I mean, EA has sucked for a very long time. They bought a bunch of game studios back in the day, gutted them, and shut them down, including Origin, the studio responsible for the Ultima series, whose name EA then used for their Steam wannabe. And they ended the era of competing sports franchises by convincing multiple leagues to give them exclusive licenses.

I'm still pissed that they bought and shut down Westwood Studios.

That developer gave National Treasure Tim Curry the best line reading in history, and EA took away any chance he'd get to reprise the role:

That grunting before "SPACE" is basically him barely able to keep his laughter.
