We can take risks because we are pretty sure our blockbusters are going to generate good revenue that allow us some cushion. So we're not living hand to mouth. At any given moment, in an operation as big as EA worldwide, there are a whole lot of people with a whole lot of ideas and they are given a bit of money to flesh them out. Some will work, some won't. There will be projects that will be killed no matter the economy." - Jeff Brown Vice President of Communications Electronic Arts

I am glad to see that EA hasn't been discouraged by what happened to them last year. Pushing for quality is the right way to go...you just have to see it through.
