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 once held the Jane’s Combat Simulations license, and from the early 90’s through 2000 made some really excellent combat related games. The Crown Jewels in the series were Jane’s F-15 and it’s successor Jane’s F/A-18. They, along with Microprose’s Falcon 4.0 were the finest and most realistic home flight simulators up to that point. Dubbed “study sims” F/A-18 was so detailed and so well done that the U.S. Navy used it as a procedural trainer. Jane’s Fleet Command is still available, I think on Steam, and is a very fun strategy game.
