He removed this part for the following reason:
-->\\\'\\\'removed the criticism because this site is not here to complain about companies\\\' busines practices; also, EA Partners is not just importing Japanese titles. \\\'\\\'
So... What should we do ? I don\\\'t agree with such a cut, but I can see that its place isn\\\'t on the main page, since it\\\'s, in my eyes, YMMV material. Soooo, do you think we can put this text in the YMMV subpage (though we have to decide which tropes could apply to the situation), do you think we should just put it back, or do you think we should just remove this part once and for all?
Please, discuss.
EDITION: It seems that NeoChaos took care of it himself and put it in the YMMV section. No need for further discussion I guess.

[[spoiler:A reputation in recent years for churning out cookie cutter sequels of their big franchises, along with [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames poor quality licensed titles]] and a newfound habit of disabling their games\' online features through shutting down servers has hurt their bottom line, resulting in an ongoing attempt by the company to [[WinBackTheCrowd recapture some of their early glory days]] with some well received original titles, along with a partial return to their old, publishing-only form with the release of Tim Schaefer\'s \'\'BrutalLegend\'\'. (Only to intentionally [[LowestCommonDenominator conceal the gameplay]] against the wishes of TimSchafer, and almost bankrupting him by canceling the sequel.) This has [[HeelFaceTurn turned them]] from being a hated symbol of everything wrong with the industry to a... moderately liked symbol of a freak hybrid of all that is right \'\'and\'\' wrong with the industry at the same time. It helps that {{Activision}} is frequently considered what they were like, [[ItGotWorse but worse]]; thus EA is thought of as the lesser of two evils, so to speak.
