EA finds comedy in Activision CEO's jab

Brown points out how radically things have changed at the publisher in recent years, which claims to have put creative control back into the hands of development teams. He says whatever perception there is about EA -- both internal and external -- needs to evolve along with the company. A recent EA employment survey shows things are changing internally, but it's probably going to take a little longer for gamers to agree, especially with fears of how the "old EA" would more-likely-than-not screw up whatever franchises it would acquire in a Take-Two takeover.

If it's any consolation, I think Activision embodies the EA of 2004 than EA does today.
EA is starting to make some really cool games, and less money grabbing, well, for the most part (I'm looking at you, Battlefield: Bad Company).

I hope Madden is good this year. If not, no biggie! I'll just save another $60 just like last year!!!

Coming from the company that managed to drain the soul from the Guitar Hero series?

Honestly, I move on fast. Activision is a MUCH worse company than EA.

On the way? Buddy, in a world where Guitar Hero: Aerosmith exists Activision is way past the hump of evil.

EA is laughing because they're the ones doing the soul-sucking. Bwa ha ha ha haaaaaaa.

Neversoft is the only studio I can think of that they've run into the ground.
Beenox just does ports to PC. Raven puts out some good stuff. Luxoflux, Shaba, Treyarch, and Toys For Bob are worthless. Vicarious Visions does good stuff on handhelds. Bizarre and Infinity Ward are brilliant.

@Lijik
I agree with you 100%. Activision wants to bring the Guitar hero franchise to the ground.
Guitar hero mobile
Guitar hero on tour
Guitar hero Aerosmith
Guitar Hero IV
That's 4 guitar hero titles in one year!!! Talk about soul sucking!

they can laugh once they stop making sports game clones every year and actually use the studios they acquire to put out some fresh content, at least in a way that can some what compete with activision's monster line up.
