Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts, or EA, is the video game titan behind blockbuster franchises like Madden NFL, EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA), Battlefield, The Sims, and Apex Legends, publishing and developing titles that rake in billions from sports sims to battle royales across consoles, PC, and mobile. Founded in 1982 by Trip Hawkins as a haven for developers to create innovative games, it grew by acquiring studios like Maxis and BioWare, becoming a Silicon Valley staple known for pushing live services and microtransactions – love 'em or hate 'em.

Woke-wise, EA's gone full rainbow quest with DEI strategies embedding "inclusion" into everything from hiring to game design like mandatory side quests, massive donations and matches for racial justice orgs amid BLM fervor, Pride ERGs and 2:1 employee matches turning June into corporate parade season, and ESG reports chasing carbon neutrality while servers hum 24/7. It's like they're leveling up liberalism one loot box at a time – adorable for the progressive gamer, but maybe a respawn for folks who just want to frag without the equity tutorial.
