Beyond the woke shit they do EA has been an anti-consumer dumpster fire for as long as I've been aware of them (about 12 years now). I was (and still am) a huge Sims 3 player, and there's all kinds of unethical shit they did with that over a decade ago even if it doesn't hold a candle to the shit they do now. They also destroyed the SimCity franchise by sabotaging SimCity 2013 and then scapegoating Maxis so they would have an excuse to destroy it. I played SimCity 4 which was decent, and SimCity 2000 was released before Maxis was bought out. For those of you who are older or have been following this stuff longer than I have, was EA ever a good company or have they been scamming their customers from the beginning?

I think so, but it's been a really long time now. And they've been at least a little sketchy even before that.
But there was a time where they were turning out some beloved classics. Battlefield 1942 was published by EA, for example.
And, just going off the wiki; Alice, Command & Conquer, Dead Space, Star Wars: Battlefront, and a lot of racing games and sports games back when they didn't suck as hard.
