What happened to Popcap after EA got them sucks but it was also the only route they could have gone so it's hard to get that mad at EA over that one. Like Popcap were making mobile style games you had to pay and it's really hard to get people to pay for those style of games these days, even if they're really good. Their games would have gone F2P without EA.

Cowcaster posted:i also had no idea that EA bought popcap, the company poised to be Zynga before there was a Zynga, and ate it like saturn devouring his son “We picked EA because they have recast their culture around making great digital games,” said David Roberts, CEO of PopCap. “By working with EA, we'll scale our games and services to deliver more social, mobile, casual fun to an even bigger, global audience.” -- "Our new EA partnership is already proving to be both positive and productive," said Mr. Resnick [President of Pandemic Studios]. "Pandemic Studios prides itself upon its creative independence while being the best place for top industry talent to work. These values continue to be upheld by all levels of EA and we couldn't be more excited about the future of our studio and our games." -- "While it wasn’t necessary, going with EA made a lot of sense. With Titanfall and Star Wars, EA has been a great development partner that supports us and doesn’t interfere with our process for making games or studio culture. EA will provide us with more resources, access to new technologies, and expertise that we can tap into to that will help us make better games, and Respawn will retain the same creative freedom and culture we’ve always had. We’ve been talking closely with the leadership at EA and we share their values and vision for the future of being a developer-focused company that puts the players first." - Vince Zampella Hmm.... Help Im Alive posted:If I bought Popcap I guess I would say 'make more peggle/bejeweled/that bookworm game' but what do I know The issue with Popcap is that they didn't adapt to trends in the casual gaming segment. Most notably, developers were putting a fewer amount of casual games on mobile devices, using F2P monetization, and supporting them with deeper gameplay. Popcap had a scattershot approach that failed to get traction against genre leaders.

EA's modus operandi has been to suppress labor consciousness and thus labor costs as much as possible, and extract their profits from those margins whenever they can. This was already clear years back with EA_Spouse, among other things. When they work with independent studios, from their perspective they are working with laborers who believe in an illusory notion of independence and agency. By acquiring those studios, they can decapitate any leadership on the development side (who also harbor the illusion of creative independence) and create fear for job security among the workers. When they shutter a studio, yes, part of the labor force disperses, but they can easily rehire and repurpose many of those workers, who no longer have an identity under a unique studio name, and who can be transplanted to any of the dozens of "EA ______" studios to perform interchangeable labor. This also may involve these workers moving across the country, which they will do because of fear of being pushed out of the job market entirely, and which makes them even more atomized as laborers and more easily controlled by management. This is also why EA is one of the biggest proponents of setting up film school-style programs for game development at universities -- it allows them to flood the job market with a bunch of young people who pay for their own training and who in aggregate create even more pressure on current workers to accept worse conditions and worse pay, lest they be replaced by someone who is willing to work for a fraction of the salary

Really forces you to not be a gently caress up. Shooters really don't try to do this anymore, and it's a drat shame. Red Dead is a Game of the Generation, so get the bundle.

Deus Ex / Majora’s Mask. I’d put Fallout New Vegas in one of the slots if the engine wasn’t a disaster.
