Oh dear, first making employees work long periods of overtime with no pay and now this. How the mighty have fallen.
EA, you have to understand that making good original and satisfying games is what makes you more money.
While it doesnt always work this way you have less problems with shareholders (well I know how they hate risk in this game but without some risk you'll never bypass the competition and it's for this reason Konami's Pro Evo is kicking Fifa around the pitch).
Perhaps EA needs to be smaller like once before, when you have less employees you can keep an eye on what they are up to.

That's would seem to be a clear case of market manipulation for personal gain. They should burn in hell with Martha Stewart and Jamie Oliver.

I was slightly amused to see Mr Oliver on ITV News today talking about how he has, through the power of good, forced the government to pledge more cash to school meals.
EA is a funny beast. They used to just make loads and loads of money with seemingly no limits, but now they've began to hit setbacks.
The Company needs to learn that employees will work better when they're happy, that it's possible to make money while innovating (look at Nintendo) and that customers don't want seemly endless generations of average sports titles.

It's his contant whining that f**ks me off. Driving around in a Maserati (A car that basically says, "I have £80,000 to burn" because the re-sale value of it is ZERO) and complaining that he "isn't getting paid for this". Sorry, but I simply do not believe that he is doing "School Dinners" for free.
Then whining about not being home by eight o'clock. He runs a f**king restaurant for god's sake, he should NEVER be at home by eight pm.
I know he's just trying to seem like a man of the people, with real-world problems. But he should realise that he's not, and get on with other otherwise stirling work "School Dinners" is doing.

Will I still be soiled, when the dirt is off?
