatever), plug the setting and characters into an existing game design, and work your dev project grunts around the clock. Get it on the shelf at Best Buy before everybody forgets about the movie and goes to the next one. It'll get bad reviews, but who cares. The theme and box cover will sell a good number of copies at 30-40 bucks. Repeat with the next action movie you can license.
