EA by far is a good company. Up there with valve.
They dont rule over the developers and fire them like acti. There is no pressure for the devs.
They even have fking ea sports ping pong.

Valve vs Vivendi case

Between 2002 and 2005, Valve was involved in a complex legal showdown with its publisher, Vivendi Universal (under Vivendi's brand Sierra Entertainment). It officially began on August 14, 2002, when Valve sued Sierra for copyright infringement, alleging that the publisher illegally distributed copies of their games to Internet cafes. They later added claims of breach of contract, accusing their publisher of withholding royalties and delaying the release of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero until after the holiday season.

Vivendi fought back, saying that Gabe Newell and marketing director Doug Lombardi had misrepresented Valve's position in meetings with the publisher. Vivendi later countersued, claiming that Valve's Steam content distribution system attempted to circumvent their publishing agreement. Vivendi sought intellectual property rights to Half-Life and a ruling preventing Valve from using Steam to distribute Half-Life 2.

On November 29, 2004, Judge Thomas S. Zilly of U.S. Federal District Court in Seattle, Washington ruled in favor of Valve Corporation. Specifically, the ruling stated that Vivendi Universal and its affiliates (including Sierra) were not authorized to distribute Valve games, either directly or indirectly, through cyber cafés to end users for pay-to-play activities pursuant to the parties' current publishing agreement. In addition, Judge Zilly ruled that Valve could recover copyright damages for infringements without regard to the publishing agreement's limitation of liability clause.[9] Valve posted on the Steam website that the two companies had come to a settlement in court on April 29, 2005.[10] Electronic Arts announced on July 18, 2005 they would be teaming up with Valve in a multi-year deal to distribute their games, replacing Vivendi Universal from then onwards.[11] As a result of the trial, the arbitrator also awarded Valve $2,391,932.

EA, unlike Activision, doesn't have the need to put its logo on everything related to them.

I would make a gigantic beautiful city that I worked days on....


only to nuke it with the nuclear powerplant


*****How to nuke a city in Sim City 4*****

Step 1: Take nuclear powerplants and cluster at least 4 or 5 together in a small area.

Step 2: Cut funding to nuclear power plants and fire department and destroy all water supplies.

Step 3: Light fire with god tools

Step 4: PROFIT


I made a wasteland once...


I had a city divided by a river and I nuked one side, which became a radioactive wasteland

the other half survived and was actually quite profitable.

the other half had a few houses that were left and crime rates were like 99.99%

mabe i still have the save, let me find disk and see if it's still there (PROFIT)

the entire reason spore was fucked up with all those bugs and the two unfinished (terrain and flora) editors was because EA pushed a deadline on Maxis :/
