EA:n toimitusjohtaja Andrew Wilson on ilmoittanut olevansa sitä mieltä, ettei EA:n maine pelialan suurena pahiksena ole ansaittu. Vastauksena tuli paljonkin kuraa aloittaen loot-laatikoista ja jatkuen aina studioiden Westwood, Visceral ja Pandemic sulkemiseen saakka.
Nyt sitten EA:n talouspäällikkö Blake Jörgensen on sanonut, että EA ansaitsisi enemmän ylistystä siitä, miten se on hoitanut hankkimiaan studioita. Asiasta raportoi VGC.
"That's probably where we might have had some questions. And actually, we've well exceeded that. And it's to the testament of an exceptional game development team that was able to produce the right assets, to produce the right marketing materials to help us drive this business and the teams working together.
"And you know what? I think we don't get enough credit for this, but EA is a bunch of people who really can work well together. And we do a great job of working with other parts of our company. And when we bring in acquisitions, we work well with them.
Pitäkäämme hiljainen hetki studioiden Visceral, Mythic, Bullfrog, Origin, Westwood, Danger Close, Phenomic, Black Box, Pandemic, PlayFish, NuFX, Victory Games, EA Salt Lake ja Maxisin muistolle.
