You are buying something that has moving parts or electricity going to it so it has the potential of breaking, there is nothing you can do but replace it, that does not mean the company that made the product sucks, it means the individual item sucked!

EA can certainly take some of the blame for the whole Facebook Scrabble/Scrabulous fracas. It seems they were caught asleep at the wheel on that one. Re: Facebook gaming.

I appreciate the comment/read. I did write about a bunch of new titles they have in the works, including 14 original properties coming in the next year. DeadSpace was kind of like a third-person Gears of War. They had Mirror's Edge, which had a cyber courier jumping among skyscrapers to evade security police. And there were a lot of others too. With this piece, I'm not trying to paint a portrait of everything that they have in the works. Thanks much for coming on over Slippy. I appreciate the comment/read.

Spore is something we've known about for years. So, in my opinion it doesn't really count. Plus, it is pretty much the evolution of the Sims Universe (again, it doesn't count as one of their newly created original ip's).

Whatever happened to EA's claims that they were focusing internally to develop new original IP's, instead of acquiring companies left/right like they usually do? Did they leave that out of their plans for the future? It certainly feels that way after the Bioware deal (and especially after this most recent proposal to Take-Two).
