It turns out Saudi Arabia will own 93.4 percent of EA if the buyout goes through, which is effectively all of it (www.pcgamer.com)

It's going to be such a hack job with this takeover.

Its shockingly sad how what EA was back in the early 90s to what it is now.

    Try the early '80s. They were the first company to put their developers front and centre with pictures and names.

    early 2000s EA was also on the horse. It used to be that when you hear "EA Games, challenge everything" upon opening a game, you knew that you are up for a good time. By the end of 00s that would drastically change

    They always butchered games. What you're remembering are the games made by studios that EA purchased, made before they were gutted for IP.

    I could have sworn this one early mech game was made by EA (early/ mid 90s) Ultrabots in NA. Nope they just published it. I had a ton of fun with it but guess they mostly produced even if they owned the studio. Unsure in that case but we know how EA works. So appreciate you making me check that cause in my head they made some grear games I played not just published them. I'm sure their earlier days they must have but didn't look.
