try to make sure your posts have something to do with the thread LOL.

Now back to EA if they operated out of any european country they would not be able to take advantage of staff like that - or they would be hiring more staff.

Still mots EA games are overhyped - a few good ones but i like ethical treatmetn of staff and tend to lean towards smaller outfits that have quality games

I personally began to flag all EA games as crap until stated otherwise. And when I say "stated otherwise", I mean after I tryied them personally.

The main reason of this is because EA have his most solid foundation on games who sells to the mass like EA Sports game which will always sell year after year even if they change nothing in the game at all, or big market hypes like The Sims with 100 plus 2 expantion packs and other milking cows.

Sometimes I feel like they only change their product very slightly every years on purpose, knowing full well that it will at worse sell enough to pay the staff who worked on it.

When was the last time I've opened an EA game package, installed the game (or fired up the console) and said "wow, that's sooo cool!"?

I don't remember. I'm not even sure I said that once.

I disagree Medal of Honour are the best war games I have ever played.

EDIT My dad works probably just as hard. There have been holidays we have missed, many late night phone calls from his company asking him to come into work cause some loser who isnt suited for the job doesn't know what he's doing. He worked constantly the week before christmas, where one night he just had to come home cause he was too tired, with his work unfinished and behind schedule. This happens everywhere.

With a publisher as large as EA, you can't really say all of their games suck or all of their games whatever.

They have so many subdivisions developing for them, it's almost as broad as saying something like everybody with blue eyes is good at math.

Yes, US laws are more geared to benefit the companies and their profits than the employees and their happiness.

I doubt that essay is all true, however. There are some obvious exagerrations.
