G-pinions

Ah, remember last year when Nick used to post that Electronic Arts was not an evil company? That the few good games they made in a given year more than balanced out all the crap they churned out and the companies they devoured? Clearly, Nick was not a forward thinking man. While a year ago there could be some argument, somewhere, defending EA's many ills, in the past year they have simply turned into one of the most feared companies in the entire world. It seems that hardly a day can go by without some horrible new bit of information as EA attempts to completely destroy gaming as we know it.

Are you curious what they did today? After securing exclusive rights to the NFL back in February and exclusive rights to the Arena Football League only a few weeks later, EA has now gone after the only other legitimate football organization in America - college football. Starting this year, Electronic Arts will be the only company allowed to make football titles using the players and teams from the NCAA. This means that any hope of seeing a licensed football game from a competitor is now completely gone.

Defend away EA lovers. Tell me why it is ok for anyway to give money to this destroyer of worlds. Every cent they can suck from the souless beings who call themselves gamers will be used to consume another beloved license or developer. The only question remains - when will the casual gamer start standing up to this Luciferian behemoth? Because if they continue to blindly follow Electronic Arts, it is only a matter of time before the Penny Arcade nightmare of one all-encompassing "EA Game 200X" becomes a reality.
