EA announced that EA Games will be renamed EA Entertainment in a move that splits it and EA Sports into two separate organizations encompassing many of EA’s major studios.
So… EA Sports is not “in the Game?”
Damn, I thought the same thing…
It’s crazy to me that looking back, EA Sports peak quality was in the early 2000’s, when they released classics such as SSX 3 (I was also going to say Def Jam, but only the first was released under the EA Sports Big umbrella). Ever since those days, the brand only releases garbage titles that only sell to a young and impressionable audience that not only buys the new releases every year, but also give EA money with meaningless microtransactions.
Can’t wait to see EA burn, after they lost the official FIFA license. The internal restructuring of the groups doesn’t affect much, to the developers, as it seems. I think the major concern is that EA Sports games have a negative reputation that affected the sales of single player games. Now they want to separated those images. Otherwise, I have no idea why EA would do this. An interesting period of time to be in.
Precursor to one of the units being acquired perhaps.
