EA raise some interesting points, and their comment about reinventing the wheel is definatly valid.
However, we all know the main reason EA has obtained Renderware is so that it's competitors will be forced to pay EA royalties, putting it in a win-win situation.
I can't think of anyone that likes EA at the moment. I get the feeling that consumers are beginning to lose confidence in them too.

I don't feel people are losing confidence in EA at all. People still buy there games because they have a great track record. The only reason you hear bad things about the company is because people through out history love to see the mighty fall. Like when Nintendo was king people cheered Sony when they beat them. Now Sony is king people are cheering Microsoft to beat them. Same for Nintendo in the hand held department, people are cheering for Sony to win (I just want fair competitivness). EA right now is only having a few problems far from the company falling apart. Its just little things like this make a great story because the perfect company has a flaw.
My true feelings are hidden in this code:

I do 3D for commercials and film, but lots of my friends work at EA. I've heard the straight dope from them and I find one thing funny about this article. What are their plans for management?
From what I hear, the problem has been in the fact that management does not always know what their people do.
If you don't know what your people do, you don't know how long it takes.
If you don't know how long it takes, how can you manage people's time?
Hopefully they'll take some of their employee suggestions and seriously consider them. I don't know that they are or aren't, but what companies with money usually do is hire people from the outside who's job title says they can fix this stuff, but really don't have the experience and insight to do it right.

"I recognize that at the heart of the matter is a core truth: the work is getting harder, the tasks are more complex and the hours needed to accomplish them have become a burden."
From reading the outcry of the spouse, this seems to completely miss the true heart of the matter. Open your eyes as a company and understand that those people are what matter. Being in a video game environment where management truly value their employees as well as what each of us bring to the table, what we truly want is to be valued fairly and to be shown respect.
C'mon, it's simple... you truly treat your employees fair and with respect, then they'll gladly put that effort to produce a fantastic product.
