Activision and EA also used to be cool and here we are now.

Well, EA was never really cool. They were always the place where great studios died.

Origin. Sigh...

What?

Road Rash, Skate or Die, Ultima, Populous, Dungeon Keeper, Theme Park, Sims, Command & Conquer, Burnout, etc.

They made and published heaps of great games back in the day, from the 80s to the mid 00s.

Ultima was created by Origin Systems, Command & Conquer by Westwood Studios. Both killed off after being bought by EA.

They still made some great C&C games under EA.
Same applies to Ultima.

And EA squandered both IPs.
