>I worked for Electronic Arts for 8 years, worked on 10 games, and they were >all pirated. But I think EA deserved that because a lotl of the software I >used to make the games was also pirated. I asked for legitimate copies but >was always told there isn't enough money in the budget. I guess a 250 million >dollar net profit isn't enough. A few years ago EA dropped out of the SPA >(Software Publishers Association) because to stay in they had to have all the >software they were using audited. If this had been done, everone would have >known that the third largest developer of games is the largest software pirate >in the industry. This is probably the reason EA doesn't care about pirates. >They do it more than anyone else. I just checked, EA is still and always has been a member of the SPA. rabBit Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail sent to this address will result in either a mailbomb campaign or a virial attack, depending upon the nature of the offending E-mail and my mood.
