If you even remotely watch television (for the 14 - 34 male demographic) you can’t help but notice that at least one of their games will be advertised at some point in time (usually during sporting events). EA’s nearly ubiquitous gaming logo is especially apparent during the start of the Nascar season, FIFA’s World Cup, the NFL pre-season and the start of the NBA’s season. Yep, they’ve nearly monopolized all the popular sports in gaming and they’re about to start with superheroes, and possibly the entire Take-Two brand of gaming.
Now there’s nothing wrong with monopolizing an industry, especially if it’s for the better. No one can complain about a popularized product if it at least works well. Right? Well that would seem to be the case, the only problem is that EA’s products are more miss than hit. Their announcements are usually about the most buzz-worthy aspect of the entire development process for any of their projects. And many of their original titles feature a noteworthy but standalone feature, such as the extortion function in the promising yet disappointing The Godfather: The Game. To this day I can’t figure out what they wanted you to do after you were done shooting everyone. (Continual Source: http://www.cinemablend.co…aming-Industry-10169.html) |

Even their sports games are overrated (granted sports games in general aren't that great). But, this goes to show, its not about being the best when monopolizing (*cough* microsoft & windows.... especially vista). Apple is finally making a come back, but it goes to show that higher quality does not equal biggest company. Somehow people like EA and Walmart take over when in reality they blow. If this "EA takeover" happens, it truly may be the end of gaming.
