Electronic Arts has never been a particularly popular company in the eyes of consumers, but Hazelight Studios founder Josef Fares, who collaborated on three titles with the publisher, was willing to go up to bat for it during a recent interview.
Speaking to The Game Business, the Split Fiction director said that there are “a lot of great people at EA” who “respect” Hazelight’s work and “leave [them] be.” Then, in classic Josef Fares fashion, he argued that “there’s not a publisher in the world that hasn’t f****d up now and then.”
While EA has an infamous reputation, “earning” the title of “Worst Company in America” from the website Consumerist in 2012 and 2013, Fares still believed that “EA is getting more sh*t than they deserve.”
