Richotello Fiddles, SimCity Burns

So, because I decided "I should post a new journal" I figured I'd talk my least favourite game publisher, EA.
I won't talk SimCitys rather...uh, troubled launch, or the DRM partciles because others have said what I could have said way better I feel, other then I heard on /v/ a cracked version of the game exists and it doesn't need servers.
Thus the horror of DRM remains: if you steal this game you get a better service, and a more functional game, then if you paid 50 bucks. Is that ironic? i can't tell because hipsters have ruined that word.
Anyways, EA's CEO John Rictollo has resigned. I honest want to tell his sucessor this:
for for some unlikely reason you're a furry who is reading this complete nobody's journal, I pity you. You are to take the helm of EA games.
Sure you are at the helm of a power force in the industry now, but you're hemorrhaging money, you can't sustain yourself. The signs are everywhere EA is sinking, same with the rest of the console Market but EA is an extreme case, they're dead centre in this bubble.
Add to the fact pretty much every person you need to get money from hates you and your company, and your stocks dropping slowly but steadily well.
Sucks to be you, pal.

That aside, yeah. Laughing at EA... while enjoying the hell out of Tropico! 8D
EA in pariclar is bad about this, plus with thier statements that next gen games should cost 70 bucks...I suspect EA is entered into what the buiness world calls a "Death Spiral" at least.
