      Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.

      Execs call that “next CEO’s problem” while they plan how to spend the money from their golden parachutes.

    See, this is why I support pirating ALL EA games. We gotta spread the messages.

      Giving any of these big studios money at this point is lacking self respect IMHO. These hogs got fat about time gamers showed them who controls the money flow.

      I stopped buying EA for Mass Effect 3, I believe. Haven’t missed them.

    It’s not the job of EA execs to keep offices open or people employed. It’s their job to drive profit above anything else, no sacrifice is too great.

    It’s easy to make money if you fire everyone so you no longer have to pay them.
