Yeah EA is just a publisher, they don't make the games, generally speaking.
Just because EA owns the developer doesn't mean EA is completely responsible for the content. Ownership alone doesn't give them the praise of criticism the game itself has; that goes straight to the people that actually made the game. I don't thank Microsoft for Halo 3's multiplayer, or loathe them for Perfect Dark Zero. It's the responsibility of the studio behind the game to make it worthwhile, even if they're owned by a big-name company that's publishing the title.
Some studios, like Visceral and Sims, are located at EA world headquarters and are very much a part of EA.Maxis and Bioware have their own identity and think of themselves as a unique entity, but they think that within the framework of being part of the greater entity that is EA.
Yeah so I'm pretty
I'm a fat-***
Doesn't Maxis make Sims?
Is Java ever used for anything?Any languages which are a must-know for developers?
What the hell happened to 2D games?
