Long Live the Confederation!
Actually, we're an odd exemption from the usual internet-geek-rage regarding EA -- we *want* them to do the same thing over and over again.
EA is actually very good about experimental stuff, no matter what the slashdot-and-brie crowed insists... just because they capitalize on things like The Sims and Ultima Online doesn't mean that they didn't take a huge risk by developing those new concepts in the first place. Right now they're throwing an awful lot of money into Spore and Army or Two, which are both big untried 'concept' games.
