Electronic Arts

Electronic Arts (EA) is an American developer, marketer, publisher, and distributor of video games. Established in 1982 by Trip Hawkins, the company was a pioneer of the early home computer games industry and was notable for promoting the designers and programmers responsible for their games. EA was just a publisher for its first few years and exclusively published for home computers, but began developing games in-house in the late 1980s and started supporting consoles in the early 1990s.

Electronic Arts' most popular and long running brands are Need for Speed, Medal of Honor, Burnout, Battlefield, FIFA, Madden and The Sims.
