Another thing I feel must be noted is that a lot of EA's series didn't originally begin with EA.
The Old Republic, Mass Effect and Dragon Age were under Bioware which was not EA at the time.
Maxis with various Sims games. Didn't get bought until 1997 and killed in 2014.
Populous, Dungeon Keeper and Syndicate by Bullfrog.
Ultima and Wing Commander were made by Origin.
Command and Conquer was Westwood Studios.
DreamWorks Interactive with Medal of Honor. They're now DICE Los Angeles.
Phenomic with Mercenary, SpellForce and BattleForge.
Pandemic with Destroy All Humans!, Saboteur, and Star Wars: Battlefront (Is this irony? I'm not sure. Its 6 am and I haven't slept.)
NuFX with NBA Street.
Visceral Games killed off recently (though this one started as EA afaik).
A lot of people end up supporting EA because its an all consuming creatue that sucks in everything they know and love.
The reason Firaxis released that shitshow Civ V mod we call Beyond Earth is because EA owns the rights to Alpha Centauri. A lot of racing games didn't have porsches in them because of EA. https://www.polygon.com/2016/12/13/13935...an-turismo
