Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Electronic Arts is the second oldest independent publisher of video games in existence (since the demise of Acclaim). Beginning life in 1982, the company first made its name publishing titles for the home computer market on machines like the Commodore 64 and Apple II rather than attempting to follow Activision into the home console market. As a result of this, they largely avoided becoming embroiled in The Great Video Game Crash of 1983 that killed off many of their rivals. In their early days, they justified their name by attempting to treat computer games as art, and the authors as artists in their own right. |
