Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't be doing it there was no money in it (unless it was a mod or a game that I really felt I had to be part of).

But there's a line between getting paid for doing something you want to do and doing something you don't want to do for pay. I mean, if i wanted the latter, I'd have become an accountant and got paid loads more.

And yeah Ben, in 20 years, I'll be able to go back and laugh at this statement, but luckily I'm young and unchained enough just now to believe that and go with it :P

The EA thing was just the fact that a heavy chunk of their games are franchise stuff with the same generic mechanics again and again. They're getting much better, recently, though. They're just a good example of that sort of thing - plenty more big publishers out there that do the same.
