EA Robot #1: Here is your salary. Now, if you could proceed immediately to augmentation lab A-25 to receive your cybernetic implants. Don’t worry human, these enhancements will allow you to work carefree without having to worry about idiotic human gaming desires such as gameplay and innovation. By the way, your new designation is EA Robot #1034, should you ever forget this, don’t worry, you can simply use your soon to be attached barcode reader to scan the soon to be tattooed barcode on your forehead.

ahem….anyway. Idora, EA have the power and the money to create innovative titles. They don’t. Who does? The small, struggling developers.
Some say they EA don’t have to produce innovative titles, they are doing well enough as it is. But Leonardo Da Vinci didn’t have to create the Mona Lisa, or The Last Supper…..he could have done quite well for himself by simply being an interior decorator in Milan. ;)
EA will never be remembered for being innovative, creative developers. Thats fine, if they want that. But what I don’t agree with is them trying to push this idea on everyone by buying out talented developers and chewing them up into their corporate machine.
