[PATV] Monday, December 23, 2013 - CheckPoint Season 3, Ep. 28: EA You’re Just OK
When Checkpoint and Extra Credits leave here, I'll officially have nothing of interest left here to see. The Original First Party material on PATV is shit and I have no interest in it.
EA was actually announced a winner of a "Best Company to Work at Award". Of course, that award was based on equality towards the LGBT community and didn't take into account that in EA's case that means equally bad as everyone else, but hey, it's something right?
No. No they're not. They're not Okay. They're still The Worst.
Before, they were the Worst. Then, they tried to screw indie developers into working for free. That doesn't make them "Okay." It makes them worse than the previous worst.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. If EA is in any way serious about changing their image, there is one thing, and ONLY one thing they can do to change it: Stop being a dick. To customers, to developers, to reviewers, to their entire industry. Stop being a dick, EA.
Busting out a new dickish move disguised as something benevolent should not be interpreted as a step in the right direction. It should be interpreted as two steps in the wrong direction: They're trying to pull the same old bullshit that got them elected the Worst Company In America two years running, and they're lying about it. That's two bad moves in a row.
Don't even joke about EA being "okay." The joke doesn't work.

Thankyou guys. You're so awesome.

I am so happy that checkpoint is still happening.
