A College Guide to EA

DesiVideoGamer writes "With all the recent news about EA, one of the professors at Carnegie Mellon University is giving a talk about EA after he visited the company for a semester. He also published a white paper about EA and what college grads should know about it. (pdf format) The paper talks a lot about the culture at EA and could indirectly explain the previous stories covered by Slashdot."

Your grasp of economic issues and the problems caused within a free market by predatory businesses like Wal Mart is truly awe inspiring. In addition, based on your largely ignorant response, I'm going to make a few likely assumptions about you:

1. You are male, between the ages of 15 and 23.
2. You are in high school or college.
3. Your entire education will be paid for by people who aren't you.
4. You've likely never held a permanent "real" job. Assuming you've ever had a job rather than sponging off your parents, it was in the services industry and you spent most of your time standing around jerking off in the storeroom rather than working.

I find it unlikely you're capable of grasping the concepts involved in such a complicated matter as, based on your response, you are almost certainly an ignorant whelp sponging off your parents or society as a whole. When you've actually spent a little bit of time in the real world - which does not include sitting around on your ever widening ass doing homework at your own pace on your own schedule in between attending 15 hours of class each week - come back and review the situation here and see if you can figure out why this sort of behavior on the part of a corporation is bad for salaried employees in general, not just the people being abused.

If you're truly so staggeringly ignorant that you can't follow the basic processes behind Wal Mart's behavior and figure out why buying low priced junk from them is going to cause you and everybody else more harm than good in the long run, please simply take a shotgun, insert it into the back of your throat, and pull the trigger. It's not that complicated of a concept, and if you really are so lacking in the most basic economic skills that you can't figure it out, you'd really do us all a favor if you just killed yourself.
