I mean, they made three games together over the past seven years. How long do you think he needs to catch up with your zero days expertise before he can reliably state this?

When his studio gets shut down and the IPs he created join the many others in the void that is everything EA devours.

His studio isn’t owned by EA. Hazelight is an indie studio working with EA as a publisher through their EA Originals label.

Turns out EA has been publishing indie games for ages, which is one of those kinda neat things they do that nobody ever gives them credit for.

Good to know, I guess it’s just hard to see past the haze of evil incarnate sometimes.

Valve said the same about EA when they used them to publish the Orange Box, seems they’re great as partners but not owners.

Right. People forget that The Orange Box was an EA game, too. I believe EA people even coded parts of the console ports directly or something, I’d have to look it up.

And yeah, that tracks. EA may exist only to provide a charisma black hole to cosmically balance out Steam’s ability to get players to go along with complete garbage sometimes.
