So, the recent news of the CEO of Electronic Arts stepping down has created some....contreversy. He steps down due to EA's short falls on the stock markets and in general money avenues. You can see or read his departure speech by simplying googling John Riccitielio, or CEO of EA. Im not going to go through it all just to paraphrase it, either to feed the trolls, or defend him.
Over at CTRL-ALT-DEL comic, a strip has gone up, lampooning the whole thing. Pretty funny I think. Going into the forums to see what people are saying is even funnier. One person makes a point about gamers being part of the problem, and getting flamed for it. I can only imagine that the thread will be full of butt-hurt gamers in a matter of no time.
Let me spare you the details, as most of them are idiots. Poster PixelOrange hits the nail on the head, by pointing out that EA is there to make money. After that....nothing but mounting idiocy.
I think the point I am coming too is; EA is a publicly traded company, and is in the business of making the shareholders money. They are too far removed from the fact that they should be making the gamers happy to see what is happening. I shake my head at the fact that vivendi universal (they own blizzrd) does the same thing, but no one goes after them for it.
People cry over day one DLC for games- but still buy it. WE are the solution to the problem.
/shakes head.
Sitting in Deagens channel on twitch.tv, reading all the butt hurt little gamers cry about EA and Origin.
Idiots.
