    Think of all the people that will be fired and then hired by better video game companies!

    Not so fast. This is the first warning shot. EA currently gets the message that monopolizing whole markets and underpaying their employees might in the end turn out to be bad business decisions. It's not the end of the company yet <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Wait! If EA goes down the tubes what happens to the good developers that are employed by EA!

    Could it be that no more Free Radical games come out? I mean no more Timesplitters?

    GAH!

    But.... if EA goes away, who will shoddily re-hash last year's sports games with only minor changes made in order to make the game look new?

    Ill retexture all the jerseys in MSpaint, then use my Maya PLE copy to redo the fan's noses and the number of seams on the ball.

    Then ill record a few new announcer noises, and add in names (not necissairily anything else) of actual players.

    If someone gets me the source, maybe 2 weeks for the project?
