I wasn't specifically speaking of EA but I guess many people don't necessarily know it for the bad stuff they pull off but rather for Fifa and such? Even though I would never touch them with a 2m stick, I still fondly remember them for "EA sports, it's in the game" era.
I mean, I could understand dreaming about working for (old) Blizzard, id, Westwood, Looking Glass, Valve, etc. but EA?! Really?
