Did you know EA is the Only reason battlefield came to life?

When peter Jackson went to Hollywood with his movie idea adaption to LOTR Back in 1999, every major studio kicked h out of the door . Warnerbros, colombia, 20 centry fox - none of them wanted to hear about movie adaption of fantasy book from a young unknown director who's only movies were small budget short horror movies .

We also need to remember it was the 90s Were action and sc fi movies were the king

He fantasy flick was consider uninteresting and to risky to invest

But, right before he gave up, he got a call from New Line Cinema who gave him the green light and a whopping 300$ milion budget, that was all in for this preety small studio, if the trilogy well fall, they will to

And, you know what happend next - billions dollars revenue and world wide successes

Why i mention it? Becouse back in 1999 when peter jackson got to green light

Another small and very young team looked for a big publisher to fund them, That team called - Dice

And that game was 1942 battlefield

But no publisher wanted to risk and put money on FPS multiplayer back in the 90s early 2000s

Thier were no big fps multiplayer back then and most games were SP ones

But near the end when Dice team almost gave up and scrap that game to dust, EA gave them a call and a green light with big budget, the rest is History

So, don't hate EA so much, without it, we wouldn't never had BF games in the first place

And beside, EA not bad as some other company's like Ubisoft ;)

New line cinema and EA both gave small unknown young talent's thier trust and funding when all the rest of the industry kicked them out of the door , and thanks to them we got one of the two biggest and beloved franchises in history
