Some good games developed by EA are:

-Medal of Honor: European Assault (PS2)

-Need for Speed: High Stakes (PS1)

-Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars

It would seem that EA is more of a publisher than a developer.

Generally EA's products was are pretty good. I just am upset with them over the NBA live series and teh Madden series. they don't have competetion for football so they got lazy with that. They haven't made a good nba game in years

That's like saying "don't blame Paramount if the movie stinks". EA sets the release dates for games they publish. And they are reknowned for releasing a game even when it is clearly not finished... Release first and patch later is a hallmark that EA pretty much invented. So, yes, they can be blamed for the games they release.

EA's corporation ranks in money by releasing. Most of their "operations" are publishing-related. They are hated because of their notorious ability to release game before they are done.

What they do a lot of times is obtain a developer after they make their first great game. Then after they are under EA what usually happens is the next game is rushed and a lot of times then whored out for the next few years with half ass efforts to to keep the cash cow going...

Well, as EA is publishing the games, they're responsible for the quality too. If they see a dev that cuts too many corners, or just develops a lame game, they should step up and say the game needs to be improved as a publisher. If they don't, they show that they're only in it for the money, and don't mind the games.

To be perfectly fair, it was Valve who made that the norm in PC publishing. HL was a tremendous success and was really quite bug ridden until several patches in. What EA pioneered was releasing unfinished products and never really finishing them.

Most PC games are like that. What he's talking about isn't glitches or bugs but games that got published halfway through their development cycle. You know, when its obvious that the devs had a lot more planned but the publisher decided to force the game to go gold anyway.

Oh really? Then explain why the EA logo is in all the games I mentioned. :P Dice has always been a branch of EA and the team that did hitman worked with EA for freedom fighters. So please do your research.

So why shouldn't you hate EA, they present the games order others to make them, take credit for them and are the general face of... EA

You are kinda right though, it's not fair to ignore every single individual who has blood on his hands from murdering fun and quality

Everybody with connections to EA deserves to be hated by the world population

EA forces some games out before they are ready, it hurts the quality.
