Well, I was going to do another post on Sonic the
Hedgehog, but it feels like that’s slightly inappropriate right now. I appreciate the irony of the situation,
though; who would have guessed that the company with exclusive rights to the Star Wars franchise (for now) would
willingly and eagerly become the villainous empire the canon’s heroes have
clashed with for decades?
I mean, besides everyone. Because this is EA we’re talking about. But at least now, it seems like every gamer
on the planet is giving Electronic Arts -- an increasingly ill-fitting name --
dirty looks and glares fierce enough to pierce through a steel wall.
So. Let’s
talk about EA. And not Sonic, unfortunately.
