EA responds to bugs in Tiger woods game

EA seems to be either deceiving everyone that they've turned a new leaf or they actually are.

Scary.
 
I'd hardly give EA as a company credit for this. They have hard working employees who come up with and do this shit.

It doesn't actually redeem EA one iota, at least not in my eyes.

Yeah, but a companies dick-headed policies aren't dictated by the bulk of their employees. Remember, EA employees have gotten reamed up the ass many times in the past by the powers that run EA. They're the power behind EA, but they're not what makes EA the dick company it is. The head honchos are.
 
the head honchos wouldnt have released this video if they didnt like it ..they can have the most talented and creative people on earth but it's the head honchos who determine what money will be spent of what projects ..this got the greenlight from the headhonchos or we wouldnt be discussing this issue

The commercial was approved and funded by EA's "head honchos".

I mean, they're doing something right if they're starting to convince me they're trying to improve their reputation among gamers and developers.
 
Giving the nod isn't the same as being responsible for what a great piece of work it is.

EA funds some damn good games and have given the nod to them in the past... but I don't feel they deserve the credit for those games. And doing so certainly doesn't redeem them in my eyes.

Wait wut? EA doesn't deserve credit for the games it makes? Say again? The people that make the games are EA employees for the most part. Yeah there are titles published by EA only but so what? That's a good thing isn't it?
 
All I'm saying is that EA has been there when many great games were made, great videos and funny trailers released. Everybody always bitching and moaning and saying, "Even though this looks good, EA sucks"

And now there's this one video and people are going, "Oh man, EA has possibly changed. I feel they're redeemed a good bit".

And I'm just left here scratching my head at the inconsistencies when nothing really at all has changed.

I'm saying that I don't feel the corporate head of the hydra deserves the credit. And that's what I feel is being done when people allude to the video as being redeeming of past mistakes, when the corporate head is the one responsible for all the bullshit in the past. There has always been good in EA, with their hard working, overworked, underpaid employees. When referencing the video to the screwups of EA in the past, to me it seems to ignore that large fraction which has always been consistently good and focuses only on the few in the company who screw it up.

Anyways, I'm not making any sense and nobody is with me on this. So I'm done.
 
They have been redeeming themselves for some time now. Maybe you missed the memo.

I don't think anyone is forming an opinion about an entire company based on one video but it was a good video.

This is true. EA has come a long way lately. I think their biggest downfall was pushing games out the door before they were complete, but now that doesn't seem to be the case. They've also been very serious about introducing a handful of new and creative IPs.

Indeed. Remember, Spore is an EA game.
 
It's not just this. It's this, combined with things like the Gabe interview where he said EA payed Valve everything they owed them, which was unusual for any publisher.
 
So this is just one visual element of the larger metamorphisis?
