EA

EA, also known as Electronic Arts, is a video game company infamous for ruining some of the most beloved franchises in gaming history.

Founded in 1982, EA quickly gained popularity with hits like Madden NFL and The Sims. However, as they grew in size and power, they began to acquire other companies and franchises, leading to a string of disastrous decisions.

One of EA’s most egregious offenses was their handling of the beloved Star Wars franchise. Despite having access to one of the most passionate fanbases in gaming, they managed to release multiple underwhelming games and microtransaction-filled disasters. It’s almost as if they forgot “May the Force be with you,” and instead chose “May the microtransactions be with us.”

Even the simplest of games couldn’t escape EA’s destructive touch. In 2013, they released SimCity, a game that should have been a slam dunk. Instead, they managed to make a game about building cities unplayable due to always-online requirements and terrible AI.

EA’s reputation is so bad that when they unveil a new game, most gamers have already resigned themselves to disappointment before the game even hits store shelves. It’s almost like EA stands for “Expect Awful,” which is a handy mnemonic device to remember their consistent lack of quality.

In conclusion, EA is a company that started out strong but then quickly spiraled into a pit of corporate greed and destroyed franchises. They may have the word “Electronic” in their name, but they’ve managed to take the joy out of gaming and replace it with frustration and disappointment.

So, if you’re ever considering buying an EA game, just ask yourself, “Do I really want to waste my hard-earned money on something that will only leave me feeling dead inside?” The answer is no.
