Can you or someone maybe explain it a little bit?

Don't really get what it's about.

They need to pay because they cancelled a College Football game?

They were voted worst company twice in a row.

Not sure what the exact reasons are, but it's not really 100% deserved. There are worse, but that doesn't really matter now.

As far as I know, EA got a bad reputation for messing many things up, maybe Sim City or Dragon Age related. Also, I think they're known for being greedy aswell.

FIFA games are good though. So they didn't sue anyone or reject a console or something?
Is Sim City a series? Oh yeh it's that Sims malarky....

SimCity is by EA, just like Sims, but they're still different. SimCity is basically the series about building the city and not so much about the people. It's more of a business game than Sims.

Fifa games are as good as any other sports game. A bit better graphics, updated roster, a few more features. Basically the same, just with a little bonus.

I'm not exactly sure what they are gettin sued for. All I know, they have to pay these college football people $40 mil.

I like EA. I like Madden, Sims, FIFA, EA MMA, they are decent games.

I only like their earlier games, before they became such a terrible company. Can't say I'm too bothered by this.
