EA says indie game devs wont cut it: - Reno - 05-19-2005 02:11 AM

interesting.....
Alot of the comments in that thread speak somewhat what i think: \"If EA says we cant, we do it and make them look bad.\"
Some of the stuff we\'re working on EA, and other huge game companies, with multi-million dollar budgets, haven\'t even thought of, or werent man enough to do themselves. Innovation is the key to success, and with some of the stuff we\'re doing, along with what we can accomplish with TSE and other hand built adds, i think we can make EA sweat allittle
anyways [/rant]
-Reno out

Well he then thinks good mods with allot of work in them are impossible. As mods are basically new games on a the same engine of a game.

Yeah that\'s big business for you, always trying to push down the little guy as if it\'s the only thing they know... Revolution is the answer

EA is only interested in Franchise deals.
Now if only they were still EOA! That would be freaking awesome!

Haha, EA is fucking stupid. They underestimate the will of the indie devs, we will show \'em who\'s boss.

EA is such a franchise company. They ride on things like the Sims, MOH, James Bond, and such (though Sim games aren\'t bad, still made by Maxis).
So essentially, they are saying that their rehashed, 1 line recoded, 1 extra feature based-on-a-frachise expansion is better than something original and will totally murder indie devs.
EA needs to die. Seriously. They are right though. They\'ve been in the industry too long and have a grip on unknowledged casual gamers. Even if EA\'s games are play and throw away, they do seem to have that going well for them.
Of course, I support indie game devs like you guys all the way. Perhaps, when TTR: T comes out, EA will be totally \"Oh Snap, why didn\'t we ever think of that?!\". And they\'ll collapse and die out

tomcat ha Wrote::B whats EOA
EOA was this company that released these super ultra kick arse games in the mid/late 80\'s. Pretty much all of their games were developed by small independent studios.
EOA later shortened it\'s name to EA.

hah! the irony.
the day small-time colorfull crooks will cease to exist and all are joined in the big bad grey mob will be the day humankind will cease to exist... and if so: cheers to that.
