This comes as a shock to absolutely nobody. (Or, at least, nobody who has been paying the slightest bit of attention, anyway.)
Well, I've already
said all that I feel the need to
say on this subject, so I'll just leave it at that.
I will make a quick comment on this article itself, though.
Paul Tassi said, "EA is responsible for many of my favorite games, and despite the criticism I level at them, I want them to be around making these titles for a long time to come."
Personally, I would prefer that EA utterly die and burn in video game company hell for the rest of eternity, and then have their various franchises be taken up by better companies that would actually appreciate them and do them proper justice, but maybe that's just me. ¬_¬
