About Me

edit

Some call me Volomon, some call me Elite Destroyer of Worlds, some call me Superman, and even still some call me for a midnight voracious ravaging ala m�nage � trois.

Through all the naming of me Volomon, I yet stick to the modest identity as a PS3 fan.

Don't forget to play with girls or you'll turn queer, if your balls don't turn blue and explode first.

If your a girl, don't forget to check your mammaries for cancer with a firm shake and squeeze.

What does EA'd mean?
Volomon \| 6:20 PM on 10.06.2007	7 comments

EA'd: To be retarded or delayed in any process.

People ask how did EA fall so far as to be used as a derogatory term. First off they have been going through the industry for years destroying development studios left and right. My favorite, Bullfrog (Peter Molyneux), which featured a list of games that are the very definition of creative. Creativity is something that EA so fondly hates as the ability to predict sales can be hard and risky. Instead taking the easy path such as using the NFL license to churn out cookie cutter repeats of what is now one redundant pathetic visage of the former football days. Whats worse is they don't even bother producing the product on equal terms for all consoles. "Why bother to put in equal amount of money, when we're not going to get an equal amount of sales?" they ask, maybe cause it drags your name through the mud. Even Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson agrees by telling investors "poor reviews and quality are beginning to tarnish the EA brand."

So when ever you see a game delayed due to the unskilled programing of EA.

Whenever you get a product and it gets poorly patched or even gets no patch.

Whenever you see redundant repetitive play, thats uncreative, and poorly made:

Rock Band not up your street? How bout Crysis? Skate? Orange Box? Bad Company? Army Of Two? Fight Night? Granted, EA are far from perfect but sweeping statements like this post neglect to mention the other side of the coin. Your argument would be more convincing if you took all the good stuff they have produced this year into account.

Volomon

All the good games that you mention are not developed by EA and are done by independent developers that have yet to be bought.

Tino

Every EA game I play on my ps3 it runs like shit compared to the 360 version. It's really making me angry.

wardrox

"unskilled programing of EA."? The programming isn't the issues, the management are. There just generic, corporate grey matter, pushing people as far as they can without a pay rise.

EvilSmeevil

EA is primarily a publisher. Hence they do not develp the majority of their games.

Volomon

So, if a publisher is big enough, they can make crap and its ok. Is that what your trying to say?

Also I thought a development studio,
* EA Mobile India, Hyderabad.
* Criterion Software in Guildford, United Kingdom
* Digital Illusions CE in Stockholm, Sweden
* EA Black Box in Vancouver, British Columbia
* EA Canada in Burnaby, British Columbia
* EA China in Shanghai, China
* EA Los Angeles in Los Angeles, California
* EA Chicago in Chicago, Illinois
* EA Mobile
* EA Montreal
* EA Casual Entertainment
* EA Mythic in Fairfax, Virginia
* EA Korea in Seoul, South Korea
* EA Byrnest in Mount Sinai, New York
* EA Redwood Shores in Redwood City, California
* EA Singapore [1]
* EA UK in Chertsey, United Kingdom
* Maxis in Emeryville, California
* EA Phenomic in Ingelheim, Germany
* EA Tiburon in Maitland, Florida
* EA Salt Lake in Bountiful, Utah (Formerly Headgate Studios)
* EISM (European Integration Studio Madrid) in Madrid, Spain
* EA UK Guildford, Surrey
* EA Mobile Romania Bucharest
list that long was pretty significant. What even weirder is I don't distinguish between publisher or developer in my post, one there both part of the same company. The left arm can kill and the right arm is ok because it doesn't? Their both part of the same body.

EA....stay close.
