I was just thinking... I'm sure that the Mass Effect games and spin-offs (comics, paraphernalia, hoodies, etc,) has made at least a billion dollars in all. By that I mean that in all likelihood, the average ME nerd, over the course of his or her nerdage, would buy at least 100$ worth of merchandise. And I know that there are several million fans that still exist, even with EA's forced ending of ME3. My point is this: What could a game company possibly be doing with a billion+ dollars? My point is furthered if EA continues down the line of what seems to be a cutthroat, totalitarian view of their smaller companies, which would destroy competition and drive sales up. If they're not using profit to improve the quality of their products, and they're not using the money to provide better wages benefits to their employees, what could the big, imposing EA CEO be doing with it all other than rolling around in cash or building a massive walkway to oversee the peasants from?
