What is going to happen to origin now? Will it actually become as strong as steam or will it be thrown away altogether? It has been around over two years and origin has not improved as much as steam within a year.
Yes my name is ironic.

I think this might be a step in the right direction, but frankly i find that hard to believe... And i also wish people would stop buying their games, the last one i spent money on was bf3 and the way they are planning to release the next one not even 2 years after i think is just shitting all over my parade, like im not valued as a customer :/

If his business practice made the board happy (max profit) they will reelect someone with the same practices. On top of that, for something as big as EA its really not all because of the CEO.

So dont get your hopes too high.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Nothings going to change in my opinion. They'll continue with there DRM shit, why? Because they can and they will until they actually stop profiting from sales. (Just my opinion)

The game will have been out for 2 years by the time this is released. BF4 hasn't even been officially announced and when it is I bet it doesn't come out till 2014.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Unfortunately he usually jumps out the plane with a golden parachute :/

Other than the leadership transition, is this it? There are quite a few strong franchises that the company has more or less managed to screw up a bit. On the other hand, FIFA apparently used to be god-awful but it made some tremendous improvements. At the moment a lot of things are plateauing and/or mucking around in mediocrity though. Wonder whether we'll see anything come of it.

SC2 being the only exception, I NEVER buy from EA nor Activision. People should just do the same. Play LoL, some SC2, and JRPGs, and you'll avoid those 2 shitty companies.
Dead game.

I think people are taking this too lightly. If you compare the EA right now to the Apple before Steve Jobs taking the CEO sit, EA is still much brighter. A good CEO could turn the company direction 180 degree and EA right now is holding rights to too much good game titles to be left to dead. I sincerely looking forward for a new hope to drive this company upward.
Im daed. Follow me @TL_NB

Here's a crazy idea, maybe "People" don't all want to play moba/rts? The companies have grown to where they are now because there's obviously a market for what they're selling (CoD, etc.) and that's not going to change in the near future.

If you love sports games it's very hard to avoid EA.
That's their main profit, too.

Can someone explain the "Huge" meme that people are getting banned for. I tried to google it (usually foolproof) but to no avail.

Not that I particularly care it's just no fun to feel left out of the internet.

I'm completely dumbfounded with the "HUGE" joke. People spot 4 guys banned for it on the first page, and thus thinks its a good idea to continue the trend? (even Kiwikaki? Really?)

edit: I just realized I'm helping the thread derail by not staying on topic myself: This wont change a thing. We can always hope, but I don't think EA will ever return to the gaming company we once loved. Instead its going to further spiral down the road of bad costumer service, always online drm, unfinished games, 24/7 crutch time, and generally bad practices until one day is hopefully gone. Altough the last bit might take a while because people keep paying 60 bucks a year for the same Fifa game.
