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?

EA published some amazing games back in the day from companies like Bullfrog. The early 90s EA sports like Madden and NHL were amazing. But even then, I'm sure they still had their share of corporate shenanigans.
Everyone here seems to be reminiscing about newer EA, so in case you aren't familiar with Bullfrog, check out their list of epic games.

The last syndicate wars mission was so epic with two squads full of chem-jacked super-agents doing plasma cannon drivebys from flying cars.
Another old guy with excellent taste. 👌
