Shadow said: http://www.ea.com/news/we-can-do-better I'm someone that pays very close attention to industry trends (a lot more than almost anyone I know), I can assure you my morale is not only high...but I'm also very proud to be working for EA.
Absolutely it's a concern," Hines said. "We have tried to mitigate it by creating games that offer replayability, by supporting them with DLC that's worth hanging onto the game for, or offering tools that let them take things further

shooter_mcgavin said: As for EA ... letter or no letter what matters if customer sees the change. I kind of feel like their approach in combating used games is wrong and seems to stem more on screwing the consumer. Which I why I applaud Bethesda with their comments on used games and piracy. Sure it's a concern for them and they want to avoid it but they are tackling it in a way that provides value to the consumer. Yeah what's funnier is that the next one was only CEO for 11 months. And before he came in the share price of the company was in the low to high 40's then he got fired because he sucked and when he left share prices were at the low 20's. He also got a $13 Million severence :-|. At least the last one, despite his issues with ethics and conduct, contributed to the company's positive performance and high share prices even though part of it was because of cost cutting and laying off people but hey becuause of the company's recent blunders that's happening anyways :-( Thankfully I've been safe in my 5 years there.

Zubis said: https://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=556968 SE's new plan - less focus on worldwide AAA titles and more focus on regional console gaming and smartphones it seems...so more of what they're doing with Eidos? As I said on FB, they announced FF13 at 3% completion and three years too early...are we going to be told about FF16 the day someone comes up with an idea while sitting on the loo?
Onyx said: Something brought up on a friend's FB: remember when Square Enix got FF8-11 all out within a very timely period? What happened to that kind of management? FF8 and 10 was one studio, FF9 was another, and FF11 was yet another.
