Well said Zag, good post and worded more diplomatically than I managed. ;-) As you note solutions can only come from the top down, byf holding management and project managers responsible for the kind of situation EA as degraded into. Of course that's easier said than done. Even if the EA CEO decided today that he wanted to work more intelligently, it wouldn't be easy to turn a ship that big around. Because essentially it would mean to change 180 degrees the philosophy of every manager in the company ... something we all know is nearly impossible for even one manager. These managers were hired and promoted precisely because of their incompetent galley-slave-driver philosophy. The other direction that change may come from is shareholder revolt. As this brilliant article puts it, "It's not just Abusive. It's Stupid.": http://enginesofmischief.com/blogs/ramblings/archives/2004/11/11/643#more-643
