Why is electronic arts a bad company?
<|assistant|>
Electronic Arts (EA) is a critically acclaimed company for their innovative video games, but it has also received much criticism for what some view as monopolistic and exploitative practices. One of the company’s major issues is its habit of acquiring established game studios and then using them to develop only games that require a hefty payment from players in order to access additional content. EA has also come under fire for alleged monopolization in regards to microtransactions in certain of its games, such as Star Wars: Battlefront II, where it was thought to be excessively profiting from pay-to-win mechanics in the game. Another concern is related to EA’s habit of shutting down games after release and not investing enough in post-launch content for them.
