If you want, creative independence, then don’t merge with a mega corporation.

The original was released by EA over 20 years ago. It's not like its something they bought up.

You said this so much more diplomatically than I was going to.

EA was hardly a mega corp when they published the first game though. Where is Taylor Swift when you need her?

What? EA has been a mega corp in the game industry since forever.

This prompted me to look into their history, and yeah, looks like they were basically a super-group formed out of employees from names like Apple and Atari and were big right out of the gate.

I was mainly just thinking how EA Sports games have been a thing for as long as I can remember. Even when video games was a small industry, they were still a big fish.

The EA has been a gaming mega corp for at least 30 years.
