When we last saw
EA Spouse, she was married to an
Electronic Arts employee and she painted a rather unflattering
portrait of EA's programming employment practices. Now at last,
Erin Hoffman's identity has been revealed. She and her husband have found
employment in the field they love and they've established a
website where people in the games industry can discuss the pros and cons of their jobs. Will it be enough to effect permanent change an industry that still has so much
on the line? The recent
EA settlement bodes well at least.

The battle for the NFL After
EA Games bombshell announcement that it had signed a five-year exclusive licensing deal with the
NFL, many sports games fans are wondering what will happen to their favorite franchises that don't feature
John Madden. You can bet
ESPN is hoppin' mad (and probably Microsoft as well), as are fans of its
NFL 2K series (of which I'm a proud member). Do deals like this hurt the fans or the sport ... or even the gaming industry itself? I certainly think so. Sports is about competition! Oh, no, wait it's about money. Never mind.

Disgruntled spouse 'outs' Electronic Arts' harsh employment practices, and by implication disses the whole American 'work 'em 'till they drop' ethos. Is this the start of a quiet revolution or is the American Way too entrenched to be stopped?
