“Pity more don't do this”

All you have to do is look at the crashes at Acclaim and 3DO and the management upheavals at Infotari and Take Two to realise that some of the quality of management is below optimum.
EA are the number one publisher, by miles. And the main reason for this is that they hire top draw professional management. People are everything, with the right people you can get everything else.

EA are gobbling up everything in their gaze , they do everything right do they ? what about their Xbox Live servers , EA are about one thing and that`s money without a thought for the consumer .. rehashing the same old year after year .
