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?

Oh that's a good call. I use my Steamdeck mostly for emulation, I might get a copy of the Strike games and Future Cop LAPD for the PSX emu (I originally didn't like Future Cop when it first released, but I, too, have been replaying a ton of older games and revisiting my impressions on them, so I might enjoy it this time around after I finish Oni).
And it's also funny because I used to have a love/hate relationship with FMV back in the day (loved how it featured real people but didn't really like the grainy look), but I really appreciate it a lot more now than before due to how soulless and uninspired a lot of cinematics are these days. It's one of the reasons I've really enjoyed Ross' Game Dungeon as he plays plenty classic games that really made a mark back in the 1990s with the grainy yet inviting FMV sequencing. It really gives me a great sense of nostalgia.
