EA Takes Another Step Towards Being Doomed

I just read an article over at Shacknews that told about how someone from the EA Headquarters has been making lots of changes to the EA Wikipedia page. Apparently he has been editing out nearly any reference to Trip Hawkins, who originally founded EA back in the day. He was even removed from the “key people” section (look for it on the right sidebar), even when people would try to add him back in. Since this whole shindig went down a couple days ago, there is already a content section noting the changes this staff member was making to the page.

In my opinion, this has to be one of EA’s dumber goof-ups they have made, which is saying something, because bad game support is key with EA. Why doesn’t EA monitor their employees (or the new CEO, if he was the one making the changes) better? If they continue down this path, they aren’t going to get very far into the future without a lot of ridicule from other people (as if they don’t have that already). Of course, I am forgetting a key fact; they have money, so they can get away with crap like this and still come out on top.
