From the PlanetXbox360.com featured editorial:
"A few weeks ago at the 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo, EA Sports dropped a bombshell during its press conference by announcing a new partnership with Zuffa Inc. and its main proprietor, Ultimate Fighting Championship, also known as the UFC. Now, this was a shocker of an announcement, for two reasons. The first was that the company was already partnered up with THQ through a series of game releases, known as UFC Undisputed. But the second is even more interesting – Dana White, president of UFC, swore never to work with EA Sports following the release of EA Sports MMA a couple of years back – in expletive terms."
EA just hosted its quarterly financial conference call, and its executives have been asked to comment about the recent price hikes for games.
Today, Electronic Arts announced its financial results for the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, alongside the full year.
Split Fiction has sold nearly 4 million copies, and the next battlefield is confirmed for a release by March 2026 with a reveal this Summer.
In addition to the roughly 100 job cuts IGN reported earlier today at Respawn Entertainment, EA has made wider cuts across its organization today, impacting around 300 individuals total including those already reported at Respawn.
Absolutely insane. Man I'm hope they land on their feet EA needs to get the shit together badly....
This is why this industry has slow releases and none compelling games.
Why would anyone willingly work in the VG industry or specifically for one of these globocorp organizations that put you in constant fear of losing your livelihood based on terrible choices made by idiotic management, not the people with talent making the actual games?
I hope so, THQ got pretty good there towards the end of the franchise...
I doubt it
NO. Online pass and 2 months server from EA would kill it.
If they put the care into it that they do with fight night, then I'd think so.
EA can't even make a good football or basketball game....MMA is way more complex to capture/make it feel 100% realistic like the sport many watch on tv.....
