   Fun reminder that Electronic Arts started as an alt video game label that differentiated itself from the competition by giving creators credit for the games they've made, going as far as putting the designer's name on the front cover which used to be styled like a rock album.

     @cbleslie no, EA *became* an evil company. That's the point. :blobcatmlem:

     @Polychrome Meaning that now they are worse than the worst music label/publisher and that says a *lot*.

     @Polychrome Which reminds me of Disney, where you follow franchises or studios (Dreamworks, Pixar) but not directors because they're almost not credited.
     
     Like for Toy Story I had to check wikipedia, turns out it's the same director for the first two, different one for 3rd, yet another one for 4th.

     @lanodan it gets even worse when you try to follow a director on shows like Kamen Rider :blobcatgoogly:

     @Polychrome Makes me wonder how many directors overall the whole Kamen Rider franchise had.
     
     (Also pretty fun that the english wikipedia page goes Shouwa era, Heisei era, Reiwa era)
