EA are an innovation destroying disease and the fewer people that buy their crap the better.

As long as they have EA Sports though (even if it is the same tired old Tiger Woods game with slightly different button mashing techniques every time), they will likely remain mainstream.

Really not a fan of them after their ruthless buyout and destruction of Air Warrior, Ultima Online 2, Earth & Beyond etc etc etc. If they were half honest it wouldn't be so bad, but they always come at the companies with the usual "We support small innovative companies so we'll let you keep your company structure and culture and let you continue developing your game, just with extra financial support from us" routine before revealing that they lied and their only intention is to shut them down. Really annoys me.
