So in essence, EA was a saving grace for Maxis, and in return Maxis has become EA's cash-cow.ĭo I hate EA? Not for what they have done for the Simulation gaming industry, but for stagnating other genre's, yes.Genre: First Person Shooter Release Year: 2004 Developer: Digital Illusions CE Publisher: Electronic Arts Age Rating: 16+ Playability Status: Perfect Tested On: Windows 8 圆4 Availability: Copyright retained - Out of print/unavailableīattlefield 1942 is another classic PC game that spawned a popular franchise that’s still around today. The result? The definitive number 1 selling game of all time with countless expansion packs, raking in the dough for EA. With the assistance of EA, Maxis was able to get the title working, up to snuff and shipped. So much so that the project was scrapped and placed on the back burner while work progressed on other big-selling titles the time (SC2K, Sim Tower & Sim Isle).

Maxis & head software architect Will Wright (creator of almost all of the 'Sim' games) tried to launch a much earlier version of The Sims (or some type of 'electronic dollhouse' application) in the early 90's, and it wasn't well received by the community at all. well I loathe MS as well, but at least they're known for treating their employees well.ĮA bailed Maxis out of financial trouble and catapulted some of the best software ideas kicked around by the troubled software developer into the best selling game of all time for the PC: The Sims.

Admittedly the only EA games I own are from the C&C series as I gave up on sports games a looong time ago.Īnd on the comparison to Microsoft. I'm pretty sure this is simply due to their rep as a inequitable employer. While you'd think their co-op postings would have tons of applicants (who doesn't wanna be involved in the games industry), quite often they get far fewer SFU applicants than other big name companies. I know this is somewhat expect in high-tech field as work tends to pile up before deadlines, but everything I've heard and seen at EA seems like bad news. They're well known locally as being a 'sweat shop developer' whose employees are expected to work well in excess of 40 hour work weeks. I have yet to meet a co-op student or regular EA employee who worked reasonable hours. But I'd say most are as evil as they can be.ĮA Canada is centered in Vancouver and they employ numerous SFU (my university) co-ops and graduates. I know there are companies out there that really do care, and others who are just like Microsoft, but not as sucessful. I got to play with it some for a couple monthsīut I really don't think EA is any more evil than ANY other corporation out there 'trying to make a buck'. It's been used in many many products like GTA3, and I think BattleField 1942, more than likely BattleField 2 as well.

RenderWare really is amazing, and just in case you don't know, it's a 'MiddleWare' product that you buy to get a jump start in a game engine, you buy whatever you need, then the programmers adjust it's expencive OpenSource code to their liking adding and taking out whatever they wish. Though I am sure they will since it currently costs $300,000 for the bare basic package, and even more money per module such as Sound, extra Effects for various other asepects too that I cannot think of at the moment. It's bad in that EA can basically say what goes with the product now, IF they choose to licence it out still. EA now owns a product which is used industry wide in shortening the amount of time it takes to build a new Game. Which if they are as evil as you think, could be a bad thing. or whom bought out the original owners of a product called 'RenderWare'. Though I may actually get with a smaller company instead for other reasons. HEY! I'm trying to get a job with EA when I graduate.
