Like of course gamers hate them for the various things they've done to certain franchises and whatnot, but from reading comments online related to the new office they announced they're opening in Vancouver practically no one has anything actually bad to say about them as an employer.

Of course that's because they went through their reckoning like 15 years ago though >_>

I cannot comprehend any hate towards EA. It is one of the most surreal phenomenon I have ever seen. It's a big company that sells video games and expensive dlc. Don't like it, dont buy it. It didn't start lootbox gambling trend like valve, rapey shit like a plethora of video game companies, massive game direction changes for established properties like wow due to money stuff, doesn't have horror stories about working there, etc.

EA used to be one of the most hated game companies.

They didn't get better though. Other companies just sunk way below them.

It's not EA saying it, it's the actual people that work/have worked there.

doesn't have horror stories about working there

This is largely because they went through that shit a decade and a half ago. Go look up the whole "EA Spouse" thing and how it directly led to at least 3 class-action lawsuits against them.

Are you kidding? EA's handling of their IP's has been horrendous. They keep trying to push always online and add loot boxes (it seems like they've backed off on those for now though) in everything. They've also caused several developers of beloved IPs to be shut down... But yeah, sure EA is a great company

I remember seeing three or four years ago that Activision-Blizzard was on Fortune's annual list of 100 best companies to work for (ranked somewhere in the 90s, but still) and realizing right there that the list is a complete farce and the whole system is bullshit.

Didn't EA also have horrendous crunch times, though that seems standard in the industry nowadays.
