Far be it from me to partake in some good old schaudenfraude but EA just posted their financial results for the fourth quarter 2004 and it came in as a resounding THUD! Profits were reduced by 91% as a result of the basic shoddyness of the in-house games they make.
Perhaps they would have been able to do better in Q1 2005 had they given SW the respect it deserved but they didn't so it didn't and they won't get no sympathy from me.
