Why Did EA Do This?

The_Doctor · 17-07-2008, 12:48 PM

On the one hand, Electronic Arts is one of the largest media companies in the world with 7900 employees and $4 billion in revenues. The company has a virtual lock on sports franchise games; for FIFA'08 they have a multi-year licensing and marketing deal with FIFA, the world governing body of the most popular sport on the planet.

On the other hand, they aren't very good at arms.

Look at Ronaldin-OW!s arm.

Nope it's the American/African box. I'm sure that both America and Africa put together have alot more people than Just Europe. That means more miffed customers about the shoddy box

If we can spot the arm error, I'm sure that the EA photoshop staff would pick it up. If not, well I'm sure there would be a few resemes from EAUK members being mailed to the head office.
