    Electronic Arts points to the future, puts everything in the hands of its internal teams

    Laura Honey loves working with people who make games, a love that started to be cultivated about 25 years ago when he started working at the former branch Electronic Arts and creator of Command & Conquer, Westwood Studios. “Those years of working directly with developers have forever shaped my understanding of the intricacies and sophistication of game development, as well as my appreciation and admiration for game developers,” says Miele. Now is the chief studios officer of EA, where he works with over 6.000 game developers across the company. Honey tells us he sees EA's internal studies as the company's “center of gravity”, with the goal of his work which is to enable those developers to do the things they want to do, while still responding to the wants and needs of EAs, communities and fans.



    In terms of game development philosophy, our players are always our North Star. When I started this current role, I wanted to get rid of some of the preconceived notions of what games we should invest in and really start listening to players and incorporating their voices into our development process. Since then, we've announced a series of games that players have been asking for: a new Skate, College Football, a remaster of Command & Conquer, the Mass Effect Trilogy, and we've been developing free content in Battlefront 2 for several years to completely change the perception of that. game.

    Laura Miele also highlights as Electronic Arts is paying more and more attention to the wishes of the players, as in the cases of the decision to propose the remake of the Mass Effect Trilogy or to support for free Star Wars Battlefront 2. However, not always - he specifies - every desire can be satisfied in the short term, in particular for series that take place annually or in any case periodically. Among the IPs in the future of the company, there are certainly Titanfall, Apex Legends and Fifa, which will ensure the software house of splendid years.
