If I could get EA CEO Larry Probst on the phone, there are a few things I
would ask him. "What's your salary?" would be merely a point of curiosity. The
main thing I want to know is, Larry: you do realize what you're doing to your
people, right? And you do realize that they ARE people, with physical limits,
emotional lives, and families, right? Voices and talents and senses of humor
and all that? That when you keep our husbands and wives and children in the
office for ninety hours a week, sending them home exhausted and numb and
frustrated with their lives, it's not just them you're hurting, but everyone
around them, everyone who loves them? When you make your profit calculations
and your cost analyses, you know that a great measure of that cost is being
paid in raw human dignity, right?
While I can't prove this is true, it certainly rings true. Shame on Larry
Probost, Shame on EA. I certainly won't be buying your games anytime soon.
