There goes the last pro-Wii U developer owned by EA.
I feel like EA has most of the developers locked in a basement and only let the ones who are zealous talk.
Criterion Games made [i]Black[/i]? I had no idea, that game was the shit back then.

why do you try so hard to bait shit

because what that dude said was abnormally retarded? i really don't understand this stupid belief that EA literally tortures and oppresses its developers.

i'm pretty sure it wasn't really serious, stop taking it so personal

"What is a figure of speech?"

his entire post was dumb. any time a developer under EA straight up says something is their fault or something, it's alway "oooohhh they must be being oppressed :ccc!" or "oh that maxis CEO was planted by EA in 1996 as a conspiracy!"
i really don't understand this backwards attitude people have towards publishers. if a game does well, it's always "way to go, developer! you guys rock" but if the game does poorly it's usually "WOW UGH *publisher* made this game dumbed down, casual, buzzword, microtransactions!"

You sure are going to convince them otherwise by being sarcastic and calling their posts retarded.

yeah and you're sure going to convince him not to be sarcastic and call their posts retarded by giving him an epic zinger right to the throat
let me rephrase what he's trying to say
when valve fucks up: "oh my gosh... well they'll do better next time."
when EA fucks up: "holy FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK the big corporation let me make a SFM FILM OUT OF IT OH MY GOD FUCK EA FUCK EVERYONE ELSE" and/or "lol nerde humor"

Or maybe *gasp* it's something to do with the fact that those developers are technically EA. So not a "conspiracy".

maybe you should learn what a developer is before you make another uninformed post like this
also please don't pull a nigerianprince and use the pronoun "we" as your proof.

maybe you should learn what a subsidiary is, and that assuming EA has a say in what it's sister companies are doing isn't a conspiracy
i'm not sure what the second line is supposed to be so i'm gonna assume it's some kind of attempt at a sick burn

Considering those developers are acquired by EA, he's right. Some of them might still keep their name but they certainly serve under EA.

I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here

Oh man, I did my internship with them working on Burnout Revenge, If Criterion goes, that'll be both of EA's studios in Guildford gone
But still, we'll still have Lionhead and Media Molecule around here I guess

He's not wrong, the studios technically are a part of EA through and through
It even literally says EA Criterion and EA Brightlight on the door of the damn building
EDIT: Nope wait it appears to have changed since, but point still stands
