End Origin, give developers more time instead of rushing them, stop making mobile games with paywalls and encourage more effort to be put into each game, putting consumers before shareholders.

This is more like it, a hard deadline for the devs to have a half finished product! Do NOT extend this deadline, it will be out when you say it's going out.

I really hope his design stays pretty much the same in the next movie.
His new scar and some stubble should make it bretty gud.
Either through this game or an immediate sequel, adding rolling back to Battlefront so that gunplay is deeper than teams standing around blasting at each other.
Observing all game design meetings.
Setting a baseline set of criteria for perfect game design (more simple than it seems).
Maybe investing in software that can QA games by mapping functions for interesting outputs (from the code).
HD and multiplayer editions of great games, which could include 007:Nightfire, early Battlefield and NFS games, etc.. especially those with the best gameplay.
Maybe finding some innovation for sports games, like controls or including touchpads or something.
Fucking off the DLC trend with the most popular games, especially the Sims. Promoting user development of all of that and including a method of making money on it while taking a cut.

The problem with that is income. They're a publisher, and they have no reason to pay publishing fees. Furthermore, "Origin" would be fine as a browser-based service.. at least as an alternative.

Why does everyone wants this? do you guys want increase Gaben tax and dissuade more devs and publishers to distribute on steam? we want more competition in the market, not less.
A lot of publishers wanted to make their own market place because they don't want to pay 30% base minimum and 40-50% (at launch hype) tax.

It's not just a case of taking down Origin and putting all EA games on Steam. What about the money aspect of things? EA clearly don't want, nor should they, have to share a slice of the pie with Valve for something they made?
If they cut a deal with Gaben and said, we will give you 3% of the cut to use your distribution platform then fair enough.

This is why you will never be the CEO of EA retard.
Do everything I can to very subtly sew the seeds of failure into the company and ultimately crash it into the ground like John Ravioli almost did.
EA isn't even a necessary evil like Activision is. They don't do anything beneficial for anyone or anything in gaming. Their sports titles are arguably a mess due to endless legacy bugs and every game being the same with slight changes.
They a chaotic evil whose manifesto is to LITERALLY monopolize gaming. And I use literally non-ironically.I was trying to dig up their old company statement motto about being the sole and ultimate gaming producer, but can't seem to fucking find it right now.

I would probably do a rebrand of Origin and make the shit like scanning your PC optional. I would then start a massive "PC gaming" campaign partnered with either AMD or Nvidia to try to get more people into PC gaming. I would probably go as far as to try to get AMD to make a "gaming" APU that we could spec our games to run 720p 60 fps - 1080p 60 fps on and then try to increase our PC market size because it's the platform where through Origin we make the most money so it would be best if all sales came digitally through Origin.

Both of these two are incredibly bad ideas. The fact of the matter is that steam is just as Jewy as EA, they need to be challenged on the market, not get their dick's sucked by some weird fanboy who became CEO of EA for some reason. You may as well just liquidate EA completely and give them all your money if you're gonna be such a cuckold about it.
Instead of willfully sucking another corporation's dick, just give better deals on Origin and expand it's capabilities to handle third party games while streamlining it. Make it a good service that people actually want to use, topple Steam's monopoly.
>dispand battlefront and release Super Star Wars Battlefront with 20 maps, more heroes and content.
So what you're saying is they should stop supporting a game they just shipped to make the exact same game, but better? Well good for you, they're already panning on doing this, and it's still a retarded kike decision!
