I don't see why they NEED to control everything. It's just comical how insecure they're getting now. Next they're going to buy Wii Sports because it impedes on their territory!

Seriously though, a story about them taking out money to buy a company? Who's going to be excited about that?

i think it's kind of bogus how EA bought rights for the NFL and stuff, thus making any competition for sports games nonexistent

otherwise, anything that EA actually develops/makes usually ranges from crappy to average

the stuff they just produce/put their logo on/market is usually pretty good

i don't mind giving props to the furor, heil EA!

without using their monopoly, EA has yet to make a game better than something the competition has to offer....kinda an interesting thing to note.

Kind of like Luxottica, the eyeglass company. They were a mediocre Italian company started in the 60s-70s but they played their cards right and they pretty much own everything. Ray-Ban, Persol, Lenscrafters, Pearlevision, Sunglass Hut, etc. It's pretty nuts.
