"The slump was blamed on poor performance of key titles, growing competition, higher engine licensing costs, and the upcoming next-gen consoles that are apparently reducing anticipation for current gen titles." - Andy Burnes @ VE3D

I think what really did it was killing off Westwood and throwing out a POS game called "C&C Generals" that is nothing true to the series.

Then tack on the release of NHL 2005, when there isn't even a season this year, PLUS the game is THE worst installment in the NHL series EVER. I deleted it within 5 minutes of playing, it's SHITE! SHITE SHITE SHITE!

 

All that was good with EA is now dead........rot EA, ROT! :P

I believe they're doing "From Russia with Love", and they actually signed Sean Connery, and all kinds of other actors

I think EA's profits may be dropping because EVERYONE FLOCKING HATES THEM! Maybe if they weren't such ASSHOLES, and quit buying out entire franchises, they wouldn't be diving into a empty cement pond.
