I don't understand why people think EA is evil. What do they do that people say they're a bad company? Plus, I just read an article about Kotick bashing EA. So someone, tell me about EA's evilness.

They eat babies.

EA were the bad guys until Activision got massive.

" EA were the bad guys until Activision got massive. "

Iniquity passes through many companies; was EA, now Activision... and still Activision. One could complain with the monopoly EA has on the Madden series... 

EA was the big baddie before Activision, it's a cycle, don't worry about it, people will get pissy.

Those were the good days... I think. "

" @HandsomeDead: Yeah I know that.  
@therepublicanguy: So people don't like them for throwing out Madden each year? "

I read up on that story also. If anyone wants to check it out, here it is:

It's actually about an article that is about to be released in EDGE magazine, but Shack News tells the gist of it.

I'm not saying its better or worse,my wish is to not throw  Activision under the bus for all the egregious business propositions. The only offense I have towards EA is the monopoly on the Madden franchise; I cannot believe that has not been overturned by a court of law. With Dead Space, ME2, and Dragon Age under their helm, I cannot complain at all.

EA is still as evil as they were before, but Activision surpassed them a few years ago. At least EA is willing to try something different from time to time.

So many people here fail to realize how much more evil/ruthless other companies outside of the video game industry are. Nothing EA does is relatively bad in the grand scheme of things.
