EA Sports wil best indiegames uitgeven

EA Sports wil best onafhankelijke en kleine ontwikkelaars de kans geven om hun spellen via het EA Games-merk uit te geven. Moederbedrijf EA doet dat ook middels het EA Partners-programma. “I think with iOS, Android, Facebook and tablets we’re now in a place that’s probably unique, where for the first time in 16 years four guys in a garage can build a great new IP related to sports that could definitely co-exist within the EA Sports brand”, zegt senior vice president Andrew Wilson. “In all honesty, we encourage it and we’d love to hear it. EA Partners has had some great properties that came from smaller developers that grew into amazing IP and game experiences, and EA Sports wants to foster that as well.” De voorwaarde van Wilson is dat de spellen ‘the EA Sports tenets of authenticity, competition and social interactivity’ bevatten.
