I found this article to be eye-opening. My previous dislike for EA comes from reading all the anti-EA sentiment going around these forums in regards to how they've failed this community yet again by introducing new bugs with every patch, and how they reduced the power of some guns while increasing the power of others in order to make the gameplay more balanced and less realistic. However, after reading this article, I've found a new reason to dislike EA. Look at their employment policy and tactics in buying out other studios and completely killing their games in order to reach early releases, plus their lack of support for even the newest of games. Any company who considers profit and cost-cutting to be more important than their consumers and employees don't deserve any of these four things.
I have however one more comment directed at all users of this forum. In the future, don't blame poor programming and bugs on the employees (programmers and designers...) of EA, as, frankly, with those employment conditions (80hr weeks!) we're unbelievably lucky they're making games for us to enjoy at all!
What's your opinion?
