Industry Top Facts: EA Guy
For this edition of Industry Top Facts, Lemmy&Binky are proud to feature perhaps the biggest player in the game industry. One who just so happens to be a reader of this very blog!
His (or possibly her) career has spanned decades (probably) and he/she is the most respected artist / programmer / designer / musician / tester / producer / receptionist not only in EA, but perhaps in the entire world. We salute you, EA Guy!
Initiate Factage!
1. There have been some poor games published by Electronic Arts. The primary reason for this is that EA Guy did not do any art/programming/music/testing/producing/phone-answering on them.
2. Electronic Arts was so called because its initials were the same as EA Guy.
3. EA Guy is so modest he/she once hired a team of hackers to replace all occurrences of “EA Guy” on the internet to read “Chuck Norris”.
4. A photo has never been taken of EA Guy because of fears it may be posted on the internet, turn all men/women gay and destroy the entire human race.
5. 90% of EA’s product range was conceived by EA Guy when he/she was idly doodling while talking on the phone.
6. EA Guy receives $3 million annually from royalties from the “Square, circle, triangle” motif he/she developed for the original Electronic Arts logo. Sony only actually hold the rights to the “X”.
7. EA Guy once managed to get Battlefield 2142 working on high settings on a Gameboy Color.
8. EA Guy once told Sir Clive Sinclair what a “rubber button” was.
9. John Carmack, Will Wright and Shigeru Miyamoto are all the lovechildren of EA Guy and Marilyn Monroe/Elvis.
10. EA Guy will not be bullied into buying a copy of Gibbage, but instead bought 10,000 copies with his/her vast fortune, purely because it’s a bloody good laugh.
11. EA Guy has never left a comment on Lemmy&Binky.com :’(
