    Finishing the list of crimes you're reading with "...and this is for Westwood!" as he's dragged off to face the wall would be a pretty funny bit. And also well deserved.

      So many cool studios/developers got the ax from EA. I wonder gaming would be different if those creative teams weren't so prematurely disbanded, forced to abandon projects, or forced to do yet another iteration of an existing super franchise like FIFA or Battlefield. Mythic, Origin, Visceral, Maxis, Westwood, Bullfrog, LucasArts, and many more lost to EA.

        Maxis and LucasArts hurt a lot. But for me it was/is the destruction of BioWare.
