I’m not sure why the news article was so adamant about it. I think it was a good article, but I’m sure it would have been better if it had said ‘I work at Electronic Arts and we use a lot of the same people.
I have been working at EA for eight years now and I have never once been told to take a step back or not to work on a project anymore. I have a lot of friends who have been telling me all sorts of things, but they are always just to do that kind of thing.
Even though EA announced that they would no longer be making games for the PC, there are still plenty of people who make PC games. This is not a big deal to them except that they would rather work on the Xbox 360 and PS3. I think the article was trying to point out that they had a lot of great people working on games for the PC, so they decided to “let it go.
I am not convinced that the PC gaming community (which still exists, as it does for lots of games) is actually that big, but I do think that the news was a bit premature. Even without the PC gaming community, I imagine that there are plenty of people who make PC games.
The article is from last month and not online for a couple of months. It’s still a good article though, and it’s worth reading. It’s a quick read and gives a few more details about what the cancellation means for the PC gaming industry.
The PC gaming industry is not dead. It’s just that it’s now just a little less relevant to a lot of people. The PC gaming community is very much alive though and it’s not all doom and gloom. For example, there are a lot of games on the PC gaming store (the PC gaming store is also available on Xbox Live). There are two games that I’m particularly fond of, and that’s Blood Bowl II and The Sims 4.
In all honesty, the cancellation means that a lot of the people who play these games are going to have to spend months or years doing something different. For example, I have to wait around until I’m 18-years-old to play Blood Bowl II.
The PC gaming store on Xbox Live is great too, but many of these programs are just getting started, and it’s hard to know if they’ve been cancelled, and if they’re still going to be around at all.
Im really excited about the possibilities of making electronic arts games, since its a whole new way to get new games out to the public. With the right technology, and the right marketing, I think that we might actually be seeing the start of the next wave of videogames.
I hope you are not thinking about electronic arts to make the next “blood bowl”, which is about to get serious. It is not that simple. In fact, the game industry is going to suffer at least as much from the next outbreak of the “blood bowl” as the rest of us are suffering from the zombie apocalypse. The reason for this is that the “blood bowl” is about to be cancelled, and its not just the game developer, but the entire game industry.
