"EA does make sense as an acquisition target - the cash flows are fairly consistent and EA's annualized titles make for predictable revenue/profitability," D.A. Davidson & Co analyst Wyatt Swanson said.
Like pigs to slaughter. We tried warning them for decades. "If you keep buying these shit games for full price it will be the death of gaming." Now look at you: nothing but "consistent cash flows" in the eyes of bloodthirsty tyrants trying to fund their holocaust.
I really don't think there's a point to being disappointed here... Average consumers will consume any slop that is advertised to them. We can enjoy good games while they enjoy their slop... Though I wish more people supported indie developers.
Reminds me of when I had a demo disc for Def Jam: Fight for NY. The demon loaded up with a girl's voice saying "E. A. It's in the game." When I bought the full game there was a huge surprise when the girl grew up and a very deep male voice was used instead.
I miss the old EA. Ain't going to support whatever it is it has turned into.
Oh yeah, that was definitely the sound on the demo! Wow, quite the nostalgia hit there. I can't find a video of the Def Jam 2 version. I'll have to make one later.

Was she the "challenge everything" voice too?
