A company whose existence is dedicated to fucking over all gamers and developers with whom it comes in contact.
1: Dude, did you hear about the horror stories that former EA game developers tell?
2: Yeah, that's fucked up. Did you hear that EA gained control of Star Wars?
1: No. Fuck.

A moment that is generally agreed to have had a significant influence on pop culture and everyday life. While the term was coined by Rose McGowan in context of the #MeToo movement, and is mostly associated with the K-pop community, the phenomenon is universal and a basic component of how culture works.
Real world events such as social/political movements, the election of a new U.S. President, major catastrophes and disasters, as well as entertainment such as movies, music and TV, can all function as cultural resets. Notable cultural resets in relatively recent memory include:
* The Beatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan show in 1964
* The Watergate scandal of 1974
* The release of Nevermind by Nirvana in 1991
* The September 11, 2001 attacks
* The election and inauguration of Barack Obama in 2009
* The COVID-19 pandemic

"The Nineties politically started with the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989 and the Soviet Union dissolving on December 26, 1991, and ended with both the 2000 Presidential election which saw the victory of George W. Bush and the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 which left people so stupefied that it functioned as something of a cultural reset button." - TV Tropes' article on the 1990s

A greedy company who sell unfinished games, and make you pay more money for DLC for the rest of the game
Person A: Skate 4 would be great!
Person B: Nah it would suck, it’s by EA
Person A: What? Why?
Person B: Because you’d have to buy, the ‘Get off the skateboard’ DLC - £98.55
Buy the ‘description expansion pack’ to read more! - £49.99

Althought they claim it stands for Electronic Arts, it really stands for Evil Assholes, who have little respect for either their employees, or their customers. Oh and they have a unfair stanglehold on the PC game market, if one wants to know why all the PC games have sucked of late its because of them.
EA should be broken up by the Goverment, then we'll have the god gamemakers back. Like Bullfog, Janes, Maxis, and westwood.

A massive media mogul that has produced and released hundreds of video games for most platforms (if not all of today's modern ones), and detroyed many valuable, well-liked companies in the process.
Some companies destroyed by Electronic Arts:
Maxis - Creator of the "Sim" games (such as "The Sims", "SimCopter", and of course, "SimCity") which made quality games with attention to humor and detail. Since EA's absorbtion of this fine game maker, games are released buggy and unfinished, and are never quite properly fixed, since patches don't come out as they should.
Westwood - Creator of the Command & Conquer series of games, also obliterated by EA. Excellent titles were produced by Westwood, and came in an actually finished state. If there were problems, they were patched. Since becoming one of the many sub-names of EA, games produced under the C&C trademark have been ridiculously shoddy. One such game is Command & Conquer Generals, and its expansion, C&CG: Zero Hour. This particular title is absolutely ridden with bugs and improper code, and despite its popularity, EA refuses to release updated patches for it.

Microsoft offers computing solutions. Electronic Arts - that's a monopoly. A monopoly that abuses its own customers to the fullest extent allowed by law and the rules of business.

Evil Arts - Better known as Electronic Arts to the public. The motto "Its In The Game" is loosely translated to "Hand Over Your Soul" in the language Hamidamidam.
