After just a few months on the job, I started to reevaluate my desire and need to be a part of the video games industry. The one thing that was important to me though, was portraying a professional attitude, and to not cause waves within the office. Waves are not a good thing in the gaming industry, and one can find their way out of the door very quickly if that is the route one chose to travel down.

So Let Me Get This Straight, Part I:
Man City's Chairman Al Mubarak was embarrassed by the way Mark Hughes was fired by the club. And now they hang Mancini out to dry by doing the exact same thing, pretty much confirming Pellegrini's hire the day before Mancini had to lead the team out onto Wembley for the FA Cup finals?
Interesting to read City fans' reactions on the club firing Mancini. There are a few ways to look ... Read More
EA has released a new trailer for NHL 14, and it previews the new one-touch dekes that will be available in this year's game as well as the revised "True Performance Skating" features. These features had been talked about a little before now, but this video provides a first glimpse into what they will actually look like.
As is the norm with most EA sizzle videos from the developers these days, they start by ... Read More

It turns out EA listens to customer feedback somewhat after all, as the company has decided to drop its online pass system from all EA games.
"Initially launched as an effort to package a full menu of online content and services, many players didn't respond to the format, "EA senior director of corporate communications John Reseburg said.
"We've listened to the feedback and decided to do away with it moving forward."
This move is definitely a move to spur more positive feedback towards the company, which has been at the center of consumer ire for a few years now. The more cynical person might conclude this is a move that was going to have to be made anyways if next-gen consoles offer a similar function built-in -- but there is nothing that indicates that just yet.
Regardless, for now, kudos to EA for listening to customer feedback and for getting rid of a very unpopular feature.
