Electronic Arts is a video game company considered some to be soulless churning out sequel after sequel. It was set up by Trip Hawkins (who later made the 3D0) to originally provide games for the home computers such as the Commodore 64 and the PC that they made games such as M.U.L.E., it wasn't until Trip bumped into John Madden when they starting to develop games on consoles, the Sega Mega Drive being the first. They provided quite decent games even though they had to resort to dodgyness for coding by using reverse engineering (the developers Park Place, Polygames who later made Sonic Spinball and later Tiertex all used it) but it went all wrong when John Madden Football and FIFA kept selling when compared to their other games such as Road Rash and the Strike series. Nowadays EA mainly make the EA Sports lineup, Need for Speed, Burnout, The Sims and nothing much more.

Trivia

  • They own John Madden and the NFL license, which sucks.
  • They bought a LOT of companies; Bullfrog (Theme Park/Hospital), Westwood (Command & Conquer), Maxis and made them bust.
  • While many people consider them the worst developer due to overtime and rushing their games, they actually have better working practises than Tose even though in the past EA did use them to develop their games.
  • They ruined Tecmo Bowl on the virtual console and the new Tecmo Super Bowl on the DS.
  • Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl on the Famicom/NES are much better games than the Madden games.
