[quote name='thingsfallnapart']Jealous that EA is dominating gaming? Yes, they have mastered the gaming format. You are I might like them, but we are nothing next to the millions of people who swallow EA games up like crack.
Everywhere i go i see people buying madden, or marvel nemesis, no matter how much each suck. So EA must be doing SOMETHING rite?[/QUOTE]
where to start......I could just say "if you have to ask, you'll never know" but I'm bored as shit right now, so here's the lesson:
1. Brak's right, I'm not a game publisher and I don't pledge allegiance to any of them. I buy the games and systems that put out stuff that I like. If my favorite devs started working for EA and the quality of their games remained the same, I'd still buy their games.
2. No they have not mastered the "gaming format."
here's a question: Has Brittany Spears "mastered" music? Has Fox "mastered" news? Has McDonalds "mastered" food?
3. They've been putting out mass produced, rehashed crap that appeals to a huge audience and is guaranteed success, no matter what, as long as they don't take any huge chances. that's what they do right. It works, why change it. And that's why Spielberg and EA will make a great team. Together they can "master" the superficial tastes of the mainstream audience with tired cliches, tired appeals to emotions, tired ideas in general that don't contribute anything productive to the art of gaming :lol:
